Black is one of the apparent trends for spring and summer 2015. As for many Fashionistas/os, black has always been a go-to shade when it comes to our wardrobe simply because of it’s versatile, chic and classic in nature. We tend to gravitate towards it because of it’s universal ability to go with anything and look good on anyone. Black items have always been a staple in our closets, and I for one have no trouble believing that it will always remain that way.
The only issue that may arise when it comes to loving black garments is the thought of having to put them away for the warmer weather. Well, I’m here to present that just like in the spring 2015 collections from Céline and Alexander McQueen, we no longer need to be afraid to break out our favorite shade for the summertime. They were able to showcase a great trend that makes black totally acceptable during all seasons, especially when it’s incorporated in the right ways.
This Fashionista’s cool summer look is an ideal example. She’s wearing a sleeveless black skater dress, a great version of a little black dress that’s perfect for the summer weather. She paired it with some taupe booties for height, a beautiful silver ring and a statement necklace with cobalt blue details to add a cool pop of color. All in all, she was able to turn an essential LBD into a versatile look that can be easily transitioned from a summer day to night, while including the classic and timeless trend of black into the mix. This goes to show that the dark shades aren’t just for the winter and fall.
What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “I think balance is definitely key when it comes to wearing black in the summer. A good way is to integrate a litte pop of color where you can in order to brighten up the look.”
