Jocelyn Krasner It’s all here in black and white—all that’s fit to flatter in a handful of high-contrast best sellers. We picked them from Alembika’s exclusive URBAN label, curating a capsule group in which everything mixes and mingles with each other—as well as the contents of your closet. From this group, we all have our favorites so we decided to share them here. Take a look…
YAEL’S B&W PICK:
URBAN STRIPE TURTLENECK TOP
Slim black and white stripes add a pop of pattern and chic sharp contrast to any look—and, contrary to popular belief, look flattering on all shapes and sizes. Stripes get a bad rap but we are here to correct that with a top that’s easy and great fitting on all proportions, from Missy to Plus.
This soft and comfortable beauty is shaped in an easy-fitting pullover style with relaxed turtleneck to wear loose or folded over. Here, Liraz is rocking the French tuck with this delicious stretch jersey top and METAL ICONIC JEANS in inky black.
If you know Yael, Alembika’s great-fitting jeans are her signature go-to pants. She has them in so many colors. Have you tried them yet? Snag Yael’s top B&W pick, the turtleneck here, then shop our ICONIC STRETCH JEANS collection and find your new favorite pants, as well!
CARLA’S B&W PICK:
URBAN CINCH TUNIC TOP
Two different textiles, tons of style! Our breathable French terry knit top with chic angled hem is treated to white woven cotton sleeves with adjustable cinch ties and raw edge detail. So fun and flattering.
Carla eyed this head-turning top the moment it hit the showroom… It’s a unique style that shows her creative edge. And the asymmetrical tunic-length hem looks nothing short of fabulous with any pants or skirt, for office or after hours.
Here, Meyrav is wearing the cinch top with URBAN LAVA VELVET TROUSERS, another amazing black design that fits into every wardrobe. Carla rocks this top with her signature distressed jeans and it looks equally as chic.
CLAIRE’S B&W PICK:
URBAN ZIP VEST JACKET
Claire chose this elegant and edgy zip-front vest and it looks amazing on her. Everything does, actually, but we can’t hold it against her because she’s always an amiable sweetheart.
Jacket? Vest? Whatever you call it it’s a versatile layer that dresses up anything and everything in your closet—and as you can see, looks great with Yael’s favorite SLIM STRIPE TURTLENECK.
The chic cap-sleeved style is soft French terry on top, sleek satin on the bottom, and beautiful all around—with gorgeous gathers in front and neat pleats in back. Draped pockets, designer Hagar’s signature, complete the look.
ALIN’S B&W PICK:
URBAN ANGLE TUNIC TOP
Alin chose this pure woven cotton top in a shirt-style pullover with relaxed A-line silhouette and ultra-chic cutaway hemline. It’s a top that loves to layer so Alin likes wearing it peeking out from under sweaters and jackets. It always looks great.
Here, Meyrav is wearing it with our METAL ICONIC JEANS in inky black. In the showroom, we all have our favorite pants… In fact, we have “teams” because some of us are Iconic Stretch Jeans devotees, and some of us are Punto Pants addicts (even though, admittedly, we love them both). Alin is on the Punto team and wears this awesome, season-spanning tunic over hers, as well as with leggings, and both look beautifully proportioned.
FATIMA’S B&W PICK:
URBAN TRAPEZE MAXI DRESS
One of the things you will notice about the BLACK & WHITE MUST-HAVES is that many of these pieces are appropriate for all seasons, as pure woven cotton is cool in Summer and layers like a pro in the colder months.
Fatima took this fab dress on vacation with her, to be sure she had a comfortable dress to wear when the temperature drops at night. Now that it’s chilly on the east coast, she’s layering it up with plush sweaters and cropped jackets. So cute.
Cut with loads of freedom to move, the trapeze shape has a chic drop waist and flared skirting. Dressmaker details complete the look!
