You all know how I love a monochrome black outfit and here is one again! I can be so in love with green, and at the moment browns, but black will always be my favourite colour and a monochrome black outfit my favourite look. To a hole lot of women that is to boring for words. I can totally understand that when you love colours. Luckily we are all different right?
I can’t even imagine that pleated skirts weren’t in fashion, but it wasn’t that long ago. They became popular in the late 1940s, when there was enough fabric available again to use more fabric. But the origins of the pleated skirt go back much further. You can all Google that yourself if you want to.
Monochrome black with a new pleated skirt
But after the 40s, the pleated skirt was seen as frumpy for quite a long time. I can not remember my grandmother or mother ever wore a pleated skirt. Actually only noticed them when I was at the start of my blogging life back in 2015. I saw a blogger who only wore pleated skirts. And at first my thoughts were: mm, a bit outdated isn’t it? And soon I started to appreciate them a lot. Fortunately, we can no longer imagine the fashion world without them and there is plenty of choice in length and colour.
And speaking of colour, I found another nice black one. Of course, I already had one in black, but you get the idea: this one is completely different! And it really is. Asymmetrical with a kind of overlap. Nice and wide, so the skirt follows behind you when you walk and makes a sound, haha, I just think that is very feminine.
How to wear a total black outfit
I wear a basic knit sweater that I also have in burgundy. And gold cuffs and other gold accessories. And leather boots. Whenever I wear a monochrome outfit, I try to use many different textures. Wool, leather, suède etc. Otherwise it would feel like a colum to much. Different textures add interest. It’s a super simple look that I feel at my best in.
If I were going out I would wear a leather biker jacket on top. And I could have worn a short jacket on top indoors, but I didn’t feel like doing that right now. Then you might think, yes, but for a little more interest on the blog you should have done that. I completely agree with you. But unfortunately, how you see me on the blog is who I am. And that is often with a simple, probably not interesting outfit at all. The way I see it: the skirt already draws all the attention to her and then everyone else has to keep their mouths shut, so to speak. So that! I prefer to wear monochrome looks and black is my favourite colour. So yeah, lots of black monochrome looks here. I love it!
