This Pride, wear black and white and nothing in between

WorldPride this year will no doubt be the biggest fashion show of all time; hotties with bodies will be strutting their best assets draped in some sickening street style. And while we’ll see an army of rainbows and brights, an unexpected way to show your true colours is to dress in high-contrast black and white — it is anything but basic and is guaranteed to catch attention. Combine sex and sport by mixing classic athletic stripes and prints with textures like leather and mesh. Finish your look with an element of luxury by investing in a pair of sunglasses — but only if you’re good at not losing them on parade day.

Check out this slideshow to see the looks in all their photographic glory.
