Shells Guide: Wearing Black

There are myths and misconceptions about fashion and personal style. Some times people take a simple idea and turn it into a "rule". Sadly, many people have bought into the "rule" that wearing black makes you look fancy.

There are certain things one can do to dress up an outfit. Adding nice jewelry to an ensemble will usually add some class. Putting on a nice pair of dress shoes instead of tennies or slip ons can also achieve a look. I have noticed some people will try to attain the same results by simply trading in the faded blue jeans for a pair of black jeans; this does not work. Or, by wearing a pair of black Crocs some think they can pass as high class, which is also a fallacy.

The key is to remember what material you are working with. Sweat pants are never fancy, no matter the color. Crocs are not acceptable n most social situations, even if they are black. Additionally, black jeans or blue jeans, it doesn't matter they're both denim and not appropriate for all situations.

Remembering the information in this blog could be key to making sure you don't get laughed at, or at least key to making sure you get laughed at less.
