Black is always a classic pick. While there are many that seem to not appreciate it's timelessness, it's simplicity can easily be elevated with pops of color and even the tiniest detail within the fabric itself.
My biggest issue with black is that it's rarely seen paired with dark hues. A mixture of navy or touches of brown can change an outfit entirely and can most definitely work based on the pieces that are being mixed. Take this outfit for example, an awesome wide leg, high waisted trouser* paired with a cropped black sweater. The pops of color found in the accessories is enough to keep this outfit simple. However, the added touch of tan moccasins and a deep brown bomber creates a casual and trendy ensemble, that anyone can pull off.
*Note: When pairing a jacket with a wide legged pant .. always, always, always make sure that the cut is flattering. Problems can arise when a jacket is cut too long and results in creating bulk.
