I wear a lot of colors with my jeans on this blog, but lately I’ve been feeling a deep, dark desire to swathe myself in navy, grays and black. From head to toe. It has something to do with winter, and a lot to do with New York. I know it sounds cliche, but people really do wear a lot of black here.

To me, adding texture and shape is the best way to avoid looking like The Wicked Witch of Soho when wearing lots of black. With super-skinny dark rinse jeans, try a light, soft black sweater (like this one) layered under a contrastingly sharp and slick black blazer like this tuxedo jacket by Smythe. For extra quirk and character, circular sunglasses are both retro and playful.
