Paris Fashion Week for the Fall/Winter 2024-25 season took place from February 26th to March 5th. "Everyday" was the buzzword this season, with many brands showcasing practical pieces rooted in reality. Timeless everyday wardrobe staples were given a fresh twist, and styling techniques were plentiful for a modern aesthetic. Off-runway looks were also chock-full of ideas for updating your existing pieces for the latest trends! While black is a color that never fails to appear on the runway every season, this season's standout trend was all-black outfits, layering black on black. Reminiscent of the "black shock" that Japanese brands brought to the fashion world in the 1990s, all-black looks have made a comeback on the off-runway scene. Because it's a single color, the texture of the fabric, silhouette, and layering techniques can bring out completely different looks. Take a look at fashionistas' modern style.


1. Combining Different Materials

When putting together an all-black outfit, it's important to pay attention to the material you choose for each item. By mixing different materials like tweed, lace, leather and felt, as she does, you can break away from monotonous styling and elevate it to a more fashionable look. The gold trim on the jacket matches the gold metal embellishments on the shoes for a unified look.


2. The sensuality brought out by lace

Lightweight, sheer materials such as lace and organza can remove the stiffness from an all-black outfit and add a touch of femininity. Lace in particular is exotic and sensual. Mixing a soft cotton blouse with a flowing skirt and heavy western boots will elevate your look to a more fashionable level.


3. Creating contrast by showing skin

The miniskirt boom that has been going on for several seasons is continuing this season as well. By combining a pop and girly miniskirt with a black set-up with a touch of grunge, you can create a mature look without being too sweet. For an all-black outfit, try showing a little more skin boldly and playing with the contrast with the black.


Extra Edition
In addition to this, there are many other all-black outfits that feature everything from shoes to sunglasses in black. Once you've mastered black, why not try a one-tone look in white, khaki or red?
