We’ve sung the praises of the classic LBD before, but spring is the season for shaking things up a bit—the old standbys included! Ali Larter and Madonna have the look down, and Eva Longoria Parker knows how to rock black-and-white separates for the trend. Keep reading for our fashionable two-toned finds:

 

This belted zebra dress by Tibi makes safari look ultra-chic and is the perfect replacement for your boring LBD.

 

 

This silk wrap Banana Republic number is sophisticated and fun—wear it to a business dinner or a party and fit right in at both.

 

 

Plain black cocktail dresses were never this fun. White House Black Market’s Tavira dress features a sweetheart neckline and damask-inspired print which is sure to set you apart from the crowd.

 

 

Liven up a black skirt with this feminine floral top, shown left. The black-and-white separates concept can be taken to the next level with pants, a shirt and a cardigan to complete an outfit similar to one worn in the video above. We know it’s not really a dress, but this look is versatile enough for any occasion—even more casual ones.
