Though black clothes are considered depressing and representing negativity, the fashion piece is timeless, versatile, and multi-functional. Whether you wear black because you aren’t sure what color suits you, or you simply love the darkest shade, having black pieces in your wardrobe is essential.

Whether it’s a party, special occasion, date, official business or a casual night out, there are times when you get confused what to wear and what not to wear. That’s the time you should put on black without wasting your time in such quandary. Also, it’s easy to team up black jeans with any shade of shirt or T-shirt. You can enjoy more freedom and flexibility when it comes to selecting accessories to match black outfit than to clothes of any other colour.

Among the basic wardrobe essentials having black pants is worth stocking up, whether they’re tie-waist trousers or pencil-straight.

What exactly are basic wardrobe essentials?

Here is a sneak peek of 5 wardrobe essentials in a lady’s or gentleman’s wardrobe.

1. White T-shirt.

2. Denim jacket.

3. Black pants.

4.Fitting blazers.

5. Denim jeans.

Owning several black pants can be very advantageous. Different textures,different designs, different sizes for different occasions.

Okay here is how to style your fitting black pants.

1. All black with a splash of leather.

Wearing all black hides the odds and the irregularities on your body. Hence you come out as a more confident person more in control of how you look than you do in any other shades. Most importantly, when it comes to fashion, black is the mark of elegance and sophistication.

This look is perfect for casual hangouts and traveling.

The leather jacket goes with the leather handbag oozing style and sophistication.The practical properties of leather are matched by its beauty. Whatever the colour or leather type you choose, it will always exude quality. Stand a leather handbag next to synthetic one and see the difference.

Investing in leather jackets goes without saying. Leather is a timeless fabric – it’s never out of fashion. Styles may change, but leather will always be seen as a mark of quality for shoes, bags and other accessories, as well as furniture and high-end car upholstery.

2. Adding some pop of color.

An easy way to add a bold factor to your look is by wearing bright or deep shades. Red, cobalt blue, green and purple are just a few examples of colors that easily pair with black skinny jeans making the outfit less boring. Other colors like bright yellow or orange are acceptable, although they don’t make the best color combination. When choosing one of these bold colors, take into account your complexion. 

This look is perfect when hanging out with friends,going to concerts and anything casual related.

3. Rocking it the vintage way.

This is the type of outfit that shouts STYLE. Vintage fashion has become more popular over the years, perhaps because of nostalgia or because of the beautiful singularity of the garments that cannot be duplicated easily.

Whether you are for or against new trends, vintage fashion is the perfect complement for any of those points of view. When you wear vintage alone, you distinguish yourself from the rest. When you add vintage to the current trends, you actually look ahead of what current fashion has to offer.

Which one is your favorite outfit among the three?

A fashion faux pas is one of the biggest sartorial sins one can make when getting dressed. Whether it’s wearing something that should be ironed,or allowing your underwear to show through your outfit, a fashion faux pas can ruin an otherwise on-point outfit.

Always buy good quality materials when possible, and match your undergarments with the colour of your outfit. Likewise, ensure proper care is taken to maintain your clothes’ condition.

For a long time, pairing jeans with a chambray shirt or a denim jacket was considered a major fashion faux pas. But not anymore. These days, some of the most stylish individuals we know rock denim on denim so well.

If you’ve never worn any denim piece before, you might be surprised to learn just how versatile denim jackets and jeans are truly are.

Owning denim pieces has so many advantages. You want something to wear year all round irrespective of the seasons, something easily recycled not to mention the countless styles you can pair them with other pieces. Denim pieces are also so strong you can pull and tug on them with all your muscle without causing any visible damage on the material. Although your curbside trash and recycling company may not accept it, denim is still recyclable nonetheless. There are countless companies that will gladly accept and recycle denim, making this textile good for the environment. 

It is also worth mentioning that denim jackets are easy to clean. Most denim jackets are washing machine-friendly. Of course, you should still check your jacket’s care label. If it doesn’t specifically say that it’s “washing machine safe,” you should choose an alternative cleaning method. In addition to being easy to clean denims require little or no maintenance.

Like everything else denim pieces have a downside too. Sending someone to get you denim jeans might not be the best idea since most commercial jeans don’t have the same size as you actually need. A size 6 from pretty little thing might not be the same as that of fashionnova. Depending with the type of fabric most denim pieces are prone to wearing and tearing.

