5 great black outfits for winter
BLACK Friday?
We love black everyday!
Buy less. Buy wise. buy black.
The best way to save money isn't in a Black Friday sale. I mean how much more do we need? Isn't it much better to buy less and use it more? That's definitely the case when it comes to our wardrobes. Black has to be your go to on this one. You don't have to be a black fanatic to know just how much wear you can get from this colour. It matches everything; you don't see marks (quickly), it's slimming and should rhyme with chic. To avoid black overload, you just need to add something to brighten things up a little, like jewellery. With the help of a few pieces from our favourite brands, here's a little inspiration for your black wardrobe. But you may already have black building blocks for this in your own wardrobe already. Worth digging?
BLACK - smarten it
boots - Dear Francis
skirt, jacket, cardigan - COS
jewellery - Lily Gardner London
You could mix any of these smart black pieces with colourful extras. If you're smart though, black on black looks very stylish. Use black textures and shapes together. This group gives a slim silhouette and even with the boxy jacket you will still appear willowy. Because the outfit is plain it can take a pair of gold detailed earrings like these.
BLACK - COOL IT
jumper - COS
trousers - Karen Millen
boots - Dear Francis
belt - Anderson's
jewellery - Lily Gardner London
Nicely shaped trousers give this outfit a real hipness. The boat neck and heeled boots has a 60s feel about it too. The long jumper covers anything you want to but a low slung belt is good 'peeping' detail. Our plain gold textured half hoop earrings will help seal the deal. Super chilled.
BLACK - style IT
jacket, dress - COS
boots - Tod's
jewellery - Lily Gardner London
Nothing like a black net dress matched with chunky jacket and flat boots to be super styled. We would team the whole group with these big matt gold hoop earrings. Feels very London. Very stylish.
BLACK - Wrap IT
coat - COS
bag - Danse Lante
boots - Aquazzura
jewellery - Lily Gardner London
Wrap up for the coldest days with a long black coat like this. Add above-the-knee shiny leather pointy boots. Bring a bit of glamour in with the gold. Perhaps gold detail on a geometric shaped bag? And gold earrings up near the face for light and warmth. We've chosen our double gold circle earrings for impact. They're great for every day wear too.
BLACK - Dress it
dress - Boss
boots - Aquazzura
jewellery - Lily Gardner London
Every wardrobe and girl needs one. The LBD. This begs to be worn for Christmas drinks or dinner or somewhere special. We love the line - almost skater dress feel? The pointy high heeled boots are super sexy. All make a perfect foil for our stunning contemporary lace jewellery - featuring lace still made on 19th century French looms.
