Black summer pieces softened by lace, cotton, linen, raffia, and flat shoes.
Summer Black

Black With Air
Black works in summer when the fabric does the softening. Cotton, linen, lace, open texture, barely-there straps, and simple flats keep it from feeling sealed off from the weather. A straw bag or small pendant can do more than another layer; the point is to keep the color sharp while everything around it stays easy.
