The cyclical world called “Fashion”.
Trends come and go and everyone jumps on the current band wagon only to jump out the moment the next new thing comes.
What exactly am I going on about? Why, the “all-black” ensemble that is making rounds all over the fashion blogosphere. Surely, I am not the only one that noticed that the mood around has significantly darkened right?
Yes! You guessed right, Black is so back!
It seems like just the other day when everyone and everyone was donning an all white outfit but right now its black. Even I myself have done a couple of all black looks ( here , here, and here), although black for me is a colour that can never go out of trend. If i could be any colour, I’ll easily pick black.
This trend comes with the tendency to look a bit “boring”. So how do you spice it up to make it look anything but safe? Not to worry, I’ve got you covered!
Here I’ll be sharing some tips on adding intrigue to the all black ensemble using fellow bloggers as inspiration
Lets dig in!
TIP ONE – Its all in the accessories!
Especially hats! Unfortunately I couldn’t find so many pictures of that but trust me a good wide brimmed hat or fedora will totally rock. Also bold neck chains, quirky sunshades and rings.

TIP TWO – Mix proportions!
It gives it a bit more edge.
TIP THREE – Put a little quirk in it!
How about spicing things up a bit. Wear socks with your shoes, studded gloves, ripped denim, cut outs! You get my drift.
They all look so pretty, i like you on the double slit skirt

Loving the all black look especially during this rainy season when 'closet-laziness' just sort of creeps in. This post will sooo go a long way.

Great sources of inspiration, Cassandra. Black never has to be boring. It is all about mixing textures for me and adding some edgy accessories. Great post.
