How to wear black without looking boring, the sequel
5 principles
If you buy something, I might earn a commission.
They say wearing black is the easy style choice but I challenge that claim because assembling an outfit that is thought-provoking or inspiring but is also made up only of black demands a level of shrewd thinking. It’s a creative challenge that invites you to consider the depth of the range of shades of black you can put together, what silhouettes are most impactful when paired, how texture and hardware and software and outerwear play lead roles in keeping things interesting.
But what makes one such look the right look?
1. Texture
2. Silhouettes
3. A pop of software
4. A pop of hardware
5. Outerwear
- Texture: black suede fringe jacket, cotton shorts, leather boots, jersey tee. Pantyhose actually is not withstanding either. Pantyhose!
- Silhouettes: Long coat with fringe over tiny, v-shaped shorts with legs out and wide shaft boots.
- Pop of software: the silk cape.
- Pop of hardware: the red clutch with gold metal middle.
- Outerwear: the suede fringe.
The end.
