striped shorts

While vacationing in St.-Tropez, Kate Moss worked a chic black and white look proving the basic hues are anything but boring when styled correctly. The model layered a white vest over a simple black tank, striped Topshop shorts ($64), and a braided black belt. In keeping with her two-tone theme, Kate tossed on a pair of round black shades, a white fringe beaded necklace, and black and white printed tote. Take a cue from Kate and pair her exact shorts with a black tank and white vest, or go bold with print-on-print by swapping your tank and vest for this C.Luce polka dot blouse ($59) and a pair of matching Converse, then with dual-hue accessories and a printed tote to nail Kate's funky and fresh style.

Taylor Swift exuded retro chic while hanging out with boyfriend Conor Kennedy and his dad, Robert Kennedy Jr., at his family's house in Hyannis, MA. The singer sported a red halter polka-dot bikini top and navy-and-white striped Marc by Marc Jacobs shorts ($104, originally $148) on bottom. Taylor then completed her vintage look by tying a printed bandana around her head and painting her lips red. Before Summer comes to a close, be sure to mimic Taylor's vacation look by pairing a similar polka-dot bikini top with striped shorts. Don't forget to dress your head with a printed scarf for that signature Taylor Swift aesthetic. Shop similar pieces below to get started.
