We often hear of catchy phrases like "Black is the New Black" or "Back to Black" because this flattering colour looks effortlessly great on anyone no matter what body shape or size and they're easy to put together. All-black outfits are our main, number one go-to especially on days when we're too lazy to dress up. However, if you're worried about looking boring or feeling like you're going to a funeral, here are a few stylish ways to update you all-black outfit.
1. Add a pop of pattern

Black acts as the perfect canvas for your favourite fashion pieces to standout without you having to get out of your colour comfort zone. If you ever feel the need to flaunt your favourite statement shoes like a pair of leopard print ankle boots, an all-black outfit is the way to go. In fact, the display of patterns inject a little fun into the simple look and it instantly becomes the hightlight of your outfit.
2. Or a hint of colour
Black is one shade that matches any other colour like magic. Even a subtle hint of colour will elevate your monochrome look. For an elevated look, you can opt to tie a red bandana around your neck and the colour will simply pop against the black canvas.
3. Belt it up
Another chic way is to style is to belt it up. Not only does the trend-right metallic belt or coloured sash breaks the monochrome look, it gives that slimming effect for that perfect an hour glass figure to an already flattering palette.
4. Mix textures and materials
Playing with different textures and materials may seem like a small update but there's a whole lof difference to the overall look. Try putting together unexpected fabrics like a leather jacket with a suede skirt or faux fur.
5. Glam it up with accessories or detachable collars
Accessories are key when it comes to styling an all-black outfit. Diamante details and metallic touches to the all-black look makes it all glitzy and glamorous instead of plain and boring. Plus, they add an edge appeal and more character to the look depending on the type of accessories ranging from sophisticated crystal to grungy spikes.
6. Wear statement shoes
See the sexy fringe on those heels? Like I've said, it's all about accessorizing and selecting the fashion pieces that you would like to parade. An all black-outfit makes those stunning bold pieces, extra BOLD.
7. Play with proportions
It comes down to how you decide to balance the silhouette by playing with proportions. Skin-tight bottoms with voluminous coats. Wide-leg trousers with snug blouses. The interesting combinations can loosen up the stiff and seriousness of an all-black.
8. If it's short, keep it loose.
Another tip is to keep it loose if you go short to avoid the clubbing vibes. This plunging V-neck romper keeps it relaxed and sleek at the same time.
Try out these ideas and you'll be rocking the all-black look all year long.
