Riveting Preview: All Black Outfits
Here’s a preview of Fashion Five on my new newsletter Riveting. Every Sunday, I’ll share five ideas and content usually focused on menswear. I’ll also share a fit from a friend, stranger, or myself and breakdown why I like it.
My friend Yeng is a writer and event host based in Brooklyn, New York.
Wearing an all-black outfit is a cheat code in fashion. No matter your skin tone, black looks great on everyone. Black garments can be dressed up for an elegant look, or dressed down for a casual look. Combined in a monochromatic all-black outfit, it gives the illusion of a slimmer and taller frame by hiding shadows and contouring the body.
All-black outfits are almost too easy at times and it takes skill to make an all-black outfit pop. Yeng does this by focusing on the details and wearing elevated pieces including a Lemaire Uniqlo U coat (I love overcoats), Acronym Cargo Trousers, and Redback boots.
