Back to Black

We are creatures of habit. And after coming out of what left like a very long, very cold winter, our wardrobes fully reflect that. Take one peek into our closet, and a sea of black clothing will wash over you.
But just because the weather has taken a warmer turn doesn't mean we're ready to give up our favorite black pieces for the season. It's not that we don’t like this season's pops of neon, but we tend to lean towards the moody, noir hue because it leaves us with that 'cool girl' effortlessness (not to mention it holds amazing slimming capabilities).
And though the thought of wearing dark clothes in the in warmer months probably fills most with sweaty dread—hear us out...because if we learned anything from the Spring runways, it's that black can be totally spring (and summer) worthy.
Essentially, it's all about wearing the right fabrics. Anything too heavy or clingy is going to make you look (and feel) uncomfortable. Opt for cotton, linen, or anything gauzy and breezy. Leather is pretty much a no-go (you don't want to end up in a leather pants situation à la Ross Geller, after all). And, don't forget to finish off your inky ensemble with some black shades and an of-the-moment handbag (may we suggest checking out Roztayger for some of our current faves?).
