Words and Styling by ALISON EDMOND

Monochrome rules this winter with a reinterpretation of classic black-tie style for the ladies. Add a men’s tie to your blouse or suit, or a waist-cinching cummerbund to a jumpsuit. Oversize dress shirts are cool — wear one with your matching clutch and pumps for a touch of glamour. Or play with adding subtle accents of black to a top-to-toe white outfit.
