BLACK IS THE NEW BLACK



Claimed as a staple, 'never-go-out-of-fashion-color', black is officially back (if indeed it ever went anywhere!)Black is often a default for many and seen as the 'safe' or 'go with anything' option, but the honest truth is black does not actually suit everyone.  Tread carefully if your coloring is softer or you have less contrast in your features between your eyes and skin or skin and hair color.  For you ladies, your black may be a soft brown, navy or even grey which will still work as a 'safe go-to', but will sit less harshly against your skin tone.  Believe me it works!  I've honestly seen color take or age people by ten years!  To embrace the new black trend, if it is too heavy for you head-to-toe, opt for a great cut pair of black pants or a statement heel or purse, so it does not dominate your entire outfit.   Black can be a great basis to a killer outfit as much as a statement in itself, when worn head-to-toe.  
Every season, we hear talk of the latest color we should be wearing to keep things on-trend and certain colors look and feel more 'now'.  You may never have even thought of
black as being in OR out, well this season, black is key in the tempo of what to go for. 



For those of you who can sport the head-to-toe black look, this is the season for you.  That doesn't mean it has to be boring or predictable, just because it's a plain, neutral color.  With a little clever styling, you can ensure your outfit kicks it even if it is all black!
Key staples which will remain timeless in any wardrobe include:

A great pair of well-fitting leather skinnies (try Zara for their great wax coated versions in all colors too!) and team with chunky knits fo a great day time look!

Leather skater skirt - an easy way of combining girly with edge and cute with heels or booties!

Accessories - a black purse will remain timeless and a lifetime investment, as will a great pair of black ankle boors.  Both featured here are under $100 and from our fav, Zara!  So very now are the pointed courts and these will really bring your look to 'of-the-moment' in an instant whether teamed with jeans and a tee or a classic LBD!

Boyfriend Blazer - forever a staple and in black it is sure to go with anything and everything!

Vintage tee - a cute collegiate tee is a great seasonal update and works well in black layered under shirts, blazers or teamed with leather skinnies!
