Styling everything black has been a statement for the ages. Whether the iconic Breakfast At Tiffany’s little black dress, the Wednesday Adams gothic gown with white collars, Rei Kawakubo’s distinct black aesthetic (leather jacket included), or any all-black ensemble. The color black exudes mystery, poise, high fashion, and strength. With all the history, it’s important to style your black outfits in such a way that you have the best overall ‘fit. At times the crown and jewel of an all black ensemble is the accompanying jewelry. Here are a few jewelry options (some that would positively pop) on black outfits.
