Monochrome is one of the simplest, most chic looks to wear whatever the season.  So for the girl on a budget it is a great long term investment whatever the price and if done well, Monochrome never fails to gain attention.  These two jackets will both stand the test of time and can be dressed down with a pair of dark denims or dressed up with a little black or white number.

The Tory Burch Breton-striped navy and white cotton-knit jacket with its crest-embossed gold button fastenings ouzes Riviera is available at Net-a-porter for £285

However, if your budget doesn’t stretch that far we found a great alternative at RedLabel Fashion for less than a tenth of the price.
