The best thing about wearing black is that it never goes out of style. The color is also known for its slimming effect, but pulling together a black outfit isn't always simple when going monochromatic could be boring. Below are some tips to make your black wardrobe more interesting:
1) Have the right pieces. Pick out the basics, as simplicity always works better when achieving a classic and classy appeal. These include black long sleeves, black jersey, quality tights or leggings, black jeans or slacks. However, you should also invest in black clothes for power dressing, like the classic LBD (little black dress), a tailored suit, a handbag and a pair of good heels.
2) Accentuate your outfit with a belt. Belts help define the waist, which will slim down your figure even more, according to Who What Wear.
3) Make interesting accessories choices. This will bring color and texture to what you're wearing. Don't limit yourself to jewelry or statement pieces as you can also accessories and pump up a black outfit with colored stiletto heels, The Huffington Post notes.
4) Pick clothes with the right cut and proportion. Black will look more interesting if your clothes have structure. Balance the way you match an outfit, too, according to Chic Street Journal. If you're wearing a loose black top, complement this with dark skinny jeans.
5) Add layer and contrast by playing up fabrics. Layering makes black outfits more beautiful, Refinery29 notes. Black silk tops paired with cashmere coats, or pleated skirt punctuated with sneakers? Gorgeous.
