The Style: Classic
You pay attention to quality pieces and your closet is nothing if not made up of staples you'll own for years to come (and those you've had around for just as long). Whether it's your black blazer, ankle boots or pencil skirt, you stick to the classics when it comes to wearing head-to-toe black.
Staple pieces at work: a black moto jacket and black ankle boots make an effortlessly stylish pair.
Classic pieces need not come across as boring, either. For a forward feel, wear loafers with socks and throw on a retro headband to complete the look.
When sticking with classic pieces, let your accessories do the talking.
Sleek, simple, and timeless.
