How To Wear Black

Punks, preps, goths, and New York intellectuals...they all wear black. This article will tell you all you need to know about wearing the color black.

Steps
1. Try wearing at least one of the following: earrings, bracelets, necklaces or belts and scarfs. Metallic jewelry is always the best to wear as it looks stylish and fits in with every look.
2. Wear bright accessories near the face as it can bring up the full outfit.
3. When wearing an LBD (little black dress), match the outfit with heels and a smart handbag (clutch bag which has some metallic print on the bag or white prints).
4. Now you have a basic wardrobe, now what to do? There are thousands upon thousands of different styles that emerge from the colour black....(you choose)


Tips
* Wear bright or natural makeup when wearing black.
* Wear black baggy clothes with sneakers (depending on the jeans/bottoms).
* Wear tight fitted black tops with killer heels or smart flat shoes.
* Wear full black skirts like ballerina skirts with netted pantyhose and heavy industrial black bootes and a t-shirt. This will give you a kiddy goth/industrial gothic look. Also try wearing lots of metal bracelates and put your hair in pigtails.
* If you want a sleeck gothic look straighten your hair (if its black) and run vasiline through it. This will give it a greasy look but still look sophisticated if your into that.


Warnings
* When applying makeup, don't apply too much black eyeliner as it can make faces look dull.
* Too much black eyeliner is a trademark of the gothic look so don't put too little on your eyes, lest you look emo.
o If you're going to wear black head to toe, make sure you add at least one accessory so the outfit will not look dull.
* If your wearing makeup on face and you have tanned arms just buy some cream makeup and smear it on your arms and hands then put loose power over it. So it won't rub off you might (and I know this sounds weird) spray hairspay over your arms and makeup will stay on longer and will be less likely to rub off.
