A GUIDE TO WEARING BLACK

Amongst all the colours, prints, and shimmering sequins, we cannot deny that black clothing is a well-loved, trusted, and essential part of every woman's wardrobe. 

At Motto Fashions, we've got your back with our range of styles from classic to sexy, and everything in between to ensure you are always looking your best. As black is essentially neutral, it does indeed go with nearly every colour of the rainbow. 

Whether you've got a special occasion coming up or just want to feel put together during your 9-5, we've got you covered when it comes to wearing black and finding the perfect outfit every time. 

We have all been through the struggle of deciding what to wear and that is why we have put together a bit of a guide to make it as simple as possible while incorporating black. 

Work to Weekend

So the work week is coming to a close and you have plans to meet friends at the local wine bar for a few well-deserved drinks. Of course, looking professional is at the forefront of your style but you need an outfit that is sleek and comfortable enough to transition you from desk to daiquiris with ease! 

Our go-to for this scenario is easy as 1,2,3.

1. Opt for a black tailored blazer.  A blazer is a wardrobe staple, and we are certain you will have one or two ready to go. Whether it is a longline, cropped, or tailored design. A blazer is a good place to start.
2. A white shirt or camisole. You can't go wrong with a classic shirt - gone are the days when shirts were saved for suiting businessmen in high-rise buildings. The humble shirt is an absolute classic and has the ability to elevate your look in an instant. With a few buttons undone and your cuffs rolled up - you can transform your look for an instant cool-girl aesthetic. 
3. Jeans. Denim Jeans are a great option for the end-of-week wind-up and suit just about everyone!

Pop on some earrings, and your favourite pair of heels and you are good to go!

Date Night

It's about time you had a date night. Whether you are heading out with your beau or maybe you just need a catch-up with your best friend. Either way, it's a good excuse to dress up a little bit. And when it comes to picking an outfit, you can't go wrong with something that's a little different from your 9-5 wardrobe. A skirt is a perfect choice. Our collection of skirts ranges from sequin pencil skirts to wrap designs trimmed in feathers - a little fun a flirty and look just as good worn with a t-shirt and sneakers as they do elevate with a silky blouse and heels for more luxurious settings and of course opting for black is the easiest way to ramp up the glamour.
