How many times have you worn a total black look? People always say “I love black, you can always wear it without being wrong” or “it helps look so slim”, “it’s my go-to outfit”, but I really can’t relate to it. This is my first total black look for as far as I can remember.
Even now I haven’t managed to wear a total black look, regardless of my intention. I’ve honestly tried so many times to pull off one, but as soon as I see myself on the mirror, I change my outfit. While a total black outfit is a statement by itself if styled on point, when I am wearing one I feel that it doesn’t suit much. It’s just too dark for me. Which is not the case for my all-time favorite, white-on-white look.
If you feel the same way, you can take it step by step by adding some pop of color with your accessories. My beautiful scarf “L’autre nuit” from the Parisian accessories brand From A Friend Of Mine, was a perfect choice for that look. When I got it, I thought that it would look great with a leather jacket and as I saw them together I was sure. It’s print reminds of Xmas lights or a starry sky don’t you think?
As for the look, I figured that since the color is black, I had to create some juxtapositions with textures. Nothing looks dowdier than an all-cotton total black outfit. I wore black skinny jeans, a knit sweater, suede boots, leather jacket and finished with cat-eye sunglasses and a few jewelries.
Do you wear total black outfits? What’s your go-to between total black and all-white?
Thanks for reading and have a wonderful week!

Nice look! I love all-black outfits 🙂 Playing with textures is a great thing to do with a monochrome outfit as well as adding just one piece of another colour to elevate the look 🙂

You and I are on the same wavelength when it comes to wearing all black. Though I’ve done an all black, minus the slightest pop of color, I had to add a statement faux fur coat or something to add some life to it. Other than that, I typically add in some print or color, as you so beautifully did here yourself! I adore that scarf, it’s so unique and looks wonderful paired with the black pieces! Thanks so much for sharing, gorgeous, and I hope you have a great start to your week so far!

You do all black so right babe! Love that there is a hint of color in your scarf, it keeps it from being like every other all black outfit out there! You always know how to take a classic look and add your own personal spin to it, which I love. I am with you though in that I enjoy an all white ensemble better than all black. It feels a lot more fresh and more suited to my personality. Have a great week ahead babe!

Love that wearing all black is an exception for you, it’s an exception for me too! i just think all the black blends in to one another and I can’t even see properly what I’m wearing, lol! However, love this outfit. The skirt really makes a great pop and I think your shoes are genius! Xx

Girl you look fierce in all black! Love the pop of colour. I can’t believe this is your first all black look. Black is my happy color and I’m sure I wear way to much of it. Hope you have a great week!

Black looks don’t work for me as well, as I have black hair and pale skin. I look like I’m mourning!
The scarf is truly beautiful my Stella! I have a confession to make, I love saving your posts sometimes two at a time.
Reading and being here is a ritual, one that demands a certain atmosphere and mood.
Thank you so much for the inspiration!
Cheers,

I am definitely all all black girl. But I agree that it can be intimidating for some. I think you added just the right pop with your scarf! As for me, I’ll be wearing all black until March haha.

As with white on white looks, I fear the same when considering black on black outfits: that the shades are exactly the same !
I can work with both, my latest was black on black as its rainy season here –
I think totally black is always a good choice. Your outfit is perfect Stella beacuse your taste on fashion is amazing. Kisses from Italy and thank you for stopping at my blog. I’m very happy for your comment.

Dear Stella, I’m Depeche mode girl and I say always big YES to black outfits!!! But of course there are some outfits they are just black, but this one of yours is really very special: there are different kind black color and also different materials. And the fine touch of red color makes the outfit just more interesting! super done! your Martina
This all black look is working for you, Stella! You look so edgy and chic, and I love your scarf as an added pop of color! 🙂 I love an all black look, or an all white look, so it’s hard for me to choose between the two, lol!
Oh my! Stella!
I though I had already checked it out (maybe because of the posts on IG?) but I didn’t really until now. Brilliant article and the part about the mix of textures is totally in sync with many of my views. Once again, this all-in-black look is quite something, so easy yet it stands out just like that!
Love your stuff!
