"What are you always reaching for, but don't have?" the style experts say. "That's what you should buy."

I've noticed this lately with black earrings. Sometimes a black or black-dominant outfit seems like it would best be supported with black earrings. I had a pair of black plastic round studs years ago that I thought were ugly, but ended up supporting my outfits in this way.

Gold and silver earrings are considered staples. Diamond and pearl studs are considered classics, if not staples. But no one ever mentions black earrings. They just seem like they would have immense practicality, not to mention elegance. A small black hoop, a rosette stud, or a simple, graphic design.
