How to Wear Black Correctly and not Become Gloomy and Faceless.

If black clothes dominate your wardrobe, then our instructions for use are for you. We will tell you how to wear total black (and not only) to look dull and impersonal. We were inspired by the ideas of the stylist Daria Beloyvan and shared her life hacks.

Let's start with the most straightforward option - monochrome. Several techniques will help you correctly place accents, emphasize the figure, and generally make the image more interesting if you decide to use only one color. The best option is to play with volume, combining things of different shapes. For example, an oversized down jacket will accentuate the natural fragility, trousers hug the hips and legs, focusing on them, and a light bell bottom from the knee will stretch the silhouette even more. In combination with heels, this look looks especially impressive!

Another life hack for a mono-color is to make friends in one image with different textures. Mix contrasting materials: soft, thick knits and smooth, excellent leather, thin translucent elements, and rough pantsuits. Even though the image is composed in one color, the combination of different fabrics will help to make it more interesting.

The leather total bow looks bold and unusual. To not look like you just left the biker club, do not get carried away by harsh rocker elements, but rely on a more precise and more relaxed cut.

Bright accessories will help to beat the image in black tones. The best option is a handbag. Please choose a model in the current color and dilute the outfit with it. By the way, if you mostly wear black clothes, you can change the shade of the bag every time so that the wardrobe does not seem monotonous.

A small white element such as a T-shirt, shirt, or turtleneck can visually dilute the total black bow. White detail will add a bright accent to the image but will not be too conspicuous. By the way, light-colored shoes look great in contrast to black clothes.

If you are ready for more radical solutions, choose a black base for the look and add bright outerwear. By the way, you will look taller and slimmer due to the solid vertical line in the silhouette.

An alternative to bright outerwear can be white - this technique visually ennobles the image and makes it more expensive. And on a white background, black things seem richer.

Try a black and white print look. It can be something significant, such as a coat or trousers, or minor, chosen as an accent: shoes, bags, and glasses. The most relevant designs are chess, zebra, cow print, polka dots.
