In Defense of Wearing All-Black

A list of reasons explaining why black is the best color.

First of all, black is glamorous.

Classic. Elegant. Permanently chic. We’ve all heard the phrase, “black goes with everything” but it’s so much more than that. It’s boldness sets it apart from other neutrals. Black may go with everything, but it doesn’t fade into the background in the same way a beige or navy might.

Secondly, black send a message.

Ever heard of “the man in black”? Legendary musician Johnny Cash understood why wearing all black, all of the time makes a bigger statement about the world we live in.

Thirdly, black is flattering.

It’s not just that it’s slimming. It also provides deep contrast. Whatever your skin tone, it shines when draped against a black backdrop.

For example, decorating your neck with a black lace collar will elongate it and add intriguing definition.

Mysterious and cool, edgy and romantic: black does it all.

So whether you’re opting for a top-to bottom ensemble, or simply perusing accessories to accentuate your look: going with black works every. single. time.

If anyone is giving you a hard time about wearing all black [insert funeral jokes here] – send them here. Maybe these people can learn a thing or two about (a) mind their own business and (b) leaving people to love the things they love.

We like what we like, darling. And a sense of style that’s just a bit twisted is the best kind.
