Why I Still Wear Black in the Summer

Okay, hear me out, I know in the summer you’re supposed to wear lots of white, bright fun colors, earthy tones, and tans, but let me tell you why I will always still wear black outfits every summer!

First off, black is timeless, effortless and versatile. It’s easy to style with tons of summer accessories like hats, flip flops, big beachy bags, etc. so whether you’re heading to a beach party, meeting up with friends for a BBQ, or having dinner at a rooftop bar, you’ll be feeling like you actually got ready and put effort into your outfit for the day! *winning*

Secondly, black hides sweat marks way better than lighter colors—a lifesaver when its a million degrees out all summer! There is not much worse than running into someone you know while profusely sweating through your shirt LOL And as long as you’re choosing the right fabric - think lightweight cotton, breathable linen, or flowy chiffon. These materials will help you stay comfortable and less sweaty.

Lastly, black is effortlessly flattering! Whether it’s a dress, top, shorts, etc. black is flattering to the eye and your body. I always reach for a black outfit when I’m having one of those “I don’t like anything I try on” days and immediately feel better and more confident!
