I have seen that many women who claim that their favorite color is black but when it comes to clothes, they have only a few black dresses in their wardrobes. The reason is that most of these women do not know the art of wearing black color. They feel that when they wear black, they look like a participant of a costume party. Black has connotations with mystery, magic, and evil, so here are some surefire suggestions to follow in order to look good in black:
Do not Overdo Black
Remember one mistake most women make is that they overdo black. Avoid doing this as it may turn out to be unflattering in many aspects. It may be slimming for your figure but it shows adverse effects on your complexion. An olive skin may look dull while a pale skin may look paler. You can therefore go with other bright colors such as emerald and burgundy to add to your black dress, in order to make it elegant.
Be careful about the accessories
If you pick the incorrect accessories, you will look like someone dressed up for Halloween. Silver and gold jewelry would look awesome with black. You can even pick a scarf in any good color that looks good with black. When choosing shoes to wear with black evening dresses, make sure they are not much gothic or chunky. Go for stylish sandals, court shoes or flat shoes.
Shoes
Shoes should always be chosen in any color other than black. You can ideally go for gray boots or purple silhouettes.
Makeup
Heavy makeup would not help much with black so you better go with something light and simple. Choose between eyes and mouth - - do not make the both prominent at the same time. Avoiding too much black makeup would be a wise choice.
Hosiery
Go for colorful leggings and socks. Colorful belts and scarves can also help you look different yet elegant. Cleo D. Pless
