Very simply. From head to toe!
I won't waffle on here, and I'll reveal right at the start that this colour stands out perfectly on its own, without any embellishment. It is sophisticated, timeless, universal, slimming and suits almost all women, apart from ladies aged 50+. It's no coincidence that most people from the fashion industry love black and wear it every day. They know about its incredible magic.
When I really don't know what to wear, I always reach for black. It looks good by day and by night. A timeless black coat, a black polo neck and a black sheath dress are the absolute foundation of every lady's wardrobe. During the day you can wear a shirt or polo neck under the dress to work, with thicker tights, and in the evening, with a nice piece of jewellery, you will shine in it at any party, at the theatre or on a date. Don't forget black accessories too, such as scarves, hats or glasses. Many ladies tend to break up a black outfit with another colour (most often a white shirt) and then they look like clerks, waitresses or ordinary bank employees. A very simple piece of advice from me: leave black as black, and when you decide on it, make your outfit black from head to toe. What matters, though, is that the individual pieces are made of different materials! Then black stands out precisely thanks to the varied sheens of leather, wool, fur, satin or lace. For today's illustration I chose a black woollen polo-neck maxi dress and over it a short biker fur jacket from the sale at Reserved. It is, of course, faux. The black suede boots are from CCC on a friendly and reasonable heel, and with them my favourite oversized Céline sunglasses. I deliberately didn't photograph an outfit with a black coat or a black suit with a polo neck, because you can put those together yourselves. I wanted to illustrate with this outfit that even seemingly mismatched pieces go together brilliantly as long as they are all black and made of different materials.
If you really feel a compulsive need to add something white to the black, choose an accessory, not a piece of clothing. As an example I used a black-and-white Givenchy scarf, which I belted with a belt, and that created quite an interesting detail on the dress. I can also imagine a white hat or handbag with a black outfit. In such an outfit nobody will doubt your fashion "knowledge", unlike when you choose a white shirt or T-shirt under a black blazer. I believe that every woman can find the courage for this very simple glamorous black look.
