5 Black Outfits That Still Scream Merry Christmas
Who says black isn’t festive?
If there was an anthem for daily color mood then black would stand front and center. Classic beyond time, basic throughout all outfits. A staple, to say the least.
And if it’s turned into a go-to favorite, there’s no way an occasion can tell you what not to wear — especially if it’s Christmas. After all, if red and green embody joyful festivities, while gold and silver radiate positive energy, well black can sure squeeze in for a seat in the realm of the holiday spirit.
Here are some outfit idea in dominant black that’ll remind you why black is (and will always be) an ever-classic:
Bring out that Little Black Dress
If we’re talking black-colored outfits, then a definite no-brainer ought to be that staple black dress in your closet. There is a myriad of cuts you can choose from but since it’s the holidays, a slip dress or an empire dress would be the perfect choice.
And finally, it’s time to dust off and use those ever-reliable stilettos (but the true blue tita can always opt for block heels).
Shop the look:
A Lady Suit never fails
Now it may be Christmas, but it doesn’t mean you can’t work that corporate look during the holidays. Dawn yourself in a sleek black coat matched with black cigarette pants.
Now there are two options to this: wear a black inner inside and keep the coat unbuttoned, or wear the coat as is with no inner (daring, we know). Either way, you’ll walk in the party owning this look.
Shop the look:
Stand out in leather
Yes, you can finally bring out that impulsive leather skirt you bought because it was just too good not to buy. A leather skirt (or even leather jeans) is a complete stand-out because of it’s quality and texture, one fit for the holidays.
Pair it with a plain black long-sleeved top or a texturized black top. The play in texture will give your outfit a surprisingly good contrast that will work out as a whole.
Shop the look:
Slip in that printed dress
Now when one thinks black clothing, often it’s only assumed as a one-toned spectrum. False. There are a bunch of designs and prints you can choose from — whether it be in plaid, polka dots, or even checkered. Not only are they cute but it pokes some extra fun for the holidays.
For the Christmas season, go a bit daring by choosing a camisole slip dress with a print of your choice. Wear sneakers if you’re feeling casual or some block heels if you want to look taller. A little tip? Bring a black leather jacket for that added flair (and comfort).
Shop the look:
Nothing says Christmas than some shimmer
Black is such a versatile color and when coupled with a design bedazzled with shine and shimmer, it stands the best. You can go for a black fringed paired with classic black trousers.
If you want to go all-out shine, slip in a a classic shift dress paired with strapped heels. Put on a nude-colored lip to give it that balance. This look is too good, too chic — we swear.
Shop the look:
It’s time for the princess dress
Tulle, lace, chiffon, ribbons — we all have an image of that perfect Cinderella dress. Well, thank the Christmas season because it’s the perfect excuse to wear exactly that. But let’s turn make it a bit modern, shall we?
Whether it be mid or ankle-length, nothing says princess than the bottom of the dress flowing down in a silhouette that follows a bell, ruffled, or tiered skirt. Put on a golden hair pin to make the look more dainty, pop in those heels, and you’re good to go (yup, past 12).
