STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Black is the New Black

It’s official: black is the new black. Yes, this staple is back to take its rightful place. It’s about time! I mean, how can you not feel fierce when rocking an all-black ensemble?

I’ve been seeing the “all-black everything” trend quite a bit lately, and for good reason. Not only is black slimming, but wearing black in all elements of an outfit is versatile. With the right accessories, the all black look can go anywhere from chic to gothic. No matter what your personal style is, it’s possible to make this trend work for you. Typically, wearing the same color or pattern repeatedly in an outfit is too “matchy-matchy.” However, pairing black with black just seems to work. It has a certain “je ne sais quoi.”

This Fashionista took the all-black trend and gave it a grungy twist. She paired her black skinny jeans with a dark graphic T-shirt. Her black leather jacket adds a “bad girl” vibe to her look, as do her black boots. Her black bandana adds an extra kick to the outfit. Also, she accessorized with a cross necklace, and she added a touch of red lipstick for a pop of color.

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “Every day, I dress for my mood and for what I’m feeling. For this outfit, I liked the idea of wearing all-black, but I wanted to allow my personality to show through, which is why I added the leather jacket and combat boots. I like the edginess these pieces add to the look.”
