5 TIPS TO WEAR BLACK IN SUMMER

Hello guys! Its getting warmer in New York and with summer approaching I’ve been trying to find ways to wear black and not die in the heat. I have always loved wearing all black but particularly leather jackets, tights or pants but those are winter things, so how do I stay commited to my style and basically still wear a black look? I put a little list together based on this outfit that could give you some ideas!
- Crop tops 24/7. Wearing black doesn’t has to be a problem if instead of wearing a black t-shirt that would suck up all the heat, you can opt for a small crop. I usually go for my mid rib uncovered and it keeps me cool.
- Translate your winter looks to summer: I love wearing leather jackets but obviously summer you can’t do that, so I love I wear leather pieces for bottoms such as a leather minis or shorts (that way you can wear a small top and still be cool in the heat.)
- Add a touch of texture: Crop tops can sometimes be boring when you wear them every single day, so I like to spice the look up by wearing a lace bra under. That would add a litle something of texture to the whole look! This time I wore a black one but I also do white or even red, depending on the top!
- Accessorize: since I can’t wear too many pieces and layer, accessories become your best friend in summer. Love adding a pair of tinted sunnies to add a touch of color that would stand out from all the black. Another way is adding a belt with chains or hoops.
- Wear that flannel or printed cardigan/blouse on your waist: if you’re like me that tends to do all black and throw something on top (usually flannels), I don’t leave that piece at home but tie it on my waist! You still get the look and don’t sacrifice being comfortable.
Hope you guys find these tips helpful if you want to commit to your style during warmer weather and not feel limited! hope you all have an amazing day!

Hola a todos!
Ya casi es verano en Nueva York y con este clima calido, he estado tratando de encontrar maneras de llevar negro y no morir de calor! Siempre he amado usar todo negro pero en invierno eso es mucho mas facil, amo las casacas de cuero, medias y pantalones negros. En el verano un look negro se basaria en pocas prendas asi que les he puesto una lista de como vestir de negro en verano manteniendo su estilo y no verse tan simple!
- Crop tops 24/7: Llevar negro no tiene que ser un problema si en lugar de usar una camiseta negra que absorbe todo el calor, puedes optar por un crop pequeño. Normalmente los llevo super cortos ya me gusta tener un poco de piel descubierta y mantenerme fresca.
- Traducir looks de invierno a verano: me encanta usar chaquetas de cuero, pero obviamente verano no se puede hacer eso, así que uso prendas cuero cortas en la parte de abajo en lugar de casacas… como un minis o shorts como los de este look.
- Un toque de textura: Los crop tops a veces pueden volverse aburridos cuando se usan todos los días, así que puedes darle un toque de textura al look usando sostenes de encaje debajo que sean mas largos y que se vean! En este caso use uno negro pero tambien puede ser blanco o incluso rojo, dependiendo del top.
- Accesorios accesorios y mas accesorios: los accesorios se vuelven mis mejores amigos. Un par de lentes con luna de color puede agregar ese poquito de color o un cinturón con cadenas y aros puede hacer la diferencia si llevan shorts super simples.
- Usar esas capas (como camisas de cuadros) en la cintura: si eres como yo que ama usar todo negro con camisas de franela o una blusa con estampado, en lugar de dejarla en casa puedes llevarla a la cintura y asi no comprometer la comodidad en un dia demasiado caliente.
Espero que estos consejos les sean un toque utiles para mantener su estilo en esos dias de mucho calor 🙂 que tengan un lindo dia!

Points 2, 3, and 5 seem very doable. I would love to try experimenting with my style a lot more, especially because I don’t usually wear a lot of colour. These are great summer style tips for people who dress like us! Thanks, Lua <3
