Plain black is a versatile colour that makes you look good and lets you try out different styles. That’s why I, like many other women, always go for plain black. More often than not, black is a part of my daily ensemble – irrespective of whether I’m going to work, a party, a romantic dinner or even a casual outing.
Black also gives a sophisticated look that most other colours fail to. This is a big plus, as this aspect lets you confidently wear black to any official or formal event. Another key reason why so many women go for plain black is because it looks stylish – especially as a well-made dress. I have realized that black rarely lets you down. It goes well with everything – well, almost.
One of my favourite garments in my cupboard is the little black dress (LBD). The colour lets you spice it up or play it down any way you want to. If you want to achieve the former, you can wear bright or solid coloured – like purple or orange – shoes and carry a bag of the same colour. They will stand out beautifully against the black.
To beat the cold and still look stunning, you can team the little black dress with a vibrant jacket and bracelets. If you want to look demure and elegant, you can go for a recreation of Audrey Hepburn’s classic look in Breakfast at Tiffany’s with layers of pearls, a pair of large sun-glasses (during daytime) and stilettos. You can wear this look when you go for a formal party or dinner.
