We’ll show you how to dress in black during the summer. Summer is synonymous with colour–the richness of the oceans, the brightness of the sky, and the golden hues at sunset. For some people, particularly those who are artists, wearing black during the summer feels as natural as wearing a floral dress. What is the secret to wearing black in summer? Experimenting with fabrics, textures and silhouettes.
Wearing black in summer doesn’t mean that you are ignoring all the best of the season. You’re going monochromatic, not the other way around. At the weekend, replace your white poplin with a black skirt from Aritzia. It looks great paired with an embroidered blouse and raffia bag. How can you toughen up the essentials that you use for lavish vacations and beach trips? It’s easy–eschew printed sarongs, natural-coloured straw hats, and bikini sets in favour of black alternatives. You can incorporate the no-colour colour into your wardrobe this season, whether you are planning a date night on Friday or a busy weekday. Here are seven outfits for summer that are all black.
Picnic at the Park
An easy way to elevate your casual outfit is with a fitted tank from Flore Flore, particularly one in black. Pull-on pants from Mango are also a great option. Designer accessories from Toteme or The Row can enhance the look.
Weekend Warrior
Combine the summer’s most desired textures in a single look to capture the essence of this season. For effortless off-duty style, combine embroidered lace with linen, raffia, and a jelly shoe.
Working Gal
In the office, replace your wool blazer with a black shirt (oversized) from Skall Studio. Bermuda shorts are also a great option. Mango. Dragon Diffusion’s woven Japan bag will fit a laptop, wallet and keys.
Au Revoir
When the warmer weather finally arrives, we can all start planning a vacation. Wearing all black on the beach will give you a mysterious air.
Business Casual
The business codes of old have evolved a lot. Alex Mill’s cinched-waist linen blazer, with matching pants, is perfect for work or dinner afterwards.
Date night
Accessorize your date-night look with silver-embellished accessories. Rohe’s maxidress with an off-the-shoulder is the perfect foundation. You can pair it with anything. Beaded bucket bags and kitten-heel strappy sandals add whimsy to your look.
Pilates Princess
It’s time for Hot Girl Walks and Reformer Classes in the morning, as well as weekends spent relaxing with a Soundbath. Wear all-black on your way to the studio, with biker shorts and a strappy sports bra. Accessorize with Loulou’s cardigan.
