How to wear black and not look boring
Black is always a fail-safe option once the
festivities kick in. So, I’ve written a piece about how to wear it and not look bland for the Guardian, HERE. I know from my own experience that I tend to gravitate towards a couple of items in my wardrobe at this time of year. There’s a black velvet jacket I bought for a fiver in a second-hand shop in
Peckham before second-hand became vintage and Peckham became the new
Dalston/Shoreditch/whatever. Slip it on over a simple outfit and I’m ready to
party.
