Now that the weather is getting colder, our wardrobes seem to be getting darker. It is not uncommon to see a Fashionista on campus in an all-black ensemble, especially as the temperatures start to drop. So how do you pull off a look with just one or two dark colors? Texture is the answer. For some late-fall fashion inspiration, we can turn to this Fashionista, who leaves us adding each piece of her edgy ensemble to our wish lists!
This Fashionista rocks a knit black cowl neck sweater paired with distressed black jeans. To break up the all-black look, and create a focal point of the outfit, she throws on a gray suede jacket. Soft, warm and versatile—does suede ever really go out of style? It keeps coming back every fall to work its way into our outfits. Fortunately, suede, which this season is popular in black, gray and tan, is simple and effortless to wear. This Fashionista finishes off her look with a pair of lace-up black heeled booties, which go along perfectly with the edgy vibe. Although she sticks to only black and dark gray, this look is far from basic. She incorporates three distinct textures: knit, suede and denim, to create a unique and stylish ensemble. And don’t forget about the nails! A sleek coating of black polish matches her edgy aesthetic.
The key to wearing shades of black and gray is to mix different textures and fabrics. In the colder months choose heavier fabrics, like this Fashionista does, such as knits and suede. Sticking with a few neutral colors is a great way to establish your style aesthetic, and what better time than in these upcoming cold months? Just make sure your closet contains a variety of textures, including a little bit of suede, as it never fails to disappoint.
