Is black the number one go-to color in your wardrobe?
Do you wear black because you prefer how it looks or…
You have and wear a lot of black because it gives you an added boost of body confidence?
I was at an event last week and spoke with a woman who was frustrated about wearing black in warm weather. She talked about how she didn’t like wearing a black dress yet again to another event but clung to it so that she could feel more comfortable about her body.
I shared a few tips about how to lighten the look for summer and told her I thought many women felt the same way. She was the inspiration for this blog.
When it’s time to shop your closet for an event, it’s hot outside and you don’t have many choices other than black, here are a few ideas about how to lighten the look and feel more in step with the season.
Add Turquoise Jewelry
Turquoise is the iconic color of summer. Black is a dramatic canvas to add a splash of turquoise for a sophisticated summer look.
Add White
Black and white is a classic and stunning combination, it works for any occasion. When adding white to black, it will add lightness to black and give a boost of chic style.
Go Sleeveless
Many women want to avoid showing their bare arms. However, if you can find a way to feel comfortable and confident without feeling self-conscious, sleeveless black outfits look perfectly appropriate in warmer weather.
Add a Bright Summer Scarf
When black is the dominant color, a bright summer scarf brings a unique, creative flair to your outfit and instantly looks like summer.
Wear Open Toe Shoes
Open shoes lighten the overall look of your outfit. You can also bring in a pop of color to your shoes to give it even more of an eye-catching, fun summer look!
