Trend Watch for Autumn/Winter: Mad for Monochrome

Black and white is back yet again but this season it's time to mix it up with prints, designs and checks

Monochrome is one of those trends that doesn’t seem to go away but this time around we are seeing new takes on it.

Print and unusual designs now feature on staple pieces in combination with classic patterns such as houndstooth.

At only €6 you really can’t go wrong with this t-shirt from Penneys. Worn oversized to hit another popular AW13 trend and teamed with leather leggings it’s a simple but stylish outfit. Pretty much guaranteed to sell out, you heard it here first…

This River Island skirt is a simple way to update your wardrobe. It’s both modern and classic as it features a traditional black and white palette in a futuristic design. It’s also an on trend midi length and at €34 it really is a bargain.

It’s winter and we live in Ireland so a coat is pretty much the most important item to invest in. However basics don’t have to be boring and this Red Herring number from Debenhams is worth every cent at €87 .
