The colour black is always in vogue, regardless of the fashion season or where you are in the world. Trends may come and go, but black is always in style, or so it seems. The colour is constantly in the shops, and on the catwalk, all year. It is a prominent colour in the wardrobe of most fashion conscious men and women. Many fashion bloggers, fashion designers and style icons like Victoria Beckham, Rachel Zoe, and Audrey Hepburn, are usually seen rocking all black outfits, and who would blame them, black is a very powerful colour.
Dressing in all black is often perceived as a strong, stylish, fashion statement. It is classic and timeless, and the true style queens now how to work it. It takes confidence to wear all black and look good. There is a thin line between wearing all black, and looking stylish, and wearing all black, and looking grumpy.
I love anything black. Monochrome pieces and accessories are also my favourites. I find them versatile, super flattering, and easy to style. I love the fact that I can wear the same classic black dress to the office, to a restaurant and to an event. I attended a bloggers event with Propellernet and Premier Inn last year, and I remember thinking long and hard of what pieces to wear for the 2 day event. I wanted to dress formally, but I didn’t want to stand out too much. It was my first bloggers event and all, so I was going in there blind, not sure what to expect. I just obeyed the fashion golden rule – ‘If in Doubt, Wear Black’, and it worked. I settled on a black fitted Next dress for the first day, and a black Next top and skirt for the second day (Yes, I love Next), and I looked stylish and chic, but not over the top, which was the look I was going for.
Most of my pieces and accessories are in black. I only started adding some colour to my wardrobe some years ago, there was a time I had only monochrome clothing and accessories, but a bit of colour is required every now and again. Whenever I have an event to attend, and I can’t think of what to wear, I just throw on a black outfit, and it is yet to fail me. If in doubt, just wear black.
Do you agree? Is black a prominent colour in your wardrobe? Drop me a comment, let’s chat.

I totally agree, black is my go to colour because it is so easy to style and you can just add a tiny bit of colour in a jacket, scarf or shoes and you’re good to go x
Yea so true.
I have my staples of black in my wardrobe which we all need and for those if in doubt times. I am able to wear colour as my style is modern quirky and boho. Not everyone would look right in what I wear. I love the statement of mixing colours, though they must look right together. Not but colour for the sake of it. That’s why I am a big fan of Joe Browns clothing
Your style sounds nice Carol x
I am always wearing black, it is one of those colours that works with anything and everything x
Yea so true.
I love wearing black! Over half of the items in my wardrobe are black in color, very easy to pair.

I loved Kendall’s all black outfit and I actually have an event in three weeks time whose theme is black chic! This will definitely be a challenge for me as my style is normally colourful!
Ha can’t wait to see what you come up with.
I have to admit that I wear a lot of black and it goes with anything
Yea it does Emma x
Hahahah I do this too! I live by the motto ‘I’ll stop wearing black when they invent a darker colour’. I love a full black outfit so chic.
Yea me too.. Thanks Deanna x
I have to admit that I wear a lot of black – I do think it is for me to hide behind though at times. I haven’t the confidence to wear a lot of colours. Kaz x
I shy away from some colours too. Black is universal x
Yes, I agree. Black is fab for all season. You look chic in this one.
Cheers.
Mojisola.

My daughter and I were talking about this the other day. Her wardrobe is almost entirely black and grey!
Black and grey is prominent in my wardrobe too. Thanks Liz x
I wear black nearly every day! Especially black leggings. I do need to start wearing a bit colour now though!
A little bit of colour is always good.
I have to admit I sort of live in black – there is something almost comforting about it for me. x
I do too, kind of x
I love the jeans, I’m really into distressed jeans at the moment
Me too x
The majority or my wardrobe is black. My husband asks why I don’t wear more colour. Because I love black okay!!! Haha
Good answer, lol..
