Happy Monday, friends!!! I hope you had a nice weekend. Today I’m styling an all black outfit for fall. I love an all black outfit. It’s so chic and sophisticated and a little mysterious. Plus, I tend to have a lot of black in my wardrobe, so I can almost always pull an all black outfit together at the last minute when I don’t know what else to wear.
AllSaints bomber jacket (S) (budget option) // Treasure & Bond sweater (M) // Frame Le Slim Palazzo (29) (similar for less) // Sam Edelman boots (8) // Hammitt crossbody // similar hoop earrings // Evereve necklace // VE bracelet // YSL sunnies (similar for less)
I have a ton of blue denim right now, so I’ve been looking to add a black pair in a more modern silhouette, and these Frame Le Slim Palazzo caught my eye. I like how they’re cut close through the hips and bottom and hang straight from hip to hem. The raw hem adds a little bit of texture to the look, and also makes the jeans easy to shorten if you want.
Bomber jackets are having a moment right now, but they’re also a classic style that you can keep for years. Mine is the AllSaints Orten from the #NSale, so I got a really good deal on it. I love the minimalistic design and the luxe black leather, but if you’re looking for a similar option for less, Quince has a washed leather bomber for under $200, and this vegan leather version is only $40 right now at Gap Factory.
I always try to incorporate a mix of textures when I wear a monochromatic look, so I chose a simple crewneck sweater as my base layer. It was a warm day, so I went with short sleeves, but when it gets colder, I have several long sleeve options in my closet to choose from.
For accessories, I wore a pair of chunky silver hoops and a mixed metal 3-strand necklace. I also grabbed this cool connected cobra bracelet set that I just got in from Victoria Emerson. These pieces add some shine to the look, and I like how they relate to the silver hardware on the jacket. I also wore a black belt with silver hardware.
I like these jeans with a bit of a heel, and I feel like booties offset the leather bomber better than a pair of pumps. I first grabbed my black leather booties but I went with suede since the jacket is leather, and I wanted to add a different texture to the monochromatic look.
These Sam Edelman pointed toe booties with the skinny heel are from last year, and I found them for a great price at Nordstrom Rack. They’re very comfortable and still right on trend. If you need a pair like this, I would definitely recommend these.
Finally, this Hammitt VIP Fold Over Crossbody with the gunmetal hardware seemed like a good choice for a bag, although this would have been a good opportunity to add a pop of color or pattern. Maybe next time…
And here’s one more bonus picture. This time I threw my jacket over my shoulders. I won’t lie, it feels rather awkward. Maybe it’s because it’s kind of slippery inside, but it didn’t stay put very well. Anyway! It’s another option.
