Thanks for looking!</p> <p><b>Helena</b> - I think both brown and taupe are good options to consider to replace the black boots. Thanks for the suggestion!</p> <p><b>Laurie</b> - Thank you for the kind words. I haven't decided yet if I will completely shift away from black footwear. There are some outfits where I do think black footwear looks best. I suppose only time will tell! Thank you for looking!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-only-black-sweater#post-2378825 Sun, 19 Jan 2025 23:10:53 +0000 Laurie 2378825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look really nice in black, glad you kept this sweater. It's perfect for the wide jeans.<br />I couldn't live without black boots, even though my favorite neutral is navy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-only-black-sweater#post-2378815 Sun, 19 Jan 2025 21:20:38 +0000 Helena 2378815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this and think the black boots look great. But brown or dark taupe could also work? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-only-black-sweater#post-2378805 Sun, 19 Jan 2025 18:53:50 +0000 Suntiger 2378805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun- and big yay to adding patterned boots! Both my old snakeprint and newer L'Artiste booties became unexpected workhorses.<br /> High tea sounds like fun </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-only-black-sweater#post-2378793 Sun, 19 Jan 2025 17:18:03 +0000 Lisa 2378793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Star </b>- I don't think I'll ever remove all the black from my wardrobe because some items are sentimental. Navy footwear for a tonal bottom half of the outfit look is a brilliant idea, thanks!</p> <p><b>Sal </b>- I think footwear that matches hair color is a really nice way to pull together this outfit, something for me to consider for my next pair of boots. Thanks!</p> <p><b>kkards </b>- These boots are most often used for business wear. My core color for my business capsule is black and that's not a capsule I'm in a hurry to change the core color of since it's not worn often with WFH.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Angie</b> - *high five for high tea* I know you like tea as much as I do and nothing is better than when it's accompanied by scones, finger sandwiches, and good company. </p> <p>My collection of high rise wide leg jeans and pants means this black cropped boxy sweater will definitely stick around in my wardrobe for a while (same for a cropped boxy Zella hoodie I got during NAS). I'm looking forward to other ways to style these remaining black pieces that make the black more of an accent than focal point of the outfit.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-only-black-sweater#post-2378792 Sun, 19 Jan 2025 17:09:18 +0000 Lisa 2378792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Dee</b> - I agree, a small stash of black will probably always be in my wardrobe, even if it's just the sentimental items in the future.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Irina</b> - Patterned boots, interesting idea! I always noticed patterns on flat shoes, but never boots, this gives me something to think about. Thanks!</p> <p><b>Jaime</b> - I'm a big fan of blazers and boots and wore this formula for many years for business casual. I don't get to wear it as often with WFH but it's still fun when I do.</p> <p><b>JAileen</b> - Patterned footwear is not something I've ever given much thought to before, but I'm intrigued by the idea of a pattern to pair with my black moving forward, thanks!</p> <p><b>Roberta</b> - Those silver boots look lovely! And I really like the idea of a shoe with a black sole, that's a brilliant way to pull in black without making it a focus of the shoe, thanks!</p> <p><b>AJ</b> - Dark grey is a great idea to pair with black, but is a touch softer. I also recall the advice to pair footwear with hair color, another approach for me to think about. Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-only-black-sweater#post-2378788 Sun, 19 Jan 2025 16:26:49 +0000 Angie 2378788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER Fashionable, on trend, and rocking it :)</p> <p>LOVE THIS! The boots and sentimental bag are gorgeous together. (LOVE having high tea in London).</p> <p>The black accents work beautifully here -&nbsp; punchy in a subtle way! You definitely don't get the impression that you're in a black outfit, IYKWIM. NICELY DONE!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-only-black-sweater#post-2378779 Sun, 19 Jan 2025 13:47:25 +0000 kkards 2378779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve moved away from black, but honestly I still have black boots and a couple of pairs of black flats and black pumps. They are just so useful. &nbsp;Do you reach for these boots often, even when not wearing this sweater? Than I’d look for something to replace them.