When I stopped this Fashionista on the street, she apologized for not having an outfit with a very complex color palette. However, this was the exact reason I stopped her. I believe black is hands down the best color out there. My motto is: when in doubt, wear black. No matter where you are going, what the occasion or the weather conditions are, black clothing is always perfectly appropriate. Black is sophisticated, edgy, cool and classic. It looks good on absolutely everyone and never fails to exude a crisp, put together look.
This Fashionista exemplifies this exact ideology as she dons an all-black outfit on her way to Parson’s School of Design on this snowy morning. From top to bottom, this dark hue is sported with only a few accessories working as accents to add the perfect amount of color to her overall look.
A black sweater dress is worn by this Fashionista over some black leggings and Reebok running sneakers. On a snowy, cold day as such, sneakers are the perfect footwear in the city because they are functional and practical in the harsh weather conditions. To add some personality to the outfit, this Fashionista rocks a black motorcycle jacket over her dress, detailed with gold zippers. This jacket gives some shape to her outfit and acts as a quintessential piece to her overall all-black everything look.
Although there is nothing wrong with only donning black clothing, just a little bit of color can always be fun to play with. Keeping this idea in mind, this Fashionista wears some bright red gloves and uses a vibrant purple umbrella to shield herself from the snow. Not only do these elements add some playful details to the look, but they also help this Fashionista fight these cruel weather conditions.
So, the next time you are stuck on what to wear, go black—all-black that is. If you do this, I promise you will feel confident in your clothing, as all-black everything will become your favorite look as well.
