Basic black: Celebrities love it
Fashion celebrities love to wear black
As far as I'm concerned all other colors of clothing can take a back seat to black. (My friend Alan and the editor of this here blog will disagree but well, she's wrong.)
It's my go to. My fall back. My safety. When I walk into my stuffed closet and stare like a drooling idiot, flummoxed by the myriad choices and panic, thinking "I have nothing to wear. I have nothing to wear. I have nothing to wear". I take a deep breath think "Black". I know if I just throw on black -- a dress, skirt and top, trousers and jacket, skinnies and heels, doesn't matter -- it will all be alright.
Thus it falls under the category of "Indispensable".
There is a reason they call it BASIC black - - because it is so classic, so accessible, so utterly timeless you can never go wrong wearing it.
Ever.
To prove my point here are a few stylistas who know how to rock black their way ...
