When one is in all black it is difficult to predict how much the look costs. Most women will agree that black is figure-flattering, it makes the body look slimmer, also keeps the loves handles in check.

If you are wearing all black you never have to worry about matching. Every colour goes well on black, black can be layered endlessly and also camouflage­s any stains. All black flatters every skin tone, so you are guaranteed to definitely look cool. You can go wild with accessorie­s if you want to. Wearing all black is not limited to one type of fabric, you can experiment with crazy fabricsf such as velvet, chiffon or lace.

Black is not boring, it is rather bold and all about making a fashion statement and showing confidence. People who wear black are powerful — plain and simple and they tend to command respect too. It does not mean you have to be in all black everyday but do have fun wearing all black once in a w while. 5 rules for rocking all black 1 Do vary the fabrics and textures. Nothing looks more boring than an allblack outfit that is all cotton. Do wear lace, tweed or silk. Just because it is all black it doesn’t have to be in one fabric. A black lace crop top and black denims can be teamed up with a leather jacket and black sneakers or heels or boots.

2 On the fabric note, make sure the fabric selections is season appropriat­e. A black wool dress will look fab in winter but out of place in summer. Silk and linen make it easier to pull off the all black look during w warmer months.

3 Make your outfit more dressy or casual w with the simple change of lipstick colour. A LBD (little black dress) can go from day with a light pink lipstick to night with a bold, deep red lip seamlessly.

4 When putting together a black on black, fit becomes even more important. Take advantage of the fact that black is slimming and have more fitted and flattering, rather than shapeless and drab.

5 Add interest with accessorie­s. Bold, colourful jewellery becomes the statement piece of your outfit. Coloured stiletto heels are the go-to shoe with any black on black outfit. Gold accessorie­s always work well on black.

Try something different, be bold and wear all black.
