Black is the most versatile and flattering color when it comes to clothes, but sometimes it looks too heavy for the summer. Here are our best tips for looking amazing in black during the hottest season of the year.

Texture

To make the outfits more interesting without adding colors, don’t be afraid to experiment with textures and details. Embroidery, ruffles, and bare shoulders are just some of the things that will make your outfits more vibrant and fashionable.

Fabric

Choose high-quality fabrics that won’t lose shape quickly and will make you look “expensive.” Take good care of your black clothes to prevent them from washing out and you’ll always look great in them.

Is it okay to wear all-black in the summer!? 😂 I thought I would give this a go earlier today before it gets even hotter later this week! You all know that I love my #monochromatic outfits, so here’s to an all black one. I think the only way this works is if the textures and fabrics work with the seasons to offer breathability and lightness. The shirt is 100% linen, the pants are tencel, and the sandals are open toed! So everything about this outfit is about comfort and being lightweight and breathable! Anyone else dare to do the all black summer outfit!? 🙋🏻‍♀️ Let me know in the comments if you have, and how you made it work or if this inspired you do try it out!

Electric Love. what I’ve learned about myself this weekend: hard style is definitely not my thing, you can sell fries for 8€ at a festival and people will still queue for hours, wearing heels to a festival might look good but surely doesn’t feel good after 6 hours of dancing and I’ll take any excuse to put glitter on my face. So despite this whole thing being everything else but my taste in music, I enjoyed the festival feeling and the positivity every soul there spread. Thank you @electricloveaut I might see you again next year. #werbungwegenmarkierung _____________________________________________ #electriclove #electriclovefestival #ootd #festival #festivaloutfit #festivalfashion #festivalmakeup #outfit #look #allblackoutfit #summer #parisian #parisianstyle #female #femalemodel #brunette #girl #fashioninspo #fashionblogger #travel
