The Italian Secret to Looking Chic & Sophisticated is the Color Black

Go Gold this season. I have been talking a lot about black. Black can be many things, it’s magic really. It can make you look slimmer, more sophisticated, sexy, and incredibly professional. Overall, black is a winning color for most people’s wardrobes or I suppose just for most people. But you know what you should never forget, is metallic. And no, I am not talking about the trendy, overly bright 80’s colors that have made a very unfortunate comeback. I’m talking about keeping it simple and classy with silver and gold. Add just a touch of gold to your black evening dress and you have turned something so simple into the dress of the night. I think sometimes, we really do have to realize that less can be more. Making those simple adjustments to your wardrobe, like a hint of colored accents to black can go a long way. I have to say this has been a good rule of thumb even for myself. I, too, have fallen into Italian ways, I wear black all the time but I’m also obligated to wear black at work. So, I casually throw in just a hint of color every now and then. It keeps things exciting and that way I can steer clear from the monotony of all black, all the time.
