What do you turn to when you can’t decide what to wear? Many of us turn to simplicity. For me, if I’m truly stumped, I settle for black. An all-black outfit is a timeless and classic look that can be both sophisticated and edgy. Wearing black from head to toe can create a sleek and slimming effect, making it a popular choice among fashion enthusiasts and celebrities alike.
One of the key benefits of an all-black outfit is its versatility. It can be dressed up or down, depending on the occasion. For a casual daytime look, a black t-shirt paired with black jeans and sneakers can create a laid-back, effortless vibe. For a more formal event, a black dress or suit can make a bold statement and exude elegance. If you want to add a festive touch to an all black outfit for the holidays, I have some ideas you can try!
Metallics
If traditional red and green are not to your taste, why not add a bit of metallic? This pretty lace blouse from Lovestitch can easily shine on its own. However adding layered silver necklaces, a silver belt, and silver shoe charms to the strap of my heels adds a glitz and glam vibe suitable for the holidays.

Colored Accessories
Perhaps you are more of a traditionalist. In that case, try choosing red or green to add to your black outfit. This black a-line A velvet blazer really amps up the holiday vibe. By adding more green with a gorgeous Teddy Blake bag and green heels, the look becomes more festive, eye-catching, and memorable.

Bow-utiful
Another way to add a festive touch to an all black outfit is with small accessories. There are many iconic symbols of the Christmas season such as bows, stars, trees, crosses, and more. By accessorizing with these symbols, you automatically exude festivity when others see your outfit. I added bow earrings (with red tassels of course!) and clip-on bows to my heels. They are the perfect way to switch up heels for a fraction of the price. There are also bow bracelets, brooches, or a velvet hair bow.

Darker Shades
Perhaps the traditional colors are a bit too bold? Why not try accessorizing your black outfit with darker shades of red and green? Give burgundy and teal a shot. These darker shades look quite nice together whether you only add them with accessories or combine them for an entire outfit. I added earrings, a headband, flats, and my new bag.
What I especially love about the Teddy Blake Vera is the unique shape. It really stands apart. It’s big enough for everyday use, but the quality and shape give it an elevated vibe. There is so much space inside as well! It can easily hide gifts until you get them up to your room to hide (haha!). And there are a few zippered compartments that can hold a wallet and phone. The sides also snap so you can open the top wider or close it. It can be carried by its handles or worn crossbody. There is a lot of versatility in this bag! Use code TBidodeclaire30 for $30 off!
