Let’s Talk About Black!

Anybody and everybody knows that black is always a go-to color. Not only can you wear and pair anything with black, but it's also a color that can bring out confidence. Black is considered more of a shade than a color because black is the absence of color. In fashion, wearing black is like a blank canvas in which you can start designing anything to go with it. Whether you're wearing your favorite black bottoms or your go-to black scarf, there are endless possibilities of styling you can have.

Black Bottoms

We all have our favorite pair of black bottoms that we go to. Styling an outfit with a black bottom is fun because of the many ways you can accessorize it and pair it with a nice top or overcoat. Black bottoms are versatile in anything from comfy casual to business casual. The ripped black jean look is always a go-to casual look but adds an edge to what you're wearing. But even your basic black jeans can be turned into a business casual look with a simple blazer or button-down. Even wearing your 'professional" or "work" bottoms that can be styled with your preferred t-shirt can elevate your ensemble into something new and trendy.

Have you ever had too many tops but always go to whatever is black? There are new designs to tops nowadays that you just want them all! Having any kind of black top can elevate your look regardless of whether it's a simple spaghetti strap, a black t-shirt (graphic or plain, either are great options) off the shoulder, long sleeve, or turtleneck. There are endless options for styling them based on their cut, length, sheer or thickness, size, and more. The black top can also play as an accessory to the rest of the ensemble. It can be styled with an outerwear garment, tucked into your bottoms; depending on the cut, it can also showcase a fashionable necklace or scarf. The possibility of finding a new style suited for you is as simple as starting with a black top. 

Black Shoes

Heels, boots, sandals, sneakers, oh my! Shoes are an essential part of an ensemble. We've seen in previous trends that wearing your comfiest sweatpants but worn with your favorite stiletto boot is a popular style. Stylists nowadays say that the first part of forming their outfits is deciding what shoes they want to wear. Even if you have a personal style and want to switch it up, trying a new pair of shoes will work. Again, with black being worn with anything, black shoes can be found in any shoe style with a plethora of patterns, textures, shapes, and more. If you're in the mood for wearing your designer sneakers or a slip-on flat, black shoes can both help elevate but also not take away from the rest of your ensemble. It's like having that one thing you know can't go wrong.

Black Accessories

An accessory is more than just your favorite hoops, rings, necklaces, and more. The way you style your hair, paint your nails, what bag you wear, and a multitude more are all important accessories. One thing about a black accessory is that wearing it gives you so much confidence and mental wealth that you'll be unstoppable. An example is a black bag. Big or small, wide or slim, strap or not, a black bag can help elevate a look to the next level even if it stays tucked under your arm or by your hip. The many designs a black accessory can have in shapes and patterns provide a continual selection of ways to decorate your outfit. A perfect example is a black bag.

Once you go black, you can't go back, and that's a fact! Whether it be a black scarf you wear around your neck, a plain or decorated black top, sunglasses on your head in place of a headband, or your favorite black ripped jeans, having a black article of clothing is a perfect way to add extra pizazz in your attire. If your outfit is all black or you add a piece of black clothing, what you wear will still be flawless. There are countless ways to style yourself in anything black because of its versatility and abundance of designs that you can find in it. The main thing is to stay confident in what you wear and how you wear it!
