STYLE GURU STYLE: Back to Black

For all of the Fashionistas out there, the arrival of fall brings more than just cooler weather and the pumpkin spice latte. Fall also brings some of the best fashion trends and collections of the year. A few of the major trends that have been seen on the runway for this season consist of eclectic looks from rag & bone and Missoni, bohemian vibes from Ralph Lauren and the inspiration for my outfit, all-black ensembles from Alexander Wang.

Alexander Wang’s fall 2015 runway show featured a collection of edgy, head-to-toe black creations. To explain his motive for using only black, Wang simply said, “Our customer wants black, so why not do an all-black collection?” (Style.com). I love that Alexander Wang is considering the people who will be wearing his designs and their preferences. Black has always been an easy and flattering shade to wear, which is why so many people are drawn to it. The best thing about black is that it is perfect for any occasion!

I wanted to apply Wang’s use of black in a casual way for an effortless, yet chic, look that would be perfect for class or a lunch with friends. As a tribute to Wang’s collection, I started out with a black top and black pants. I then added a fun black hat to make the outfit a little more bohemian, which is another major trend this fall. I finished off the look with neutral ankle booties to brighten up the darker look for daytime!

Get My Look: 1. Fall hat. 2. Neutral ankle booties.  3. Interesting black top.
