How To: The One About Black

This post is for all of you who love black, look great in black, have a lot of black, or just can't let go of black.

A great way to complement all the black in your wardrobe is to create a capsule based on two foundations, for instance a neutral and a colour. I once read an article about a style consultant who treated red as one of her 'neutrals', and I loved the idea. So, surprisingly I know, here is an example of a 2 week capsule wardrobe (work and casual wear, and evening/special event looks) with two foundations. To black and red I have added white, grey and magenta.

Hang on, magenta?
With red?
Really?

Yep! I personally love this colour clash. For those of you who aren't so daring, you can limit your magenta combinations to the black, grey and white.

You could add many other colours to the mix as well like yellow, purple, emerald green or teal.
