It’s no secret that black is a go-to color for fashion girls—after all, what’s not to like? It’s super flattering, goes with everything, and totally gives off no-nonsense, super edgy vibes. The one (and pretty much only!) downside to black? It can be a struggle to pull of in the summer—but that doesn’t mean it can’t be done! Proof? Read on for three looks that make black work and beat the heat.
1. Less is more
Black is the perfect color for pulling off the minimalist look, and when it comes to beating the summer heat, less is definitely more. Cropped wide-leg culottes are having a moment, and the look great paired with a simple fitted crop top. Comfy normcore sandals are fashion forward, but laidback enough for summer. Add a touch of luxe detail with a statement-making ear cuff!
2. Swap out your leather jacket
When we’ve been living in our favorite leather jackets all winter and spring, parting with them for summer is a HUGE bummer. Solution: swap it out for a warm weather-appropriate leather jacket, which looks great over a swingy black cami dress. A fringed bag adds just the right amount of boho-chic.
3. Add in texture
When it comes to all black, mixing textures and fabrics to keep things interesting is crucial. A lace cami keeps you cool in sweaty summer weather, and a wrap skirt adds structure to the look. Add interest with a simple croc patterned bag—an easy way to tote around all your summer essentials.
