Looks We Love: Black Denim
By Lindsey Pipia, Contributing Writer
Fall is here, and as we make our transition from summer florals to fall knits, it’s time to decide which staples to keep and which ones to put in storage for another nine months. A trend worth keeping at the forefront of your closet is black denim. The more I thought about it, I realized just how perfect black denim really is for fall. You get a trendy, comfortable piece that doesn’t look too summer-y and is extremely versatile. Inspired and excited to style this trend for the season, I decided to share with you some of my favorite black denim looks.
Look 1: Day and Night
I’m obsesed with Gigi Hadid’s look here! The long oversized denim paired with black over-the-knee boots is the perfect look for a chic night out. Not feeling it for a nighttime vibe? Throw it over a white v-neck tucked into a black leather skirt with black tights and black booties and you’ll feel as if you’re on the streets of Paris during fashion week. Don’t stress about doing your hair either! The high ponytail works here, making the look feel effortless and cool at the same time.
Look 2: Your Boyfriend’s Jeans
Kendall Jenner is the QUEEN of street style. I love the idea of oversized, baggy jeans with a belt cinched at the waist to really show off your shape. The white boots help pull this look together, giving off a more edgy, rock ‘n’ roll vibe. If you’re hesitant to try this look, I recommend pairing the jeans with a white, strapless crop top [think classic Brandy Melville] and hang a black leather jacket over your shoulders. Dress it down with a pair of white sneakers!
Look 3: Little Black Denim Skirt
If there’s one black denim staple you need this fall, it’s a black denim skirt! It’s the perfect piece to stay in your closet year-round. Here, Bella Hadid opted to pair it with a black denim jacket layered on top of a red and black sweater. The pop of red really helped make her standout in an otherwise all black ensemble. Not ready for the denim on denim look? Wear the mini with black tights, black booties and a red sweater. The perfect combo of comfort and style!
