As someone who loved to watch hollywood movies back in my teenage years, I used to think head-to-toe black outfit was only suitable for occasion like funeral service. And Reminiscing on the memorial of pop star, Michael Jackson, where head-to-black outfits overshadowed the Staples Center in Los Angeles, it was more like black was synonymous with the dead. Here in Africa, Nigeria precisely, black was one of those rare colors you’d ever see a woman wear.
But thanks to the birth of social media and fashionistas, style mavens who reinvented the shades of black in fashion-forward twist. Head-to-toe black is no longer funeral-bound or a dampener that can put on the mood, but a go-to combo when you have nothing to wear as well as when in doubt. That reminds me of Coco Chanel that once said, “Women think of all colors except the absence of color. I have said that black has it all.”
Without going further, and not surprisingly, at Fashion Police Nigeria, we feel the same like the style icon Coco Chanel. So we’ve rounded up 8 ways to help you nail the head-to-toe black outfit combo:
