When it comes to finding looks that fit a wide range of occasions, options can include everything from classic blazer suits and pants to cute casual dresses (accessorized correctly, of course). However, color also becomes an important part of the formula, and if you ask Jennifer Aniston, black and white basics should be at the core.

Another reason the actress loves these two colors? Her vision of a perfect outfit is one that can seamlessly flow from day to night. For a press conference at The Morning Show, Jen wore a black flannel with a round neck and short sleeves, pairing it with nude sandals that have long been a part of her repertoire on and off the red carpet. The trendy touch? Culottes with hems a few inches above the ankles. Yes, it's elegant and functional. See how you can emulate the look for less than $120!
