6 All-Black Outfits You'll Wish You Were Wearing Right Now
Whoever says black is boring is lacking imagination. Mind you, I’m biased since all black is my go-to for pretty much every occasion in life.
The key is to play with contrasting textures to give an all-black outfit the dimension it craves. Think, shiny patent leathers, cotton, gabardine wools, velvet, faux-croc, lambskin leather, chunky knits, silks, lace, you get the point.
While you’re there, play around with your accessories as well. A grommet leather belt like the one Maja Wyh is wearing below will break up a pair of black jeans and a black t-shirt. A strappy leather sandal will look amazing with a midi-cargo skirt and ribbed tube top like seen on Pernille Teisbaek. Add some sleek sunglasses, gold jewelry, and a little Prada handbag, and you’re set.
Black On Black Outfit Ideas
1// CASUAL ALL BLACK
Maja Wyh wearing black jeans with a leather grommet belt, topped off classic black double breasted blazer with brass buttons. Pay attention to the small details to make an all black outfit come to life.
2// ROCK ALL BLACK TO YOUR NEXT MEETING
Mary Kate Olsen wears a silk blouse that happens to be causally open, which so perfectly shows off her gold chain. It seems like she’s wearing a silk jacket over top. She opts for gabardine wool trousers in a wide leg cut that gives her a sophisticated air. I love the addition of the aviator glasses that say , “Don’t mess with me.”
3 & 4 // WEAR HEAD TO TOE BLACK LIKE A FASHION GIRL
Yoyo Cao and Pernille Teisbaek wear all black during Milan Fashion week. Yoyo rocks the Prada combat boots which turned the fashion world upside down at the end of 2019. I love how she pairs them with a black utility inspired trench with not one, but two belts! Genius!
Pernille wears a utility inspired midi skirt, contrasting it with a feminine tube top. I love the delicate heels she’s wearing in contrast to the boxy Prada bag and large gold chain. It’s all about the subtle balance and contrast with her.
5// THE DATE NIGHT LOOK
Nothing says date night like a beautiful shoe. Here, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley wears her leather cross-over sandals with a gold ankle bracelet. (Why do I have the feeling these are making a comeback?)
Her pleated trousers show off her waist, while her blouse gives the outfit a playful quality, even though it’s cut high at the neck.
Opt for a blouse with voluminous sleeves if you want to take your outfit to another level. Big sleeves lend a romantic characteristic to an outfit, plus, they’ll be a HUGE trend in 2020.
6// EDGY ALL BLACK

What To Wear When You're Bored Of Your Own Clothes
I like to set up my mornings so they run as smoothly as possible. Planning my outfits ahead of time is just one of the things I do, and my process for finding outfit inspo is super simple.
I'll head over to Pinterest the week or night before. My boards happen to be categorized in a way that I know will make it easy to put outfits together - All Black, Denim, or Street Style if I'm looking for a more eclectic outfit for example. From there, I just look for any Pins that might strike a chord with me and pick something similar that's already in my closet.
Normally, I can find outfit inspiration quickly, but the other day I was scrolling and scrolling down Pinterest thinking, “I’m so bored with everything I own.” I should also mention that I haven’t bought anything new in a couple of weeks because I’m doing a low-buy year, and therefore running out to buy something new isn't an option. I digress.
After stepping away from Pinterest and coming back to it the next day with a clear mind, I was able to scroll through and nail some new outfits down. I might swap out a sandal out for a boot since it’s winter in Canada, but at least the work is done for me and I know exactly what I’m wearing for the rest of the workweek.
For more outfit inspo, head over to Pinterest @woahstyle, and follow me there for daily inspo.

