Thanks to stylish figures such as Coco Chanel and Audrey Hepburn, wearing an all black outfit is considered to be the true epitome of chic. With just a pair of slingback pumps, a black polo and silk skirt, the perfect effortlessly chic look can be created.
But what would a black outfit be if it wasn’t for a timeless bag? The black Saint Laurent Le 5 À 7 is the perfect bag to pair with a simple, yet effective look. The signature logo plaque and gold tone hardware elevates the outfit in a classy modest way.
Transcending through trend and time with it’s iconic history, a red lip is the perfect balance of classy and alluring. Unlike a pale pink, the red lip stands out to the naked eye and sends messages of power and elegance, leaving others to be captivated.
Gold earrings have always been a favourite amongst many women, including myself. Gold jewellery never goes out of style. A pair of gold earrings can be integrated into all outfits to compliment a classic and refined appearance. For example, a simple pair of gold earrings can be worn every day. Additionally, gold fits all genders because of it’s chic simplicity and how it can be paired with many different accessories to suit any outfit.
Though there are many different accessories, perfume is the ultimate accessory. Perfume is ALWAYS in. Perfume suits any occasion when chosen correctly. Perfume can be captivating, or, conversely, leave one feeling intoxicated. Additionally, when it comes to perfumes, the options are endless. So, it’s essential every woman has a few perfumes they can rely on because perfume has the power to elevate your outfit and leave your presence to be unforgettable. After all, the famous quote by Oliver Creed: ‘ladies, a man will never remember the handbag you wore, but he will always remember your perfume ’ Is the truth. Additionally, i chose the YSL Libre Eau de Parfum for this look because it feels chic. It is a statement fragrance that is perfect for making a sparkling first impression.
Why is black so chic?
Throughout my life i’ve always heard the question ‘Why is black so chic?’ being asked and well, it’s simple. Black is beautiful. It’s the colour of night. The colour looks wonderful on anyone, perfectly matches everything and draws attention away from ‘flaws’ one might have, without the distraction of colour.
A ‘little black dress’ is a wardrobe staple for every woman worldwide – it’s short length and timelessness means that any woman can afford to wear it. I remember when i invested in my first ever ‘little black dress’ and instantly being captivated by it’s chicness and elegance. In my opinion a ‘little black dress’ is the perfect clothing piece for almost every occasion, one is never overdressed or underdressed with a ‘little black dress’ as said perfectly by Karl Lagerfeld.
The ‘effortlessly chic’ look magazines love to talk about can easily be achieved with a few black basics, including a black statement coat and a pair of black jeans. Black is perceived as sleek and creates the impression of sophistication, which explains why it is a lot of peoples go to clothing colour, including myself. With just almost any black clothing piece, a timeless outfit can be created.
