Wearing black clothing is one of the best fashion options and alternatives that exist, as it is a color that goes well with everything. We can use it basically anytime, anywhere, anytime. If you want to see it like this: it is the most elegant color in the color spectrum. For these reasons that we have just listed, many times we trust ourselves and wear black clothes, but we do not pay attention to those details that could ruin our look in a matter of a few seconds.
We give you some tips to wear black and not make mistakes in the attempt. Take them into consideration the next time you decide to wear black clothes!
#1: Use it for all, absolutely all occasions
As we said before, this color has great promise that it will make you look great no matter what your age, complexion or style is. However, this should not lead you to want to wear black for everything and every occasion (weddings, meetings, work, meals, etc). It is good that you are a lover of the color black, but there will always be occasions that deserve to stand out and wear this color and not an everyday thing. Putting different colors and combining different garments will always be the best option.
#2: Do not experiment
Try to make the black color the base to combine and experiment with other colors and textures. Black is like a blank canvas where you can paint whatever you want. That is why you should not fall into monotony or play it safe. We advise you to experiment with fluorescent or pastel colors and textures or floral patterns for men! You will make everything stand out.
#3: Not being careful with cleaning
Wearing black should be a great hygiene responsibility, and just like white, stains can look fatal. Not because it is a dark garment you should neglect cleaning. On the contrary, you must be aware of any detail or stain that exists in black garments. PS: be extra careful with deodorant stains, those are usually very visible.
#4: Wear faded clothes
The wear and tear of the garments can be seen in all the clothes. Unfortunately, in the black color it is usually even more noticeable; Whether in pants, shirts or clothing, you should pay attention that discoloration does not play tricks on you over time. Do not give a sloppy look with a garment that should already be retired.
#5: Not paying attention to details
When you use the black color everything must count; from wearing it correctly with accessories that will make it stand out — like a watch, bracelets or chains — to paying attention to those areas of your body that you want to highlight or hide. Black can help you in many areas, but in others it can play against you. All details must be taken into account. The key is to know how to combine it properly and take advantage of it.
#6: Wash Them Wrong
There are certain recommendations on how to wash your black clothes; for example, washing it with special detergents, turning the clothes and with cold water. You should never put black —or dark— clothes in the washing machine with light or white ones, because they will be dyed and everything will end up being a disaster.
A very important point is not to fall into the monotony of always using the color black. Even so, if you want to wear it at all times, we advise you to find and create combinations that make you stand out and look good with each outfit you decide to wear. Use the black color in your favor!
