The desaturated color has been really popular lately. But be careful! The desaturated color can look high fashion when the whole outfit are desaturated color, otherwise it will loos kind shaded and dirty feeling by compare with saturated color.

Black Color

Black color plays an important role in fashion, especially with white. They always great with each other. But in certain item, black and white would only cause weird look. Simple example: white socks and black leather shoes for men. This is absolutely NO. Everybody knows it. But do you know that black pants with white shoes also not matching? Especially when you don’t have any white element in the outfit.

It’s not an absolutely No case like white socks and black leather shoes, it depends. The loose sport pants may work fine but the black tights would look little bit weird.

My suggestion would be wear all black bottom or shows some area of the leg to balance the strong contrast of the black and white color.

Another No case for black it’s not match black color with dark color. Black+black it’s cool and modern, but black+dark it’s too mature in a bad way. Especially when you with someone colorful like the picture, it’s too much.

Black color still need some accent color in the whole outfit so it won’t feel too heavy and balanced the mature of the color.
