Black isn’t just for winter - here’s how to make it make sense now

Black in summer is one of those style choices that feels wrong until you put it on. While the rest of the world leans into pastels and palm prints, there’s something satisfyingly grown-up about choosing the no-colour colour.

The trick, of course, is in the fabric. Black cotton, black linen, black silk — anything that moves, breathes, or softens in the light.

Black just works - and especially in the cities. It cuts through the noise, sharpens your silhouette, and means you don’t have to spend your morning wondering whether that bold orange dress is too much for a Tuesday.

Pair black with raffia, with sheer layers, with bare legs. It doesn’t have to be heavy. In fact, in the right fabric, it’s cooler than a head-to-toe pastel moment.

So no, you don’t have to abandon your favourite shade just because the sun’s out. A black sundress, a loose black shirt, a pair of wide-leg trousers - these are pieces that do summer on your terms.
