When in doubt, wear black! Seriously, it should be a tagline—you can count on it every time. We’ve all had those mornings when you open your closet and feel like you have nothing to wear, even if your wardrobe is overflowing. For me, the solution is simple: go all-black. It’s effortless, chic, and always works.
Take this outfit, for example. Each piece is simple on its own, but together they create a polished, minimalistic look. The Everlane black cashmere sweater has quickly become a staple in my wardrobe—it comes in seven colors, but the black is an absolute classic. I paired it with slim black jeans and my favorite leather jacket for instant sophistication.
To soften the monochrome and add a touch of warmth, I added tan suede booties, a wide-brimmed brown hat, and my Celine handbag. The combination of black with subtle brown accents always feels so smart and pulled-together. And yes, if you’re debating whether you need a black leather jacket, the answer is a resounding yes. A great leather jacket elevates even the simplest outfit—just like this one.
