Watch out for black and white horizontal stripes – it’s a look that is having a huge fashion moment right now. The black and white horizontal striped dress is what you need to add to your wardrobe – now! By Jess

Now we all know that black and white never go out of fashion so not only is this look hot right now but it is sure to be more than a trend but rather a true classic fashion item that will be a wardrobe staple for years to come. And, there are infinite styling possibilities with striped dresses - smart, casual or dressy. Throw a singlet top under the dress and you create a little sailor look. A rolled neck jumper under the dress with black tights and some ballet flats is a fab casual look and if you want to go all sophisticated try teaming it with a white long sleeved shirt underneath, footless tights, some boots and a long black jacket. And while you’re are embracing your inner zebra check out the infinite choices – tops, jumpers, bags and shoes in this wild and very classic monochromatic print!

This top is just sizzing hot and you are sure to be channeling some animal magnetism inthis baby! This is the back view, which features a deep cut out with lashings of lace. The front has some bling action on the shoulders and the fit is divine. Now, we know it's excy but it is one of those pieces that is worth saving up for. I am, and have placed an order!

Accessorise with stripes
No need to limit stripes to clothing. This zebra print tote is a great way to wear this trend. I would recommend against matching this bag with a striped dress or outfit, but it's a great way to add some spark to an all black number.
