What’s black and white with red accessories? Based on our recent observations, it is the outfit-recipe color combo taking NYC by storm this season. And we’re all about it.
In fact, it’s the simplicity that makes this trio so intriguing. Black and white wardrobe staples, like trousers and turtlenecks, get into the holiday spirit with an unexpected pop of red in the form of seasonally appropriate accessories. Play with purses, go big with bows, and stay cozy with sheer tights and socks. As long as they’re in a merry hue—more holly berry than mulled wine—it’s impossible to make a misstep.
Keep scrolling to check out how some of our favorite NYC style stars are sporting this specific combination of colors this winter, and then shop an array of items in black, white, and red that can be mixed and matched to create your version of the look. Just stick to this tri-color recipe, and you’ll be making headlines throughout the holidays and into 2025.
