9 Fresh Ways to Wear Black This Spring That Aren't Boring
While I have been experimenting with a bit more color recently, I live in black most of the time. But I get it, the look can seem "boring” for some. That said, if you choose items in black that are forward, and if you play with different textures and silhouettes when creating the outfit, an ensemble made up of pieces in black is anything but standard. And that’s what I’m going to showcase for you right here today.
Below I’m highlighting nine fresh ways you can wear black this spring. In fact, our namesake label, Who What Wear Collection, is actually filled with pieces that can help create these A+ spring looks. I’m talking about It items like an of-the-moment dress, matching set, and sleek skirt.
With all of this in mind, keep scrolling for styling inspiration and shopping recommendations that will help keep your all-black outfits feeling chic and current.
Outfits With a Matching Set
Embrace the layered look if it’s a bit chillier with a coordinating sweater and pants set. A sheer top underneath the sweater brings depth to the look, along with an oversize jacket.
Shop the key piece:
Let a deep-V knit shine with matching knit trousers. A pair of pointed pumps and sleek black accessories take the look to the next level.
Need a comfy all-black outfit for travel or lounging? Don’t underestimate the power of the matching set alone with your favorite sneakers.
If you are looking to add another neutral hue to your all-black outfit, toss on a camel trench with a matching set.
Outfits With a Black Dress
A midi dress with a trend-forward cutout detail is a standout piece, and looks quite chic with a black shoulder bag and bucket hat.
Shop the key piece:
An oversize moto jacket is very right now and will bring a directional feel to a midi dress look. The black flat boots are also cool here.
Try black knee-high boots with a cutout dress for a polished look.
Consider matching socks with your black dress for something different.
Outfits With a Vegan-Leather Skirt
While this look does feature a brown bustier top, you could add a black top into this look for a trendy silhouette. You could also button up the leather shirt for a leather-on-leather look.
