March 11th, 2015 at 2:00am

Whether you are working backstage at Fashion Week, sitting in the office or roaming the halls of your school, going back to basics with your color scheme is always a smart choice. Black and white is a classic combination that will never go out of style, and it sure looks chic.

There is no denying that this Fashionista looks fierce. The dramatic contrast of her dark clothing, fiery red hair and pale skin is breathtaking. Not to mention how every element of her clothing has a unique flair. From her structured skirt outlined in fringe to her leather backpack and belted combat boots, this girl knows how to mix and match like a pro. Her entire outfit contains staple pieces for a high fashion wardrobe. Each item incorporates bold style and a multifunctional purpose. So why dress like her? She knows how to rock the new trendy look where sportswear meets workwear. Through her outfit, we can spot the pairing of structure and casual style.

Key things every Fashionista should adopt from her look include a white blouse and a bomber jacket. She chose to tuck and button her basic top, but you can wear a blouse in so many different varieties with every form of bottom. Her jacket is a necessity because it can be worn to a wide range of occasions, from day to night. If you want to add some spice to this basic color scheme, you can choose a pair of colorful tights or a bag instead of sticking with black. But you cannot go wrong with the traditional tones.

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “The juxtaposition of workwear and sportswear is a really cool way to style an outfit, like I did here with my wrap skirt and bomber jacket. Find a way to incorporate those two looks into one and have fun with it. Also, going neutral with black and white is easy, sleek and looks great on everyone! Try it out.”