NARS Tinted Glow Booster
NARS has just launched its limited-edition Tinted Glow Booster, and as a fan of Chanel’s Water Fresh Tint, I’m obsessed.
While it might look like a foundation, it’s not. This multi-purpose customizable complexion enhancer by NARS will smooth the skin’s appearance by blurring imperfections and enhancing its natural glow.
The customized blend of yellow and beige pigments provides a non-ashy glow on all skin tones.
The lightweight formula is hydrating, thanks to the exclusive blend of Jojoba Gel and Jojoba Elixir, and the pearlescent pigments creating a shimmering effect for a lustrous finish.

How To Style A Pajama Shirt
If you like the look of pajama shirts but you’re unsure of how to wear them, simply reach for a pair of slim-cut jeans and feminine heels. Opt for silk fabric instead of cotton so that your outfit looks intentional and chic, otherwise, you might run the risk of looking like you’re wearing pj’s in public. The finished look is perfect for a Friday night outing!

A good checkered blazer is one of the most versatile and timeless pieces one can have in their closet. It’ll transition seamlessly from fall to winter, spring and summer.

Breaking Down 20 of Kristen Stewart's Best Looks
In a world full of trend followers and Kardashian look-alikes, it's very apparent that Kristen Stewart dresses for herself. Whether it's walking the red carpet in Cannes wearing Chanel or strolling her LA neighborhood in jeans, a t-shirt, and Vans, it's clear she’s just doing Kristen.
It's almost like she has two style alter-egos, and yet regardless of what she’s wearing, the essence of who she is as a person and artist always comes through.
Her style is truly inspiring to me and I love how she can rock androgynous looks just as much as the glamorous ones.
Kristen is always experimenting with different hairstyles and I only realized after researching this post that her makeup is often matched to her outfits. Her looks are thoughtful, chic, badass, cutting edge, and polished all in one.
Keep scrolling for my favorite looks from this Chanel ambassador.
1// Kristen looking chic and edgy in a grey suit with a matching bra top. She accessorized with a pair of flattering round sunglasses and a her classic silver chains.
2// Kristen looking elegant in a tweed Chanel suit. Her eyes are rimmed in bold black eye liner that compliment the sharpness of this red carpet look at TIFF.
3// A look so few can pull off. Kristen wears an open crisp white shirt, sans bra, a tailcoat blazer, ankle length black trousers, and white Adidas sneakers. She accessorized with silver aviator eyeglasses, her iconic silver chains, and a bold purple eye.
4// Kristen at Cannes wearing a sheer Chanel gown with a full skirt. The vibes are 50’s housewife, but an edgy twist as Kristen’s bleach blonde hair is brushed back, and this elegant un-done sort of way. Her bold red lip and sleek cat eye truly bring the retro-chic look full circle.
5// Kristen’s 2019 SNL promo wearing a baby tee, worn inside out, and cobalt blue baggy jeans. She looks radiant in neutral coloured makeup and a pair of aviator eyeglasses.
6// Kristen wearing Chanel and Brunello Cucinelli.
7// A bronzed Kristen on set for Charlie’s Angels, wearing an oversized beige knitted sweater.
8// Kristen at Cannes wearing a bold red lip and white Chanel knitted track suit.
9// Kristen wearing a black suit with velvet lapel and pocket details, and a pair of patent leather brogues. She opted out of wearing a top and went for a black lace bralette instead.
10// Kristen wears a burnt red suit from Sandro Paris, with a matching lip, and slick back hair.
11/ Another Cannes look wearing a sheer black Chanel gown. Kristen’s hair is done in soft, but bold curls piled on top of her head, complimenting the geometric folds in the organza dress.
12// Kristen wearing a mini beige and silver sparkly Chanel dress in Cannes. She pairs the look with round sunglasses and silver ankle strap heels.
13// Kristen wearing an orange denim jacket and clear eyeglasses on the set of Charlie’s Angels.
14// Kristen wearing an asymmetrical lace blouse and sharp trousers from Rodarte. Her makeup has the same romantic badass vibe as the outfit as she rocks pink blush on her temples, cheeks and eyes.
15// Kristen wearing a beautiful black and white number in Paris.
16// Kristen wearing an ivory Chanel suit with a lace bra.
17// Kristen sitting front row at Chanel’s fall/winter 2019 show wearing a navy Chanel catsuit and red sunglasses.
18// Kristen often starts her red carpet appearances in heels and often changes to sneakers towards the end. It’s so indicative of her lifestyle as one of the top actors in the industry going to prestigious awards, and being on set, and then living a humble low-key life in LA.
19// Kristen looking stunning and fresh in a striped dress from Chanel (naturally), mint green smoked out eyes and a bold pink lip. Her hair is pinned back by a bunch of overlapping bobby pins that just look insanely good, but still very chic and red carpet appropriate.
20// In a video for Allure, Kristen’s makeup artist Beau Nelson discussed how his inspiration for her white cat eyeliner came from the dress she wore on the red carpet. He started by shaping her eye with a taupe shadow, and then added a chic white liner. He then serendipitously came across some tiny white pearls in his kit, which he glued along Kristen’s last line. As much as I love her makeup looks, this one has to be one of my favourites.

