Black is beautiful they say, looking at these pictures i will agree! A fan of neutrals but more of the other neutrals i.e white, grey and nude, black is fine and i love but do not gravitate towards it as such for clothes, for accessories yes, anyways it is the strongest and the truest neutral of all, many of us are die hard fans and for obvious reasons black takes a good size in every girls wardrobe. Summers are here and that means gorgeous dresses, skirts, playsuits and the likes and why can't you wear them in the colour that you love so much!!! Of course you can just follow these simple tips to make your black summer appropriate.
- Choose one in lightweight breathable fabric like cotton, even though the black colour attracts heat since the fabric is weather appropriate you will stay comfy.
- Cutouts and mesh, like my fishnet dress in todays look are airy and keep the ventilation going.
- Wear fun bags and i have to say the Cath Kidston bags are made for all the summer feelings, gorgeous florals and fun prints scream spring summer. From bag packs to slings to shoulder bags to totes to cross body to wallets to clutches they have it all. This painted Pansies bag can be worn as a cross body as well as an evening clutch sans the strap and i am all in for things that serve me in a number of ways. Even though you are wearing black the pop of gorgeous print makes you look dressed for summer.
- Shoes are important and mules/ slides should be your choice this year.
- Since you love black so much wear ur black top but with a colour or printed bottom. Summery culottes and shorts are good options. I think with shorts and culottes you can get away with an all black look too.
- Wear you hair in a braid. My hair is mostly in a braid all year long but braids have a very summery vibe. Obviously when its hot and sweaty you don’t want ur hair everywhere. This fishtail side braid literally takes about 5 mins, i know i am quite practiced but even for beginners should not be tough. Plus it gives a boho vibe which also adds to the summer feelings.
What i wore- Bag- CATH KIDSTON, Dress- BOOHOO (currently at 50%dis), Mules- ASOS

This blog post was made for me! I've always loved black and white clothing and have recently been assessing my wardrobe and realised I have a LOT of both. You make a good point about wearing a fun and I love Cath Kidston. I like wearing my hair in a braid too. Unfortunately I got my hair cut a few weeks ago and now the layers fall out a bit but hopefully I'll be rocking braids again soon. Have a lovely week beautiful! xxx

I wear black all year round so it's nice to see others trying to encourage the use of black in fashion during summer. Absolutely love Cath Kidston bags I have a few myself.
ReplyDeleteSome great tips here. I wear so much black and often add splashes of colour with handbags & jewellery to brighten things up a bit. x
ReplyDeleteGreat tips i like wearing black and have tried staying away from it during the summer months. I'll definitely look out for blsvk in light weight and breathable material so that I can wear the color in warmer weather.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute little dress?! I love the fishnet details! You look so fabulous!

ReplyDeleteBlack is definitely a perfect color to wear when you feel like you have nothing to wear, or when you feel a little heavy or bigger than your normal size. That's just me! ;) I just think that black is such a slimming color. lol ;) Love this dress on you, by the way!

You are so stunning! I want to look like you! I have no style whatsoever. Dressing up for me is wearing a shirt that I haven't worn in a while lol. You should come style me.
