Exploring Washington, DC in an All-Black classic chic outfit with an edgy kick. Where Classic Meets Edgy.
Classic Meets Edgy
Washington DC’s vibrant streets provided the perfect backdrop for this sleek, all-black outfit. I opted for a tailored blazer and sleek black turtleneck combo paired with cropped straight-leg denim to keep the look modern and polished. Accessories were key – my Classic Chanel bag added a touch of sophistication, while gold jewelry gave the outfit that statement pop. The timeless loafers elevated the look even further for an effortless polished vibe.
Style Tips for Effortless Chic:
- Opt for Monochrome: Monochrome is Magic! All Black keeps it sleek and sophisticated.
- Mix Textures with Statement Accessories: Gold chains and quilted bags add contrast, texture and depth.
- Balance Structure with Softness: A structured blazer paired with denim creates the perfect balance.
Bonus Style Tip: The Perfect Pant Length
The most flattering length for denim that allow for the most versatility is at or 1″ above your ankle bone. This is considered a “Crop,” and will allow for all styles of footwear – high heels, sneakers, high tops, ankle boots, flats and sandals. Cuffing your jeans once also allows a fresh clean way to style your denim. For wide-leg jeans keep the length and consider purchasing two pairs – one for sneakers and flats, and one for high heels and heeled boots. Yes that means 2 pairs of wide-leg or any style that needs to fall over your shoe to the floor.