I decided to pair my denim on denim with a black camisole ,a snake print handbag and plain black heels. This look is cool,stylish and perfect. The perfect casual but classy look.

Alone this outfit is timeless. It would be perfect for a casual hangout or brunch,nothing too fancy.

Wearing similar-toned denim makes the whole outfit look more considered, as if you’ve planned to wear two denim pieces. “There’s a fine line between considered and too matchy,as if you really are wearing some sort of custom denim suit. Make sure there is some variation in the denim of your jacket and jeans.

Sense of belonging, the reason people are willing to walk on fire, deal with all kinds of challenges just to prove that yes they do belong somewhere. What better way to crown ones identity than with a unique dress code. Most of us have read from our history books how different communities had different ways of dressing. Some communities like the maasais have upheld this tradition.

Plaids or tartan were used to describe the individual colors and patterns used to decorate the clothes of different Scottish clans. It was a symbol of the Jacobites and  Scottish culture in general . They were also used as cloaks for traveling during winter months because they were thick and could keep in body heat.

I remember the first time i wore a plaid skirt i was in primary school. It was long and barely fit my waist but my mother would not hear none of that. Since then I’ve always referred plaid pattern to school. The plaid material edition seems to have cropped back again.

Worn correctly plaid pieces can be very stylish. In recent years, plaid has had such a strong resurgence that in some places you would be hard-pressed to look around and not see at least one person wearing checked plaid. It is no longer a trend but a basic piece.

For the first way of styling a plaid skirt ,I picked an asymmetrical skirt,paired it with a plain black T-shirt and added some pop of colour with the bag and belt. For shoes, I went for black stilettos. This outfit is good for casual hangouts and lazy weekends. However, it needs confidence. The skirt has so much going on,the plaid pattern, it has one pocket not to mention it being asymmetrical meaning it is long on one side and short on the other,too much drama.

For the second one, i picked a short plaid wrap skirt, paired it with a more feminine plain black top and white rubber shoes. This outfit is simple, looks playful at a glance. It is a perfect outfit for school. I would say this makes me more approachable that the first. The downside of this outfit, it’s already short and has that little slit at the front. One ought to make sure the knot at the side is tight enough for it not to fall off too.

I saved the best for the last. A short tight plaid skirt paired with a polo neck is timeless. The leather jacket,beret and glasses complement the outfit ,making it pop. For shoes go for army boots. I like the emo vibe of this outfit. Sure looks badass. It would be my outfit of choice while going for a fashion event or concert. The downside of this outfit, the skirt’s length might be a challenge under some circumstances. This outfit can only be worn on few occasions.

If you were to choose a dress code that represents your family what would you choose?

How much attention do you pay to the outfit you wear while running errands?Say when going for shopping and random hangouts. Are you the extra type, the high heeled,cat eyed, dark eye shadow, fur coat and sunglasses type or the Tshirt and jeans-I- am-good-to-go-type? I cannot say I’m either since it really depends with my mood that day.

On days that I’m super psyched I go all out,all fancy and cute. On the other days, well let’s say i don’t mind being handsome.

Weeks ago the internet was filled with video compilations of Chinese street fashion that went viral. Mashed up prints,extreme eye makeup,neon streaked hair, traditional Japanese dresses you name it, turning the streets into a runway. Some people say it was staged,that they had stylists do all the work and make it look random. We cannot know for sure. But one thing that we can agree on is that street style has never looked so effortless and chic like it did with these compilations.

Even during this Covid times, fashion has a way of cheering us up. Everything about these videos is exciting— the sense of fashion, the attitudes displayed, the high-quality production, the K-Pop and Chinese hip-hop soundtracks… and of course, the novelty of seeing people in head-to-toe, capital-letter LOOKS at a time when many of us are spending our days at home in pajamas.

I have always wanted to try the short plaid skirt and polo neck combination and this seemed like the best time to try it out. A leather jacket complements an outfit ,making it pop. I also like the emo vibe of this outfit. Sure looks badass.

What would YOU wear if you were on the Chinese streets?

Green,blue,maroon. What a combination.

