Black is the color of mystery, secrets and the unknown. However, it is no secret that wearing all-black brings on mixed feelings in fashion. Anna Wintour hates it, while some, such as Michael Kors and Vera Wang, choose all-black as an everyday uniform. As Christian Dior said, “You can wear black at any time. You can wear it at any age. You may wear it for almost any occasion.” I happen to agree, and so does this Fashionisto!
He didn’t let going to class stop him from wearing a perfectly put-together, all-black ensemble. There are a few ways to create more interest and depth while wearing all black, and this Fashionisto seems to know just how to do it. He paired his distressed, ripped-knee jeans with a striped, sheer top that adds some subtle detail to his look. With there still being a slight coolness to the air, the black cardigan was a necessity, while also serving as the perfect piece to finish off the outfit. Playing with textures is one of the key elements to pulling off all-black. His leather boots and woven leather backpack compliment the softness of the cardigan, creating that sought after mix of textures and adding just the right amount of edge. Once again, a fellow Iowa Stater is looking RAD!
As you can see, wearing all-black doesn’t have to mean boring. This Fashionisto pulls off a killer outfit while rocking it with confidence.
