Why do some people look totally chic in all black and some people (me) look like a stage hand in a play?

I feel like I can pull it off dressed up but I need to crack the code on casual wear. Or maybe just do some shopping!!!

I feel like you’re summoning me here haha! The majority of my wardrobe is black and like @serendipity said, textures, shapes, pops of color, & accessories will go a long way.

Identifying what you like (or don’t like) about all black will help guide you too!

Ooh interesting- I like that. Can you give me some inspo for what different shapes you’re thinking of? Like flowy/movement up top and tighter bottoms or something else?

the key to wearing black and not looking like a stage hand I've learned is playing with shape and texture! The stage hand look is all black and usually one tone but adding shape, texture, and a pop of color with bolder accessories really help make the whole outfit come together!