I thought so too before i tried out this look. If colour blocking wasn’t a thing i wouldn’t consider trying this out in the first place. Saying it loud already feels ridiculous leave alone trying it on. This is one of the reasons i fit my clothes physically before choosing an outfit for a specific occasion. Ever had an outfit fit so perfectly in your head only for you to be disappointed once you try it on? It happens to me too.

A few months ago my roomie and I decided to go hiking over the weekend. I was so hyped and was really looking forward to wearing this skater skirt that i had just bought,paired with a white Tshirt and white rubber shoes. You get the picture right?It was really cute in my head too. The day comes I’m already an hour late, I put on my “cute” outfit and dash out. As i count my fashion mistakes this is definitely one of them.

By the time we reached the peak, one couldn’t really tell the exact color of the shoes and Tee I was wearing. I look back and wonder who in their right minds wears a skirt when going for hiking. Definitely me back then i guess.

Okay let’s talk about skirts. “Sketi” if you may.

I’m not really a fan of wearing tight skirts although i own one or two of the same. Something about them being tight doesn’t seem right with me. I prefer something i can walk freely in, something that doesn’t limit my strides.

How to differentiate skater skirts from the rest of the skirts? Well skater skirts are narrow at the top and flare gently getting wider towards the bottom kinda like the letter A.

Styling skater skirts is a walk in the park if you ask me. I prefer going for plain colours in this case. This gives me a tone of options of ways i can wear it. Here are a few ways to get you started ,

1. Pair your skater skirt with a T-shirt and rubber shoes or heels. ( Do not go hiking with this though) This outfit is perfect for casual hangouts.

2. Pair your skater (preferably knee length ) with an official long sleeved blouse and a pair of red bottom heels for an official look perfect for work or anything formal.

3. Pair your skater with a T-shirt,a leather jacket and boots. A perfect outfit for casual hangouts.

4. For a more conservative look, wear opaque leggings such as stockings, skinny jeans and leggings paired with a polo neck and boots.

5. I have this rule while pairing my outfits, i never pair two printed pieces together floral,checkered you name it unless I’m going for a vintage look. It works for me. Pair your floral skater with a plain top or vice versa.

There you go pal. You are all set to rock that skater skirt.

For my outfit i went for a denim shirt just to prove that green, blue and maroon is a great combination because fashion and style offers room for diversity.

Lounge wear . What do you wear at home during your day offs or during weekends?

People ( me included) rarely put effort in lounge wears ,i mean why buy something expensive only for you to wear it at home when you can wear something rugged ? That’s why you’d be surprised if you visited them unexpectedly .

I should have written this earlier but better late than never right? Right now most people have normalized working at home. I read an article earlier this week about a lady that would wake up early ,shower ,dress ,make breakfast then start working . She was doing this normal routine because it helped her focus on her work even while at home . She also mentioned wearing heels while on calls that are work related. This simply kept her in a working mood.

Okay that aside. Lounge wears will have you in a good mood all day .

I’d recommend you invest in sweatpants ,jumpers,cotton socks and sets of clothing (it could be a two piece ). Don’t be scared to go for bright colours either .

While doing the purchases go for cotton fabrics and a size larger for extra comfort (this only works for tops not bottoms). 

The cold season is upon us so go for warm clothing. For extra fun times with family you can buy matching outfits then play the night way. Days with your children don’t have to be boring anymore. 

Since staying in is the new going out, chill in style. If you have no idea where to shop you can try find online stores that stock up lounge wears. You’ll have a variety to choose from. 

Be sure to tell me how your hunt comes along.

So what really catches your eye and makes you conclude that she looks stuck up or has the high maintenance vibe ?

Every so often i like exploring with the lady in me. Act all refined and stuff😂. You know that vibe someone gives you you may think they have all their shit figured out just by how they look ,walk, talk or behave generally.

In today’s blog I’ll share with you few tips you could follow to achieve the classy ,elegant look.

Okay let’s get into it 💜💜

1. Light makeup .

Too much makeup attracts attention to your face. The lesser the better and don’t use bright colours preferably use lighter shades.

2. Heels or flats.

Opt to wear pointed heels or flats . They have a way of complementing your entire outfit. Go for plain colours could be dark or not so bright. The idea is to make you the center of attraction effortlessly without you looking like a clown.

3. Decency

A classy woman is modest so decency is key . Don’t expose too much if you know what i mean .

