I own too much black clothing” – Said no one, ever.
Never get it twisted, black is – and has always been – the new black. Fashion trends may come and go, but classic, chic and always appropriate, black makes a statement of confidence like no other. Whether you’re rocking your trusty ol’ LBD or serving sophistication in a pantsuit, black is the way to go. Here are a few ideas how to dress in black.
The LBD
Like a signature scent, every girl needs to own at least one little black dress – preferably one that flatters the curves. As a closet staple, the LBD is your best friend. It is reliable, versatile and easy to style and guaranteed to always be in fashion. Whether you have a hot date lined up or a fun night in town with the girls, the LBD delivers.
The Black Shirt
Most women will testify that the only thing better than a man in a crisp white shirt is a man wearing a fitted black shirt. Enigmatic and classy, the black shirt boasts an air of confidence like no other. Pair it with black slacks or denims and keep your accessories minimal for a dapper finish.
The Black Skinny Jeans
Transform your casual look into a sophisticated one by opting for black skinnies instead of blue. Offering a slimming effect, black skinnies elongate your legs helping you to appear taller. Ripped black skinnies are edgy and on-trend, but you truly can’t go wrong with a plain pair. Style them with a brand tee for casual flair and complete the look with statement sneakers for men, or block heeled boots for women.
The Statement Black Jacket
All fashion fundis maintain that a statement jacket is essential to every outfit. Biker, blazer or bomber, the statement jacket is the focal point of your look. Take the iconic blue jeans and white tee duo, for instance, depending on which jacket you pair it with, your overall aesthetic can vary greatly. Modern chic is achieved with the addition of a well-tailored blazer and heeled boots, while an athleisure luxe look comes by way of sneakers and a bomber. The black biker jacket offers edgy appeal so pair it with studded boots and a plaid shirt to complete your look. Don’t be afraid of a little texture and shine like the kind leather, embroidery and print offer, which add a neat finish to plain ensembles.
The Mono Black Sneaker
All-black sneakers have been enjoying an upward run on the fashion circuit thanks to the ‘90s grunge revival. With choices ranging from stylish high-top sneakers to iconic trainers, the mono black sneaker is marker of a true hypebeast.
All Black, Everything
Joining the dark side isn’t all that bad when you realise how easy it is to style black on black. Go all-out sexy in leather, fringe and corsetry like Moozlie or inject a dose of colour and opulence into your look with striking boots and accessories like DJ Lamiez Holworthy did at our official #UNRESTRICTED launch party. With black, the possibilities are endless!
