8 Staple Pieces You Need For The Perfect All Black Outfit

We all have those days where we just want to wear all black. It doesn’t mean that we’re sad or moody. Some people just like a good all black outfit. But there are just so many ways you can do an all black outfit. You can have cute and girly; grungey; or chic and put together like someone from The Devil Wears Prada. Each outfit involves you having different staple pieces for you to build your outfit around, and to be honest, it can be really overwhelming. So to help you out on your all black outfit journey, here are 8 staple pieces you need for the perfect all black outfit.

1. A Black Denim Jacket

Denim jackets are staple pieces for a variety of outfits, and all black outfits are no exception. You can have them big and baggy and oversized, or you can go more classic and choose a more fitted one. There’s perfectly made denim jackets, or distressed ones; cropped and long denim jackets. Whichever style of denim jacket you prefer, they are definitely a staple piece for an all black outfit.

2. Black Boots

There are so many styles of black boots out there for you to pick from, and if you’re someone who likes to mix up their styles, there’s nothing wrong with owning multiple pairs! From ankle boots, to knees highs, to docs; high heels, no heels; the possibilities are endless. The best thing about wearing black boots with an all black outfit is that they go with everything and can completely change the tone of an outfit.

3. A Black Dress

We’ve all been told at some point in our lives by one person or another that everyone should own the perfect little black dress. And while they’re not wrong as such, a black dress doesn’t have to be little and tight and formal (although obviously, it 100% can be), but we’re thinking cami dresses, t-shirt dresses, wrap dresses, there are just so many for you to choose from. Black dresses are a staple for the perfect all black outfit, they’re just one piece of clothing you can throw on in the morning, and that’s it you’re dressed and you look great.

4. A Black Blazer

A well fitting black blazer is essential for an all black outfit. Now, when we say a well fitting blazer, that doesn’t mean it has to be tailored and fitted, if that’s not your thing. You can have it oversized with big shoulders, or tailored to fit your body perfectly. Blazers are a great all black outfit staple because they can be used in formal situations, or on a casual day to smarten up an outfit.

5. An Oversized Black T-shirt

An oversized black t-shirt is definitely an all black outfit staple. They’re great for days when you don’t have a clue what to wear, and work for all seasons. They’re great for layering with a long sleeved top underneath when it’s cold, with jeans tucked into skirts, or with cycling shorts when it’s a bit warmer. (They’re also great for just getting into bed when you really can’t be bothered to get changed).

Shop the look:

6. Black Jeans

Now, we don’t just mean any black jeans, we mean a good pair of true black jeans. A pair that are undoubtedly black, not washed out or faded. Once you have a good pair of black jeans they’re guaranteed to be a staple for all of your all black outfits. The best part is a pair of true black jeans can definitely be worn for a more dressed up occasion as well as everyday, because they really make you look put together.

7. Black Trainers

Black trainers are a staple for an all black outfit especially on casual days. There’s nothing worse than planning your outfit and then it comes to shoes and you realise your only choices are sandals (but it’s raining) and heeled boots (and you’re going to be doing a lot of walking today). Black trainers can be worn with so many outfits; dresses; skirts; shorts; jeans, to help tone it down and make it more causal.

8. A Long Black Coat

Long black coats are a great addition to an all black outfit, whether it’s a duster coat, or a trench coat, it doesn’t matter, whichever suits you the best. But a long black cat can do so many things for an all black outfit. You can throw on whatever mish-mash of an outfit you want underneath, but the second you put that coat on, you look classy and put together, like you know exactly what you’re doing in life.
