Back To Black

Just because you’re wearing black, it doesn’t mean that you’re SAD. Black is sexy and slimming and classic. Yes, black is easy enough to wear, it suits almost everyone, but regardless of it being an ‘easy’ colour, there are still some variations that shouldn’t be seen.

1. Never team your black with a bright single colour. Even though you may argue that your black skirt / trouser suit is Prada, the colour will cheapen the black.

1. Don’t go crazy accessorizing your black with more black. I think we all made that mistake during our ‘gothic’ teen years, with our black hair, black lipstick, black nails, black eyeliner, black black black, remember how your parents used to refuse to take you out?

1. Ladies! Never team your black skirt with a white top, you’ll look like a waitress!

Take inspiration from Alexander Wang’s collection for this season, which featured rock chick leather as well as biker boots, shoulder slouch bags and simple pocketed T’s, so as not to over-complicate the whole look. Shop for Alexander Wang at Lane Crawford, or fix up your own Alexander Wang inspired look by picking up your thrifty designer pieces at Yansha market!
