Having watched several of the SS13 fashion shows, I noticed that monochrome made a prominent appearance – particularly at the Marc Jacobs RTW show in New York. Whether it's black and white stripes or prints on clothing, shoes and accessories, there's a lot of ideas to choose from.
Below are some examples of trans-seasonal/new season products available now in stores if you wish to incorporate the monochrome trend into your wardrobe. If black and white seems a little too harsh for you, why not soften the tones and use a black/cream or black/ivory colour-ways instead. My personal favourite is the Kate Spade black/cream polka dot iPad case – why stop with just your appearance? Spruce up your tech-accessories by adding a monochrome printed iPad case to your accessory must-haves. The red interior adds a bold pop of colour to the overall look.

Star Style
One star who has already been seen out-and-about donning this bold, chic trend is Taylor Swift. When she attended the KIIS FM Jingle Ball 2012 in New York in December 2012, she was photographed wearing the Kate Spade Carolyn dress in the black/ivory colour-way.
