One thing fashionistas agree about for this summer is how black is back. No, not in time for winter, but for this summer season. First of all, it’s not summer unless you have a few trips planned. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a week-long vacation or even more, you have to take into consideration that it’s a lot more convenient to travel light. There are less fees, it’s easier to get to the hotel and back to the airport and you feel less guilty when you buy new clothes at your vacation hotspot. That’s why it’s incredibly convenient to pick up black pieces – you can mix and match them with endless options. Key pieces that are infinitely useful are black pants, shorts, tops and accessories like sunglasses or the Goldie Mini Leather bag in black.
In case you haven’t already noticed, black and white cutout dresses and lace tops, skirts are all the rage. This is true for festival attire, casual looks and even celebrity red carpets. Instead of plunging necklines and nearly naked clothing, it’s de rigeour to flash tiny bits of skin instead. It’s still a little racy without being overtly over the top.
Another good thing about monochrome outfits is how simple it is to make a statement by adding another color, especially if it’s bright. An all-pink outfit may look ridiculous, but when it’s just a bright pink bag with all white clothes, it’s a soft and feminine look. Anyone can pull this off. It may not be bold but it sure is beautiful.
So what does a girl do when she’s had her fill of summer concerts, neons and florals? She takes inspiration from the 90s and throws on a simple little black dress. Even without Kate Moss’s legs, you can rock a slimming number like this one. Add a bit of hard rock edge with a studded bracelet and glam it up with a tartan Ingrid Quilted Small Canvas bag. If you’re going to summer festivals and concerts, this kind of cross-body bag is the best bet for looking chic without getting pick-pocketed or having your purse snatched. Accessorize with a pop of red lipstick and lapis lazuli gemstones!
