How to wear black in the summer (without looking like a killjoy)

Black is back and bigger than ever - from Givenchy to Calvin Klein Collection, and everywhere in between, this sultry shade is the key to sleek summer dressing. You don't have to wear ditsy prints and bright pops of colour to look fresh this summer.

Pair a silky slip with a black denim skirt and button down shirt for a look that screams off-duty cool. Evening is all about tailored black jackets and that LBD you're wardrobe can't live without.

Mixing in rich textures like a crushed velvet city short will give any monochrome outfit a modern twist. Team with a relaxed coton tee and black leather slide and you're good to go.
