Trend Alert --- Minimalism

By Laura Perez, cupcakeMAG Fashion Intern

One of the trends most seen this season is… The minimalist: black and white look! Yes, black and white is the new black this season! Choosing minimalist pieces in black and white such as made-to-measure tuxedo jackets, blazers, A-line skirts and pencil skirts create the perfect modern day minimalist look. The best part is that you can add some edge to your look by pairing your outfit with pops of leopard print, leather or lace! Making it effortless to transition from day to night!
