The look is made up of a fitted black sleeveless crop top with a high neckline creating a slim upper half. This allows the skirt to take the lead in this monochrome set.
The high-waisted black skater skirt adds volume to the look with its soft flare and flared skirt falling away from the waist giving definition to a minimalist look and adding movement.
White low-top sneakers help to soften the black color scheme and complete the streetwear-inspired set while a small black handbag is also in style and minimalistic with subtle gold hoops adding some warmth to the dark color palette.
This look is great because of the contrast between the top and the bottom. The crop top is tight, while the skirt is flared, which makes the waist obvious, but it also makes the look balanced so that the bottom doesn’t overwhelm the top.
I would also say that keeping the colors so simple and contained to black is what gives this outfit its cool harmony. The two pieces are very different in terms of cuts, so the similarities in color help to bind the two together.
Adding the white sneakers is a good choice because it lightens up the overall look, making it less like a dinner party and more like streetwear, while also giving the feet some coverage, which is crucial in hot weather.
Recreate the look with a black fitted crop top and high-waisted skater skirt. Keeping the two garments in a similar shade will create an appearance of a set.
To style the outfit for a relaxed daytime look, pair the items with white sneakers and a mini shoulder bag. Add some minimal gold or silver jewelry to complete the look.
For the evening, switch the sneakers for ankle boots or ballet flats and add a mini structured bag and some statement earrings to upgrade the outfit.
