Black Denim: Three Ways

Black Denim: It doesn’t get any more basic than this. We say basic because it’s a key piece that’s worn and styled to fit countless occasions. While we normally associate jeans with the color blue, today we’re switching our focus on black. Black denim may seem easy enough to pull off; the color black after all, is the easiest color to wear. Not only does it go with almost everything in your wardrobe, they’re also destined to be multi-season keepers. And while almost everyone knows that black is slimming, it can also be considered boring. That’s why we are here to show you how to wear black denim in three different ways.

First up, the night look, pair your black denim with a sharp feminine top that breaks up the solid black color of your jeans. Choose a fun necklace that livens up your ensemble that will take you straight to the evening. I personally like pairing my black skinny jeans with edgy shoes that are high but still sensible so I can actually wear them. 

For a weekend day of lunch and errands, pair your black denim with a casual and preppy striped top. Gold is black’s natural pairing and for a weekend, add a pop of color by choosing gold sandals to wear with your straight-leg black denim. Just make sure the rest of your ensemble is low-maintenance. For this look especially, it’s important to be both comfortable and stylish.

For the office, the key to make black jeans acceptable for this setting is to pair your black denim with tailored pieces and dressier fabrics. Choose a chic work week basic like a black blazer to go over your top. Stick to wearing neutral colored heels, keeping everything structured and easy on the eye.

So whether you’re grabbing some drinks on a night out, enjoying an afternoon lunch with friends, or putting hours at work, you can dress up your black denim.. Put them on one leg at a time and you’re good to go—for any situation.
