Why Every Woman Needs THAT Chic Black Top Right Now!

For most of us, this time of year is extraordinarily busy. On top of your already hectic schedule, we often add extra shopping, cooking, decorating and entertaining. And, the last thing you want to worry about is… what to wear; What to wear to the parties, dinners, dates, school performances…etc. So…when you find yourself in overwhelm and you’re staring at that pile of clothes you just tried on, remember this catchy little phrase, “When in doubt, get your black top out.”

This is your simple style strategy for success this season. When in doubt, wear a black top with dark pants or jeans, dark shoes and a few accessories. That’s it! You follow this formula and you’ll look chic Every.Single.Time. Why…? Because black tops are slimming, chic, versatile, and tend to look luxe regardless of the fabric or quality. I’m sharing five beautiful, next-level, black tops I’ve picked up recently that I’ll wear again and again to help me feel confident and look chic.

Huge thank you to Saks Fifth Avenue for sponsoring this post. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Most Comfortable Jeans Ever

Styling your black top with a nice pair of jeans and a few chic accessories creates the perfect outfit for date night, dinners, GNO, parties, etc. I’m wearing a pair of jeans that deserve their own spotlight. They are maybe the most comfortable pairs of jeans I’ve ever put on my body. If you’re a longtime subscriber, you understand the gravity of that comment because I own a LOT of jeans. They’re incredibly soft and lightweight, they drape so well, aren’t tight anywhere, and feel great on the waist and tummy. I love the flattering wide legs and the loose, trouser-like fit. They run a little big, grab them in a size down from your normal size.

Chic Accessories

To complete your simple, black top outfit, you’ll want to add some chic accessories. I recently got this cute black crossbody bag by Loeffler Randall that’s chic and sophisticated, I love the woven design and the sleek gold hardware.

Next, I added a gorgeous gold necklace by Alexis Bittar with sparkly crystal pave details. You don’t need this exact necklace to recreate this look. But adding an impactful necklace to complement the v-neckline looks really nice and is a wonderful finishing touch to an outfit. You could also opt for statement earrings.

Lastly, I went with a pair of black booties by Schutz that are very versatile and basic. They have a dressy stiletto heel and flattering pointed toe. I always wear black booties during this time of year because it’s so cold and I want to be able to wear socks.
