STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Black on Black on Black

Style Advice of the Week

When it comes to the ultimate classic Fashion piece, there’s nothing like the little black dress. It’s sleek and sexy in its simple call to attention, and its dark hue taunts mysteriousness. Unfortunately, the LBD can be hard to wear as an everyday style, especially as a college student. So why not bring the LBD to a new level with an all black look? You can incorporate this into your every day style and rock a black-on-black look like this Fashionista did.

My eyes immediately found this Fashionista walking around campus in her black-on-black ensemble. She exudes sophistication and taste in this sleek, all black get-up. She dons a high-low maxi skirt with a loose, open-back tank tucked in. I love how she adds a little pop to her black-out style with a diminished white print in her skirt. It gives the black just the bit of attention it needs. Although her main pieces are black and subtle, she adds some pops of neutral color in her accessories. With a tan leather Michael Kors satchel, a gold Michael Kors watch and an opal bangle, this Fashionista adds just the right amount of extras to her dark and dangerous look, ready to take on that So-Cal sunshine with a little bad-girl gone glam flair.

All black looks can be sharp and sexy when done right. This style is extremely versatile and gives any good girl a little edge to her look—great for changing up your style with some attitude. Don’t be afraid to combine textures and fabrics when working this look. Incorporating black pieces with different textures and materials will make sure your outfit doesn’t get washed out while creating a great contrast in the look. To play up different textures, try rocking a pair of high-waist leather shorts with a chunky, black knit sweater. Black booties and a floppy hat would be a great touch to the outfit. Another fun look to try is leggings and a silk tunic, paired with heeled over-the-knee boots and a black suede jacket or leather coat. Black over-size sunglasses are always a fabulous touch to top off any outfit.

Also, be bold with your accessories. With the core of the look already being so dark, it’s fun to play with some color with jewelry or scarves. One little pop of color can really spice up an entire outfit. It’s a great opportunity to sport a funky accessory you can’t always wear on the regular. Fashionistas, don't be shy with this daring look–black out!
