Whether you are preparing for an office party or are looking for a Halloween alternative to your day-to-day restaurant tablecloths, invest in some black-and-white striped ones. Stripes have the wonderful attribute of being both elegant and trendy. Combined with orange table decor, they give off the perfect Halloween vibe, yet you can pair them with other colors and use them for other festive occasions.