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>Ok now onto this outfit which is great. &nbsp;Love the length of this sweater, and how well it layers under the blazer YLF&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-only-black-sweater#post-2378777 Sun, 19 Jan 2025 06:22:19 +0000 Sal 2378777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look. The black boots look great with it.</p> <p>I do have black ankle boots -and they are useful. With your hair I would also wear camel/tan/beige ones with this outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-only-black-sweater#post-2378769 Sun, 19 Jan 2025 05:37:10 +0000 Star (Lise) 2378769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would not be so I strict. Love the black. I have 2 pairs of blue boots. I do wear them with blue jeans and a black top. They work well to my eye. Tonal bottom. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-only-black-sweater#post-2378767 Sun, 19 Jan 2025 05:31:58 +0000 AJ 2378767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicely styled outfit! How about a dark grey pair?</p> <p>I like Roberta's idea of a black sole pair!</p> <p>I think Angie once mentioned using your hair color to guide footwear choice.<br /> The strap of the bag could be changed to coordinate with the shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-only-black-sweater#post-2378762 Sun, 19 Jan 2025 03:06:32 +0000 Roberta 2378762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a great outfit! I have gotten a lot of mileage out of silver and white footwear when I don't feel like wearing black. I have a very similar jacket to what you are wearing, and I would pull out my white monk strap shoes to wear it with jeans. Black soles would tie in with your bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-only-black-sweater#post-2378755 Sun, 19 Jan 2025 02:04:35 +0000 JAileen 2378755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, get patterned boots. &nbsp;Then they will work with black, but also other colors. &nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>Black is a color I avoid. &nbsp;But I’m in a handbell choir and of course black is one of the colors we wear when we perform, along with red and white. &nbsp;So I do have black pants, a black sweater, black boots, and a black bag. I wish it were navy, but it’s not up to me. &nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-only-black-sweater#post-2378754 Sun, 19 Jan 2025 02:00:47 +0000 Jaime 2378754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab outfit! I really like the jeans and the blazer is terrific too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-only-black-sweater#post-2378747 Sun, 19 Jan 2025 01:21:39 +0000 Irina 2378747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this outfit! Cool jeans!&nbsp;<div>You might consider patterned boots - animal print that can work with other bags and a black one, too &nbsp;- snake, zebra or leopard.&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-only-black-sweater#post-2378744 Sun, 19 Jan 2025 00:02:46 +0000 Dee 2378744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ouu.. this is fab, the black sweater and boots etc...work so well with your blazer and wide-legs. Great proportions too. Very sharp and sophisticated. Perhaps a little stash of black is not such a bad thing to hang on to. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-only-black-sweater#post-2378742 Sat, 18 Jan 2025 23:47:31 +0000 Lisa 2378742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello.</p> <p>As I mentioned in this WIW post about <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boots-and-sweaters">Boots and Sweaters</a>, I recently edited some but not all black from my wardrobe. I kept this black Everlane Classic Crewneck Cashmere sweater because the cropped length and boxy style pairs so well with my Paige Anessa Raw Hem Wide Leg High Rise Crop jeans.</p> <p>I've only ever worn this Rails Cody Houndstooth Check Double Breasted Blazer with straight leg jeans so I figured why not try it with wide leg jeans for volume with volume. </p> <p>The black Franco Sarto booties are falling apart and I'm undecided on what to do. I'm trying to shift away from black, but what color boots would I wear with a black bag and sweater besides black? I didn't like how my red or cream boots looked with the black bag and sweater.&nbsp;</p> <p>The black bag is the Aspinal of London Pebble Leather Midi Tote and is a sentimental item that has a permanent place in my wardrobe despite the color. I picked it up the last time I was in London and went to Harrods for high tea. If you're ever in London and if you like tea, I definitely recommend it!</p> <p>Thanks for looking! </p>
