ALL IN THE DETAILS: Black Magic

My mom always said, “If you don’t know what to wear, put on all black,” and mama always knows best, right? This winter (or any time of the year, really) black on black is the perfect go-to for any occasion. The monochromatic, minimalist look can be dressed up or down, depending on where you’re going. The key to setting the tone with your all-black look lies within the details.

This Fashionisto is a style genius because he was able to incorporate a number of trendy details, without looking too “try-hard.” He rocks a sleek pair of dungarees over a chill graphic T-shirt. He also sports a clean black snapback and chic pair of clear frames. His all-black rubber watch adds a nice finish to the overall look.

While his OOTD may seem extremely fashion-forward, this look is easy to achieve if you keep simplicity in mind. Notice how his overalls aren’t textured. A corduroy or velvet fabric would have a completely different effect. His glasses and hat are both totally plain. In fact, the T-shirt is the only item with any real detail, at all. To get a little more style points, try the one shoulder trend with your overall strap—this adds a little edge to the otherwise minimalist look.
