Summer Black

Summer Black

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

Best black summer outfits feel light when the fabric does the work. I’m looking at a beaded halter, a strapless linen mini dress, black linen pants, and softly structured jersey from HANSEN + GRETEL, Venroy, TA3, and LESET, finished with simple pendant necklaces for a little contrast.

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.
