Black Out

The color of night has been a staple in our wardrobe for as long as we can remember. Typically seen as a safe bet, black is anything but boring this season. To revamp our old friend, designers used shapely silhouettes, unexpected textures, and daring designs. No need to send your brightly hued pieces into hibernation just yet, but this winter you’ll want to pair them with shades of ebony. Or don head-to-toe black for a dramatic effect.