What I Wore This Week, Ep. 2 | Sweatpants, Stripes & Snakeskin
This past week on Instagram went a little something like this.
Geoff and I visited the real Schitt’s Creek, aka, Goodwood, Ontario. Just north of Toronto, this little quaint town is exactly as it looks on the TV show, with a few varying details - Rose Apothecary is actually Romni Wools, a knitting shop closed for the winter that will be re-opening in April. Café Tropical isn’t a restaurant, but a private residence. Bob’s Garage is a wheelchair workshop, and Roland’s House is a real residence. You can find more details on my Instagram here, and a video tour on my IG Stories highlights. For our trip, I wore sweatpants and a graphic Balenciaga scarf that I only hope David Rose would approve of.
Monday marked the first whole week back to work for many of us after the 2019 X-mas/New Year break. After nearly three years of working from home as a freelance blogger, I felt it was time for a change and started the new year with a new office job. You might see more business casual looks on my social media, but don't worry, they'll still be edgy. On top of my Monday to Friday day job, I'll also continue to produce new content for the blog, Instagram, and YouTube.
Finally, I announced this week on my IG that I will be starting a conscious consumption year. This is something I’ve been wanting to do for a while now and I’m at a point where I’m very happy with the contents of my closet, so it feels like the timing is right. The awesome part is that some of you guys are also starting, or going into your second low-buy year, so I feel like we can support each other in this journey. I’ll be uploading a video on this to my YouTube channel soon, so be sure you’re subscribed!
Keep scrolling for my full week in outfits.
1// SWEATPANTS & SWEATSHIRT
Wearing Essentials sweatpants, a black sweatshirt, and a Balenciaga logo scarf with a beige coat on a chilly winter day.
2// BALENCIAGA KNIFE MULES IN BRONZE
Here I’m wearing a cropped beige jacket from LPA clothing, a white tank, black paper bag waist pants, and my Balenciaga bronze leather knife mules. This colour was a Net-a-porter exclusive which I happened to score on sale a while back.
3// LOUIS VUITTON EMPREINTE LEATHER MONOGRAM BUMBAG
One of my favourite purchases from last year was this Louis Vuitton empreinte leather monogram bumbag. For my review on this bag, head over to my YouTube channel, youtube.com/woahstyle.
4// CHANEL JUMBO FLAP BAG
Wearing my Chanel patent leather jumbo flap bag and styled it similarly to the brand’s Gabrielle bag.
5// STRIPED SWEATER WORN TWO WAYS
Pairing black & white with neutrals for a daytime, work appropriate look. I love how the faux-snakeskin Alexander Wang Parker loafers add something unexpected to the outfit.
Styling the same outfit with my green satin Balenciaga BB slingbacks and my Chanel jumbo flap bag.
6// WINTER LAYERS
Finally, a throwback to my New York trip last year. I took this photo as I was just finishing packing. There’s no way I would have put my Away carry-on on the bed otherwise.
