Most women have an entire side of their closet dedicated to\u00a0black shoes and black clothes\u00a0and who can blame them? We&#8217;ve been told by our fashion grandmothers from seasons&#8217; past that black is the ultimate chic. Black is elegant; it flatters everyone; it&#8217;s slimming; it&#8217;s sexy; it&#8217;s EVERYTHING. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">But black can also be boring. If you find yourself just throwing on any old black sweater and jeans by default because it feels safe, you might be using this non-colour\u00a0as a fashion crutch. Summertime is the best time to let go of this dependency and venture into the zone of colour. The sun is out and chances are, you don&#8217;t look pale and dry like you do in the colder months, why not complement that glow with some yellow pants and a bubblegum pink pussy bow blouse? <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Plus, there are so many beautiful pieces out there that aren&#8217;t black, just waiting to be loved. You can jazz up your wardrobe by picking a new summer handbag in a scintillating colour like baby blue or mint or try choosing a shade like pink, for instance, and building up an entire look using varying shades and tones (just make sure the undertones are consistent). If you do pink with warm undertones stick to peach, blush\u00a0or\u00a0rose. If you do pink with cool undertones you can move towards fuchsia, bubblegum or\u00a0cotton candy. Like, doesn&#8217;t that just sound so exciting?\u00a0<\/span>Want to add some colour into your summer wardrobe? Here are 10 reasons NOT to wear black this summer:<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">1. Yeezy Season 2 basically made it OK for all of us to wear terracotta rust as the new basic. Next time you want to throw a black t-shirt on and be cool, just think: What would Kanye do?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Yeezy2Header.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-95678 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Yeezy2Header.jpg\" alt=\"Yeezy2Header\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" srcset=\"https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Yeezy2Header.jpg 750w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Yeezy2Header-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Yeezy2Header-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Yeezy2Header-395x222.jpg 395w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Yeezy2Header-600x338.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">2. Silk slips in navy, red, bone and grey are the new LBD. Pair these babies with a choker necklace and you&#8217;ll wonder why you&#8217;re the envy of every summer love song. We love <a href=\"https:\/\/www.organicbyjohnpatrick.com\/collections\/new-arrivals\/products\/knit-slip?variant=18367330757\" target=\"_blank\">slip dresses by Organic John Patrick<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">3. According to style guru Madame Dariaux, black is actually not a flattering colour for summertime (and never worn before 5pm). If you have a tan, navy is a better choice. Reconsider your black addiction, ladies. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">4. The new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gucci.com\/ca\/en\/ca\/women\/womens-shoes-c-women-shoes\" target=\"_blank\">Gucci collection<\/a>. Alessandro Michele is forcing women (and men) to steer clear of minimalism and buy metallic gold shoes, with furry soles. What are you waiting for? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">5. Think outside your makeup box with NARS summer 2016 eyeshadows and opt for blue lids.
