Indeed summer has arrived in the U.A.E. Today’s post is about wearing black and white street style that is easy to pull off and summer ready. They say wearing black is a bad idea for summer because black attracts heat, not with this look.

Well, when it comes to fashion it’s all about choosing the right fabric and material. It’s about time to say goodbye to the nippy weather and shift your wardrobe to a much lighter and airy. Most of the brands has already released their collections using different kinds of breathable materials and the most widely use organic cotton in different color pallets including monochromes. Invest in light fabric shirts for an easy to go look or something you can use even after working hours for a quick hangout with the barkadas (Friends). Here is my take on wearing a black and white ensemble for summer.

I choose to wear an air cooled mesh top from H&M. The holes on it allows the natural flow of air to your body just make sure that the holes are not as visible and obvious to avoid unnecessary scene. Be reminded that we are in the U.A.E., adhere the dress code and respect the culture.

Invest in a good pair of black tattered jeans, it’s timeless and you can not go wrong paring it with a plain white shirt or a statement shirt. Otherwise DIY is also a good option if you have an old black jeans. I will discuss this on my next blog entry.

My Adidas NMD Runner Black and White is a perfect match to achieved and create a sporty look. I love the idea that this pair is not just stylish and comfortable, you could also wear them in the gym for a good support. I call this function meets style.

Don’t be afraid to go over board, try to experiment in textures like in this look. Go for mesh, denim and leather for a unique and personal approach. Remember that black and white is a subtle combination that will not go out of fashion. It is practical, classy, sharp and always on point.  So go get one.
