Black is such an easy-to-wear, hassle-free colour. We get it, and we can relate, but sometimes it’s nice to add a pop of colour to your outfit, no? It doesn’t have to be a bright neon shirt or pattern pants. There are so many subtle but smart ways you can add colour to your outfits!
Here are 9 ways you can include colour without compromising too much on your black fit.
Accessories
An outfit is not complete without accessories. A piece of jewelry as simple as a metal chain can make your outfit pop. From necklaces and bracelets to rings and wallet chains, there are so many options to add a little allure to your outfit!
Black Clothes With Brightly Coloured Details
This is definitely a no brainer. A pop of colour in your black tee will definitely make people look twice, and it doesn’t stray far from what you’re comfortable with. They’re also super easy to find, from local brands like Against Lab to international brands like Carhartt.
Headwear
Not only is this an easy way to spice up your outfit, it can definitely help you out on your messy hair days too. Caps, bucket hats, beanies, or even something more boujee like a beret will instantly make your outfit pop.
Sunglasses
Protects your eyes AND elevates your outfit? We have to have it! Look for a frame that compliments your face shape and if you can, invest in a pair that will stay with you for years.
Shoes
You know what they say, the first thing people judge about you are your shoes. If you’re a little iffy about colour on your shoes, try a pair with very small coloured details that look black from afar.
Socks
Coloured socks will instantly add a vibrant touch to your outfit, and you don’t have to compromise your blacked-out look either! Go for socks that end at your mid-calf if you love wearing long pants.
Bags
If you’re worried about having a coloured bag that might not match every outfit, go for neutral tones like tan, dark green, navy, cream, or white. It’s flashy, but it won’t give you a headache when putting an outfit together.
Tech
Phone cases, Airpod cases, and wearable tech like watches can make great vibrant additions to your outfit! What’s great about it is that it’s not permanent and you can always change it up.
Hair
If you want to go the extra mile, dyeing your hair is the way to go. You’ll permanently have a pop of colour to any outfit. This one is a bit bold, but hey, you do you.
