PICK A STATEMENT SKIRT
Take a leather jacket and pant combo from ordinary to eye-catching by pairing a color-blocked skirt on top.
CONSIDER WHAT’S UNDERNEATH
Change up a traditional suit by layering a colorful camisole underneath. This way you can still stick to your all black roots, but also give onlookers a glimpse of color.
GO FOR THE UNEXPECTED
Make your black basics more exciting by pairing them with colorful pieces, like a purple mini-bag and army green blazer.
ADD A BOLD TOPPER
Still not ready to part from your all-black uniform? In that case, simply layer an oversize coat in a bright hue on top.
LOOK FOR EYE-CATCHING ADORNMENTS
Add plush fur accents in head-turning colors to add some playful texture to your uniform.
