| In the absence of colour- daring fabrics, silhouettes, and surface treatments add intrigue to the all-black ensemble, making it anything but safe. |
However an all-black ensemble is anything but boring. Black is fierce, bold and alluring. Stella Mc Cartney showcased all black ensembles in her autumn/winter 2012 collection.New Look’s winter collection accentuates black with a rugged edgy look, teaming a highwaisted skirt with a black lace shirt and accessorizing with a tough gold necklace.

Texture it up
One key element to wearing all black, and not getting lost within the magnitude of black, is by breaking up textures. Make sure you wear different materials of black within the outfit. This will help create dimension and contrast within the outfit. Pair skinny black trousers with this season’s must have, frilly top. Accessorize the look with stilettos and a studded clutch bag for an edgy style.

Mix
up your proportions
An
easy and powerful way to show off the different elements of each piece of
clothing is by mixing up proportions. When you wear one item of slim clothing
with a fuller clothing item and combine them together, you instantly form
distinct depth perception within the outfit. This creates interest and
variability while making it obvious that your outfit is composed of different
layers of black apparel.
Show
off some skin

You
can still remain elegant and ladylike in a knee-length black dress whilst
showing off your pins. For a dramatic contrast pair a chic dress with studded
ankle boots.

Use
a simple and powerful accessory
You
can still look fierce without wearing black head to toe. Incorporate elements
of black into your outfit. You can do this by wearing jewellery, black heels or
even a fun embellished handbag.
