When I think of wearing classic, ultra chic ensembles, I always opt for a basic black or a black and white pair-up. Most of the time, you could never go wrong with it. Basic white and black ensembles are investments. At times you’re better off splurging on these, while some days you can spend under $30 for it. You just have to know where to look.
Here are a few pieces that offer two options for you. One is a designer piece that cost more than a regular budget. While the other is something you can get for a lot less.
