STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Black Is Black

July 23rd, 2015 at 2:00am

Often, one does not think of black when they think of summer, but in all honesty, black never goes out of style. The simplicity of this edgy and put together look is summer ready thanks to this Fashionista’s fun accessories.

Black bottoms are the most versatile item anyone could own and can be transitioned to look brand new time and time again. Some staples that should be added to the top of your shopping list if you don’t yet own them: black shorts, a little black skirt and black bikini bottoms. These all make mixing and matching a breeze and will help minimize your wardrobe for warmer weather. One more thing to take into consideration is that since there is a large selection of black bottoms, take the time to pick the cut and style that really emulates your look and will likely last you for years to come.

Since black bottoms are such a basic starting point, look to this Fashionista for taking this staple from boring to edgy. She started the look with a bright free flowing blouse, welcoming the cool breeze instead of the summer heat. She then paired this with classic black shorts in order to keep the outfit neutral and streamlined. But her accessories were the real statement of this outfit. Her edgy black boots give the outfit an extra kick that takes her look to another Fashionista level. In order to keep it all balanced, she rocked girly pops of color, such as her orange earrings.

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “Black can be worn anytime of the year, so don’t shy away, and look for ways to incorporate it in new and interesting ways. Oh, and boots are also not seasonal—try them with a feminine dress to give it that extra unexpected edge.”