4. Well fitting clothes.

Well fitting clothes tend to compliment your body shape . They have that feminine vibe so stock them up hunny .

5. Accessories.

Invest in good jewellery. They have a way of turning your outfit from 1 to 100 real quick. Watches, necklaces or ear pieces whichever you’re into.

6. Sunglasses.

We can both agree that sunglasses make you feel some type of way. I can’t emphasize enough the importance of finding a pair that fits your face shape. It’s crucial you do 🙂

7. Hair do .

You could wear your hair up or make it neat messy hairdos aren’t part of the classy you package.💝

In conclusion you could try add good mannerisms to what I’ve said above .

A look like this holds some power . Its one that will have everyone listening to you when you speak . It demands respect even in a room full of strangers.

Okay😊😊thank you for reading this piece and be sure to tell me how your classy outfit turns out.More to come your way 🥀

I decided to have black as my second monochromatic look . This is the same outfit i wore in my previous blog just did some few changes . I got rid of the tie ,half coat and changed the shoes . It’s more feminine now right?

Given a choice I’d probably have all my clothes in black. All factors considered, I feel the most confident and comfortable when wearing an all black outfit . I know it can be boring when worn consecutively but let’s be honest you can get creative with black.

About black🖤

Black is elegant. Black is chic . Black favours all skin tones. Black favors all hair colors. Black goes well with almost all occasions. Black goes well with almost all seasons (only of you try the different textures available).

Yeah i said that right .Black can be worn during different seasons. Go for cotton when it’s cold and silk or linen when its warm.

Just like any other color black has different shades that you could play around with. If you feel like spicing up your look try shoes or handbags or scarfs of different color. Try red,white or brown if you’re undecided.

One more thing. Accessorize! Have your jewelry game on hunny.

For my outfit i added the one inch shoes for a feminine yet official touch. This would definitely be my outfit of choice when going for an interview . It shows that your are there for business ,no prints no bright colours just plainly official.

Dressing has never been so easy😊.

Be sure to tell me how your all black outfit turns out .

So who is a tomboy? How do you identify a tom boy ? Would you mind if your daughter, friend was a tom boy?

It’s is a girl who enjoys activities associated with boys. It was originally used to refer to immodest women. Women that dressed or behaved in a “peculiar” way. They faced rejection from the community and were often heavily punished.

Remember when women were inferior to men and kitchen was their place. They were not to talk unless spoken to, formal education was a male’s thing too and not to forget anything other than a long, decent dress was unacceptable for women’s clothing. There was no room for creativity. 

Times have changed now but not that much especially for the girls that dress like boys. People judge them harshly and although they are not banished from the community their lives aren’t those to envy.

What’s the first thing that comes in mind when you see a tom boy? Are there rules of dressing? Can they be changed? 

Don’t get me wrong, I’m just curious. Remember a time when women weren’t supposed to wear pants at all? All that is in the past now (although in some communities it’s still not allowed).

More often than not tomboys are viewed as people who are not interested in fashion, beauty or style. People that have taken the freedom of dressing too far. People trying to be someone they are not by dressing in a certain way.

It’s quite unfortunate people think that every tomboy is gay. I know chances are high she is but still. What happened to getting to know people? I mean its just a way of dressing right?

It’s quite unfortunate people think that every tomboy is gay. I know chances are high she is but still .What happened to getting to know people? I mean its just a way of dressing right?

A while back i was reading an article . Men were asked if they’d approach a tomboy . Most people said they wouldn’t with reasons like ,” why would i waste my time and i know she’s gay?”,”she looks more of a man than i am ” (he clearly is one insecure man).”she doesn’t look submissive “.The ones that said they would gave reasons like ,”tomboys are decent “, “they look serious about life and have that don’t care attitude which is completely attractive”.

Next time you feel like exploring your freedom of dressing try the tomboy look.

How to embrace the official tomboy style 

It might be for an interview or just for fun (Nothing about this look screams party). 

Okay let’s get into it;

1. Grab a tie. 

2 . Choose a plain colour for the shirt.

3. Get fitting pants with a fitting blazer preferably of the same colour.

4 If you have a half coat well and good.

5 . Go for official shoes (brown or black will do the trick).

The hat just complements the look. 

You can never go wrong with either of those😊
