Black Summer Outfits: Lace, Cotton and Linen

Black summer pieces softened by lace, cotton, linen, raffia, and flat shoes.

Best black summer outfits feel light when the fabric does the work. I’m looking at a beaded halter, a strapless linen mini dress, black linen pants, and softly structured jersey from HANSEN + GRETEL, Venroy, TA3, and LESET, finished with simple pendant necklaces for a little contrast.

Black With Air

Black works in summer when the fabric does the softening. Cotton, linen, lace, open texture, barely-there straps, and simple flats keep it from feeling sealed off from the weather. A straw bag or small pendant can do more than another layer; the point is to keep the color sharp while everything around it stays easy.
