Summer is full of colorful hues that you can finally wear after a chilly Winter. Sometimes our Summer brights cause us to neglect a staple to our wardrobe...your black basics! Your black pieces are designed to be a girl's best friend and an essential part of your decor for every season! Summer swirls, prints and polka dots are a perfect combination with your basic bottom. Using black when planning an outfit can open a door of fashion possibilities.
Black Bottom - A black skirt can go far beyond just officewear. Think outside the box, like putting a neon silk top with your skirt or try a bright pattern or print on top. When having black as your base, you are able to break up any busy pattern. It also allows you to go a little more daring with color. The color can be in your top or even your shoes. This is the chance to wear the yellow pumps you've been apprehensive about!
Black Top - Black is a slimming color, so if you're top heavy, this can be a simple solution. It is also a solution if you have some unwanted excess skin in your belly area. The black is able to hide what might not be your best asset. You can think of this in the reverse way of when you wear black on the bottom. Tuck your black blouse into a pair of shiny gold shorts or a solid colorful high waisted skirt. The basic on the bottom also creates an opportunity to play and go crazy with your accessories! Try peacock feather earrings as a hot trend!
Black Pump - Many offices require some sort of black shoe for women at work. Opt for the sexy peep toe or a slight pop of color on the heel. Black heels also work well for the less than casual dinner party you may be attending. Slip on your classics when wearing neutral shades and tones. A pair of black heels can keep your summer look classy, crisp, and pulled together!
The LBD or LBR - Possibly the simplest of the summer looks to pull of is your ever faithful little black dress. The most recent and updated version of the LBD has become the LBR. Little Black Romper! Either of these can be paired with bright jewelry such as emerald tones. Another way to slightly add color is by wrapping a skinny bright belt around either the LBD or the LBR.
A few tips: 1. When wearing black, stay away from bright makeup. Choose tones that match your skin tone and don't go overboard. A pastel shade of lipstick or gloss will work well. 2. Another way to bring in color when wearing black is to accessorize with nail polish! Try neon yellow or blue to show your bold side!
