Black Wardrobe Basics

Black Wardrobe Basics | These are my TOP FIVE picks for summer!

Before I get started with my TOP FIVE list…
I wanted to let you know that I posted “BLACK BASICS”
from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale below.
Keep scrolling to see my picks.

***** 

I love wearing black, even during the summer.
And, lately, on my quest for stylish simplicity, I’ve been wearing LOTS of it.
It is the perfect blank canvas for any accessories.
It is slimming.
And, quite chic!

Also, when you find great, classic pieces, they will work for multiple seasons.

Okay, so let’s get to it!! 

My TOP FIVE “Black Basics” picks for summer!

 #1 | Black Jumpsuit 

The onesie or one-piece jumpsuit is always an EASY, sophisticated option.
One and done.
Throw on your cute jumpsuit, add an accessory or two…
You are out the door.
This cotton jumpsuit with the eyelet detailing, shows off toned shoulders.
And, the drawstring waist highlights your waist. 
BTW, it’s 60% OFF right now. 60%! No code needed.

#2 | Black Skinny Jeans

Do you have a pair of black skinny jeans yet?
If so, do you like them? Are they modern, and flattering?
I LOVE Rag & Bone jeans. I think they retain their shape very well.
They always incorporate modern, edgy details (like zippers in this case).
And, they fit me really well.
You know how some designers’ jeans just work better on your body?

Anyway, this pair has the cool zipper detailing at the hips and also at the ankle.
I LOVE them!!
They run true to size. 

Here is a pair of black skinny jeans I love for LESS. 

#3 | Black Off-Shoulder Top 

If there was ONE trend I would say is the biggest standout of the summer, heading into the fall season…
It would be off-shoulder tops and dresses.
It’s ALL about the shoulders.
A great, classic, black, off-shoulder top will carry you well into fall/winter.
Try it layered over a slim-fitting, white button shirt when it gets really chilly. 

This exact top runs a bit short. Wear with high-rise jeans.
It’s ONLY $45. Size UP one full size. 

I also like this one by Free People (if you would like a longer version).

#4 | The Summer LBD

We all have to have one of these.
The dress we can throw on in a second, run out the door, and look pulled together.
We also need one that provides ‘breathing room’ …if you know what I mean.
In case we are bloated, have put on a few LB’s, or simply want to eat Fettuccini Alfredo. 

You could be four months pregnant in this trapeze dress from Loft and no one would know.
It highlights toned shoulders.
It’s incredibly comfortable…
And, it’s 60% OFF!! No code needed.
I bought size XS. Runs big! 

#5 | The Lace-Up Sandal

Black sandals are a summer MUST-HAVE.
And, if you are looking for a slightly more ‘trendy’ pair… the “Lyla” is a GREAT option!
I love the chunky heel. It makes them current, but also easier to walk in. 
(Isn’t it great when fashion and function merge?)
Also…LACE-UP is hot, hot, hot at the moment. 
And, it’s a trend that is here to stay for a while.

Lyla also comes in chestnut and taupe.
