5 all-black summer outfits if you refuse to wear colour

While for many people the advent of summer spells a return of bright florals, neons, and general rainbow-hued styles to their wardrobes, for those who refuse to give up their all-black basics, that doesn’t mean you can’t tailor your look to the season. Because we know it can sometimes be difficult to find all-black summer outfit inspiration, we took to our favourite influencers and found five chic all-black outfits that are perfect for summer.

1. Silk cami + trousers

Xenia Adonts’ silk black cami, trousers, and sandals are perfect for returning to the office this summer. For a wallet-friendly alternative to her luxe Gucci bag, check out these five Gucci dupes if you can’t afford the real thing.
