STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Back to Black

Neiman Marcus once said “Women who wear black live colorful lives.” Between internships, summer classes, part time jobs and graduation parties, summer can be an incredibly busy time of year for students. With such hectic schedules, we could all use a great outfit that transitions easily from day to night and nothing does that quite like the color black.

This Fashionista is sporting a cool black peplum leather jacket perfect for taking any look from day to night. A leather jacket is great for any wardrobe and can be layered and paired with anything from shift dresses to a great tailored cigarette trousers.

Her chosen accessory, black leather perforated Vans, is a subtle match to her leather jacket as well as being a chic take on the sneaker for the Fashionista on the go. The fit of her denim shorts are very popular this season with brands like J.Crew forever selling out of them. They can also be dressed up or dressed down depending on the shirt and accessories you decide to pair with them. To break away from this otherwise completely black outfit, this Fashionista is wearing a classic white tee that takes this outfit to the next level by allowing the eye to focus on the peplum detailing of the black leather jacket being worn over it, rather than a busy pattern on a shirt.
