Fade to Black - Vogue Paris Part 3

Basic black is the ultimate in easy timelessness.  Black is always flattering, and investing in statement black pieces will give you wardrobe staples that you will wear season after season and always feel in style.  Pair back to creamy pastels and soft chiffon silhouettes for an edgy yet feminine look.  Jil Sander, and Hugo Boss offer chic black suiting, and YSL again gives us a great mensy tux silhouette, a look that Yves himself built the entire brand around.
