So, you wake up and notice you only have 30 minutes to get ready for work. These two basic colors for your top & bottom can effectively cut your outfit decision time, yet looking very chic!

A black top & bottom is a timeless base to style any outwear.

If you are in a colder environment, I prefer to do a first layer of heat tech for the top and bottom (Uniqlo selection is my favorite) with a black long sleeve turtle neck.

If you want to look chic but in a more tropical climate, I prefer breathable slacks and black top, because the heat will absorb to your clothes, unlike white fabric which will reflect.

A white top & bottom is another timeless base to style any outwear.

Styling white can be a bit tricky especially since there are different shades of white. Also, if you want to wear those cute pair of white pants though you do not know how to style it? Below are some suggestions.

If you are in a colder environment, I prefer to do a first layer of heat tech for the top and bottom (Uniqlo selection is my favorite) with a long turtle neck OR a cardigan (Outfit 2). When shedding your coat in the office, I would prefer to have a comfortable cardigan to offset the all white outfit. 

If you want to look chic but in a more tropical climate, I prefer breathable slacks, tops, or outerwear   (For example: Outfit 1 & 3)
