"Sell sex but make it classy" - She Who Conceals
Black is a colour that exudes mystery, class & superiority and if you didn't know, that's the vibe I love to carry in these streets. Period. People tend to associate black to solely being a colour worn in winter and I've come to let you know, that is not always the case. If you get the balance right, wearing all black can be the perfect daytime look that can still turn heads for all the right reasons. Below, I'll be sharing needed tips on how to style black in the summer. Enjoy!
1. Gold Accessories
The secret to elevating an all black look is wearing gold accessories/jewellery. I've come to realise that in the Summer, black mixed with gold accessories is such a complimentary colour palette for melanin beauties. When the sun hits those gold tones, you radiate and glow so effortlessly, you just scream 'EXPENSIVE!'. In my eyes, that is always the goal. To look expensive, if not, throw the whole outfit away.
2. Texture
When you're wearing a monochromatic outfit, playing with different textures/fabric of the same colour can help bring more depth & character to your look. These needed textures help break up the outfit and it becomes visually playful. For today's all black look, I'm sporting jersey, tweed & cotton textures. I find that when I'm able to add texture to my looks, it becomes an effortless outfit that I need it to be.
3. Classy But Nasty
Balancing sex appeal with class is a balance that not many women know how to master. Moreover, getting this ratio right, will help make your all black outfits look more playful & elevated. The key is balancing the areas you want to conceal & the sensual attributes that you want to reveal. Though I go by the name of She Who Conceals, I love being a playful tease and I show that through my style. Having the right balance can mean wearing a midi skirt with a risque high slit or combining a tiny bralette and throwing on an oversized blazer. Balance. When you know how to do this, you can make anything sexy, classy.
An all black outfit is a mood I can't get enough off, when worn correctly, it is the only look you tend to stick to. For more inspiration, scroll below and feed yourself with today's slay. Till next time loves.
