It’s a Trench's World…And We Are Just Living In It.

Let’s talk about a classic outerwear, the Trench coat.

I have always been a fan of Trench jackets. They are really just a timeless and effortless piece. By putting one on you automatically feel so sophisticated. Bring your outfit a notch higher.

They go so well with any of your looks. Perfect for that first day of spring, where it is warm but chilly in the shade. Those rainy days where it just feels right to put on your trench jacket.

I fall in love with this trench coat from H&M the moment I stepped the store. The color is just perfect, the length is just right for me, and the fit is nice. There is many types of trench coat but that is for another time (new style post for them soon).

I already knew how I am going to style the jacket, with a slim-fit forest green suit, also from H&M.  I love the color combination of the forest green and tan. Be on the look out for forest green as it will be the color for this fall.

Esemplastic

Everyone know the saying of "work hard, play harder", right? Well, I do believe that you do deserve to have fun and let loose once in a while. Working hard for your future is great and all. But if you not take the time to actually enjoy what you've been working hard for then you will end up losing yourself. That used to be my life when I was living in New York City. I was busy working and not living. Took me awhile to realize that your happiness is worth more than you think.

Today's blog post is your guide to rocking all black look, but don't get too crazy to the point you look goth (which in case if that is what you are going for then rock on!). I teamed up with Perry Ellis and Creative Recreation to show you how to can style your all black outfit effortless.

Step 1:

Make sure all of your black pieces are the same tone and shade of black. Let's get one thing straight. Just because the color is black, it doesn't necessary mean is going to be the same shade or tone. So double check.

Step 2:

Play with the fabric and texture of the pieces. When wearing one color head to toe, you have to play up the fabric to create some contrast in the look. That is when the smallest detail matters.

Step 3:

Footwear is very important here. You don't want match the color of the footwear completely to your outfit. Play it up by wearing a pair shoe with a white sole. For example, the shoes that I am wearing in this post is all black with white sole. Or a pair of white shoes would work fine too.

Throwback

I think we can all agree that you can never wear too much black or have enough black pieces in your wardrobe. I lost count of how many black shoes I have in my closet. It's always my first color option when buying new footwear.

One of my most recent footwear that I got is my "Duke" boots from Thursday Boots. I have been wearing them nonstop. They are so comfortable to wear. I can walk hours in them and not feel like my feet are numb from the pain. 

These boots can speaks for itself when paired with any of your looks. They are so stylish that you don't need to worry about it clashing with your outfit.

Today's blog post I am styling the boots with a very simple look.

Going for a rugged look, I am pairing the boots with a pair of nice black fitted jean. By wearing a fitted jean you keep the look clean and able to pair it with a loose shirt like the print shirt I am wearing. Finish the top layer with a simple jacket. An option piece is an oversize winter coat.
