This isn’t quite me, age-wise or fashion-wise. I favour a black polo neck with black jeans and decorated black boots.
Years ago a friend asked me why I was hiding. When I asked why she said that wearing all black was seen as not wanting to be seen. I laughed and told her that when I’m in all black I’m feeling good, coming at you, and ready to take the world by storm.
A colour-specialist also told me that black came into the room before I did, and suggested navy. I’m not concerned by alleged problem as it’s very hard not to notice me, for some reason.
People have so many opinions, but the important thing for anyone is to feel right in their clothes, if you do, they’re working. As to black with black, I can generally match blacks, which makes life easier.
So saying, I was going to a Christmas do once and put on a black silk skirt, black sparkly top, and black cardigan. The scream bought hubby running into the room, knowing that there was some kind of wardrobe emergency. I expected him to laugh, but all he said was “how is it possible that those three blacks don’t work together?” So it’s not fool proof, but most of the time it works.
What’s right for you is right. Plus the night sky is beautiful.
