Love wearing head-to-toe black? You’re not alone, we’re big fans of a tonal look. Defaulting to an all-black outfit on the surface might seem like it lacks excitement, but this subtle tone packs a punch when done right.

There is a reason why some of our favourite style icons revert to the all-black outfit. Minimum effort, maximum reward. The psychology of wearing black suggests it conveys feelings of confidence, intelligence, and reliability, in fact this colour is mostly associated with things we value highly. It’s also discrete and has a connotation of sexiness without the loudness.

When we want to make a long term wardrobe investment if given the choice between black and an alternative, it’s always black. Why? This is the colour that will last the test of time. Its seasonless appeal transcends trends, years and decades.
