Oh, fall sweet fall, you’re almost here! As we all know, when the weather gets colder, our clothes get darker. So, naturally, our closets will not be short of black garments of every type; what a wonderful thing that is! Black is such a staple color because it’s by far one of the most flattering looks for every body type, and also goes with everything! Icons as old as Audrey Hepburn and as current as Kim Kardashian are known for their staple all-black outfits. So, as fall creeps closer, why not go all black?
This Fashionista did a fabulous job of taking many black pieces of clothing and pairing them together without painting herself like a chalkboard. She allowed breaks in her outfit to show skin, and included subtle prints to give the outfit some texture. For her main pieces, she wore a black, lace crop top and a pair of Aztec printed shorts. Both of these pieces were a really cool match because their textures differed, but the black base tied them together. For shoes, she wore a pair of black, knee-length gladiator sandals with gold detailing down the front. She also carried a distressed black shoulder bag, which once again added a different black texture to her outfit. Last, but not least, she added some necklaces of different lengths.
Her outfit had a very bohemian feel to it and, while all of her pieces would seem to be too busy for one outfit, she used the power of black to pull it together.
What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “I think black is very flattering, so feel free to use all kinds of pieces that would normally go with different styles and put them together! After all, black is the new black.”
