Black trousers continue to be your friend
even in summer months
Black linen trousers
Black cotton trousers
Black on hot days
looks cool and refreshing
when paired with white
White sleeveless cotton knitted tunic
White linen shirt
White off the shoulder peasant-style top
On cooler days
it looks great with a cropped cardigan
an outsized pima cotton scarf
a zip-up cardigan in cream
or a kimono style jacket with patch pockets
One key factor in wearing black trousers in the summer
is the colour pairings you choose
Go for black with
White
Cream
Beige
Put colour into your accessories
Jewellery handbag scarf
Keep shoes in the same pale colour ways
or try the metallic shades
especially with flats
The more minimal you keep the colour palette
the cooler
fresher
and more stylish
you will look
