Chic, flattering and timeless, read our fool-proof guide to wearing head to toe black this season.
It’s a universal shade, so you’re already at an advantage when you start putting your outfit together. But how to avoid looking morbid and one dimensional? Balance of shapes and mix of textures are key to making this dark hue effortlessly wearable.
Do
Mix fabrics. Chunky knits look great with leather while lace brings a baroque elegance to any occasion.
Don’t
Forget the rules of washing black clothes. Faded tones never look good (unless intentional) so when you need to give pieces a rinse, choose a cold wash and turn them inside out.
Do
Go for items that have shape, or use a belt to cinch together any baggy silhouettes. Head-to-toe black looks better when you layer fitted and loose cuts together.
Don’t
Forget the classics. A tailored suit or a floor length coat are a sure way to make black work for even the most colour loving stylista.
