Black Fashion

One look at my wardrobe and you can notice immediately that the entire three-quarters of my closet consists of mainly black. And possibly most of them are short sleeved tops and long pants, skirts in different styles. My reasons? Black is a great slimming colour, glamorously cool and I will easily match any outfit for any occasion even when I'm running late. You can never go wrong with black as it will be always in vogue due to its simplicity of style and elegance. Somehow, I decided enough was enough. No more buying blackies!

In the end, I went through a period of buying other colored clothes. I understand there are ways you can look slim and tall wearing other colors. But after sometime, I would go through my closet and often complain about having nothing to wear! Eventually, I’ve gone full circle and back to square one again. I actually feel much comfortable wearing black than any other color.

I came across some goodies which leads me onto sharing my latest object of fanciful desire of the moment. These are the top three of my favourites. Each of the black outfit is delightful on its own. Needless to say, I would need to be much taller and much slimmer for these outfits, but you know a girl can dream! Most of all, it's also a matter of knowing my limits, so I don't dress to irritate. :)

  4. You are right about black clothes. Very good to create illusion of a slimmer body and perfect colour to match with any other colour! : )

  5. I totally understand what you are saying. I think the strategy I follow is to not wear clothes that are too baggy but fit close but not tightly. When I wear baggy stuff I look like a tank regardless of color!

    I like and look good in black, but I do like other neutrals as well, especially creamy white and navy blue.

    I love black and feel best in it.I even like all black outfits, as long as there is a lot of different textures and at least one non-black accessory involved.

  9. Julia,
    i guess it has a lot to do with proportion and balance, so I generally strive to work on that when playing with colours. some items look better in black than in any other colour.

  11. Like you, I prefer black for all those reasons too.

    My favourite color is green, but my wardrobe consists mostly of brown and black. Very boring, kan? :)

    i think Asian women look particularly good in black. Their black hair, black eyes and fair skin seem to really make the colour work.

  19. the second dress is so lovely (i want it!!!)

    Same reasons as yours...i also came to that point,my closet looks dark because most of my shirts are black most esp my teen age but i have more colors now, it makes me look younger.

    black is a good wardrobe staple. I mostly wear black in the form of black pants or skirts for work. I try to wear brighter tops or add a pop of color with shoes or accessories.
