Its ultra trendy right now to be animated in both personality and personal style. Color is an amazing gift and those of us able to see it and live in it are extremely fortunate. Living in color allows you to express your self vividly and precisely. Big, bright, bold colors, patterns and designs have gained popularity over the last few seasons and while I enjoy the variety, availability and it makes me smile; I still know that nothing is more classic, chic or sophisticated than the perfect black outfit.
Black is powerful and as artist and performer, Janelle Monae would say "its transcendent". That means that it defies age, gender, economic and social status. Everyone gets it and no matter what the occasion, it will always be appropriate. Whether you need a professional look for a job interview, an overtly sexy outfit for a night out or something more casual for a social event, black is always go-to.
The
new black comes in a variety of fabrics that give life to a color some may have thought was dead. But, in fact you can be just as creative with black as you can with any other color, if not more. There is a depth and versatility to black unlike any other color on the spectrum and it can speak volumes when worn effectively!

Sometimes, I feel as if I have too much black in my wardrobe. It's like, I am drawn to black shoes, pants, tops, accessories, suits, and handbags...I try so much to venture into other colors because I love the color chart, but black is sleek, chic, sophisticated, mysterious, daring, powerful and at times intimidating. I think we can do so much with it that's why I can't seem to leave it alone..."once you go black never go back...lol! Great Post!
