Everybody can wear an all-black outfit.

The right all black outfits can bring out an elegant, street like, casual, and formal look depending on the occasion. Some people find it easy to style an all black outfit while others struggle.

Below are the basic factors you should know as you style a black outfit.

Have the clothes fit you

It highly depends on your body shape, so opt for clothes that highlight the parts of your body you desire to do so.

Opt for different fabrics

This adds more texture to the look and creates a contrast. You can pair wool and leather fabrics together to pull an all black outfit.

However, you can use pieces of the same fabric to create a cohesive look.

Consider the weather

Choose a lighter outfit for a sunny day, and a heavy outfit for when it’s cold.

For example, a turtle neck can work when it’s cold, but a tank top with a light cardigan will do when it’s sunny.

Accessorize

Use belts, the right jewellery, and shoes to complete your look.
