Black and white never go out of style. But, this Alice + Olivia Madeline Dress gives our old stand-by a new twist.

Although in a traditional A-line shape, the strong geometric print and the pop of deep pink from the structured belt give off a modern and whimsical vibe with the colour-blocking effect. Also the ruche detail helps to define the waist, creating a girlie silhouette even sans belt.

This dress would be a fun dress for cocktails or if layered with a cardigan could easily be transformed into a pulled together, but trendy look for work. $300 available at shopbop.com.
