6 All-Black Outfits You'll Wish You Were Wearing Right Now
Whoever says black is boring is lacking imagination. Mind you, I’m biased since all black is my go-to for pretty much every occasion in life.
The key is to play with contrasting textures to give an all-black outfit the dimension it craves. Think, shiny patent leathers, cotton, gabardine wools, velvet, faux-croc, lambskin leather, chunky knits, silks, lace, you get the point.
While you’re there, play around with your accessories as well. A grommet leather belt like the one Maja Wyh is wearing below will break up a pair of black jeans and a black t-shirt. A strappy leather sandal will look amazing with a midi-cargo skirt and ribbed tube top like seen on Pernille Teisbaek. Add some sleek sunglasses, gold jewelry, and a little Prada handbag, and you’re set.
Black On Black Outfit Ideas
1// CASUAL ALL BLACK
Maja Wyh wearing black jeans with a leather grommet belt, topped off classic black double breasted blazer with brass buttons. Pay attention to the small details to make an all black outfit come to life.
2// ROCK ALL BLACK TO YOUR NEXT MEETING
Mary Kate Olsen wears a silk blouse that happens to be causally open, which so perfectly shows off her gold chain. It seems like she’s wearing a silk jacket over top. She opts for gabardine wool trousers in a wide leg cut that gives her a sophisticated air. I love the addition of the aviator glasses that say , “Don’t mess with me.”
3 & 4 // WEAR HEAD TO TOE BLACK LIKE A FASHION GIRL
Yoyo Cao and Pernille Teisbaek wear all black during Milan Fashion week. Yoyo rocks the Prada combat boots which turned the fashion world upside down at the end of 2019. I love how she pairs them with a black utility inspired trench with not one, but two belts! Genius!
Pernille wears a utility inspired midi skirt, contrasting it with a feminine tube top. I love the delicate heels she’s wearing in contrast to the boxy Prada bag and large gold chain. It’s all about the subtle balance and contrast with her.
5// THE DATE NIGHT LOOK
Nothing says date night like a beautiful shoe. Here, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley wears her leather cross-over sandals with a gold ankle bracelet. (Why do I have the feeling these are making a comeback?)
Her pleated trousers show off her waist, while her blouse gives the outfit a playful quality, even though it’s cut high at the neck.
Opt for a blouse with voluminous sleeves if you want to take your outfit to another level. Big sleeves lend a romantic characteristic to an outfit, plus, they’ll be a HUGE trend in 2020.
