6 All-Black Outfits You'll Wish You Were Wearing Right Now
Whoever says black is boring is lacking imagination. Mind you, I’m biased since all black is my go-to for pretty much every occasion in life.
The key is to play with contrasting textures to give an all-black outfit the dimension it craves. Think, shiny patent leathers, cotton, gabardine wools, velvet, faux-croc, lambskin leather, chunky knits, silks, lace, you get the point.
While you’re there, play around with your accessories as well. A grommet leather belt like the one Maja Wyh is wearing below will break up a pair of black jeans and a black t-shirt. A strappy leather sandal will look amazing with a midi-cargo skirt and ribbed tube top like seen on Pernille Teisbaek. Add some sleek sunglasses, gold jewelry, and a little Prada handbag, and you’re set.
Black On Black Outfit Ideas
1// CASUAL ALL BLACK
Maja Wyh wearing black jeans with a leather grommet belt, topped off classic black double breasted blazer with brass buttons. Pay attention to the small details to make an all black outfit come to life.
2// ROCK ALL BLACK TO YOUR NEXT MEETING
Mary Kate Olsen wears a silk blouse that happens to be causally open, which so perfectly shows off her gold chain. It seems like she’s wearing a silk jacket over top. She opts for gabardine wool trousers in a wide leg cut that gives her a sophisticated air. I love the addition of the aviator glasses that say , “Don’t mess with me.”
3 & 4 // WEAR HEAD TO TOE BLACK LIKE A FASHION GIRL
Yoyo Cao and Pernille Teisbaek wear all black during Milan Fashion week. Yoyo rocks the Prada combat boots which turned the fashion world upside down at the end of 2019. I love how she pairs them with a black utility inspired trench with not one, but two belts! Genius!
Pernille wears a utility inspired midi skirt, contrasting it with a feminine tube top. I love the delicate heels she’s wearing in contrast to the boxy Prada bag and large gold chain. It’s all about the subtle balance and contrast with her.
5// THE DATE NIGHT LOOK
Nothing says date night like a beautiful shoe. Here, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley wears her leather cross-over sandals with a gold ankle bracelet. (Why do I have the feeling these are making a comeback?)
Her pleated trousers show off her waist, while her blouse gives the outfit a playful quality, even though it’s cut high at the neck.
Opt for a blouse with voluminous sleeves if you want to take your outfit to another level. Big sleeves lend a romantic characteristic to an outfit, plus, they’ll be a HUGE trend in 2020.
6// EDGY ALL BLACK

What To Wear When You're Bored Of Your Own Clothes
I like to set up my mornings so they run as smoothly as possible. Planning my outfits ahead of time is just one of the things I do, and my process for finding outfit inspo is super simple.
I'll head over to Pinterest the week or night before. My boards happen to be categorized in a way that I know will make it easy to put outfits together - All Black, Denim, or Street Style if I'm looking for a more eclectic outfit for example. From there, I just look for any Pins that might strike a chord with me and pick something similar that's already in my closet.
Normally, I can find outfit inspiration quickly, but the other day I was scrolling and scrolling down Pinterest thinking, “I’m so bored with everything I own.” I should also mention that I haven’t bought anything new in a couple of weeks because I’m doing a low-buy year, and therefore running out to buy something new isn't an option. I digress.
After stepping away from Pinterest and coming back to it the next day with a clear mind, I was able to scroll through and nail some new outfits down. I might swap out a sandal out for a boot since it’s winter in Canada, but at least the work is done for me and I know exactly what I’m wearing for the rest of the workweek.
For more outfit inspo, head over to Pinterest @woahstyle, and follow me there for daily inspo.

How To Style A Pajama Shirt
If you like the look of pajama shirts but you’re unsure of how to wear them, simply reach for a pair of slim-cut jeans and feminine heels. Opt for silk fabric instead of cotton so that your outfit looks intentional and chic, otherwise, you might run the risk of looking like you’re wearing pj’s in public. The finished look is perfect for a Friday night outing!

The Checkered Blazer
A good checkered blazer is one of the most versatile and timeless pieces one can have in their closet. It’ll transition seamlessly from fall to winter, spring and summer. It’ll dress up even a basic t-shirt and make one feel more polished and put-together. Best of all, you don’t have to break the bank to add one of these staple pieces into your wardrobe. In this post, I’ve rounded up some of my current favorite blazers in classic brown and grey.

Maja Wyh Makes A Statement in Faux Fur
German influencer, Maja Wyh, has a lust-worthy closet that we can only dream of owning. She’s known for pairing oversized pieces with skinny jeans, although these days we’re seeing her wearing more tailored basics and wide-leg trousers.
It’s this elevator-selfie of Maja wearing a stunning brown fur jacket with gold aviator frames that made me stop scrolling through Pinterest and say to myself , “Ugh, I love this outfit!”. I love how the clothes she’s wearing consist of basics, but it’s her jacket that makes her outfit pop. Just goes to show that sometimes simple is best.

How To Style Shiny Patent Leather Pants
If you’re like me and love the look of shiny patent leather pants, but you’re reluctant about what to pair them with, fear not. Below I’m explaining why this outfit works and how you can take those style tips to apply to your own wardrobe.
A feminine blouse with voluminous sleeves in a silk or satin fabric will instantly add some glamour to patent leather and make it appear more high-fashion.
If you're looking for a coat or blazer for your outfit, consider a black or grey plaid number if you have a cool-tone white blouse. If you've opted for warm-whites (ivory, cream, ecru), then run with the warm theme by adding a beige or brown neutral-toned coat or blazer. A pop of color is also a good option, as we see in with the red glasses worn here.
Finally for shoes, texture will be your best friend. Go for a faux snakeskin or an elegant jacquard boot to create separation from your pant and boot.

Luka Sabbat is probably one of my favourite people for fashion inspiration. Here he wears a plaid grey suit for a feature in GQ with a colour blocked cardigan underneath. His personality comes through with all stacks of badass silver jewelry.

The easiest way to make a suit look effortless is with a pair of sneakers. I paired this grey plaid suit with red Adidas x Alexander Wang sneakers. I also ditched the handbag and just used my LV agenda and clutch instead.

Even after all of these years Mary-Kate Olsen continues to dominate the fashion world without even trying. I love how she layered a bunch of necklaces to go with her oversized navy suit.

I wore this pink gingham Zara suit (from their spring 2019 collection) for my best friends baby shower. I wanted to dress up and still wear pants so I opted for a suit. A pink satin blouse and hot pink metallic Gucci loafers makes the outfit more fun and contemporary and less stuffy.
