Sleek and simple, black is making a powerful statement this season. The new black is never somber—it’s strong and sexy, especially in styles with cut-outs that reveal toned shoulders and a flash of décolletage. Look for clean, structured lines and fabrics with a bit of shine or sparkle, and choose simple, graphic accessories. Then go forth and conquer.
