Black clothing is a wardrobe staple no matter what the season. Some women question whether it is okay to wear black in the summer and we are here to say a resounding YES! Black has always been a favorite color for both of us to wear. It is elegant and classic, it can be slimming and it is so easy to pair with so many other colors. Black has higher UPF rating to protect your skin during those warm months too! A black outfit transitions easily from afternoon to evening. Dressing in the morning is made easier because a monochromatic black outfit is always in style and looks great too! If you decide to wear black outfits in the spring and summer you may want to consider the fabric. You definitely want breathable fabrics like linen or cotton. It is important that the outfit is not restrictive so consider flowy dresses or wide leg linen or cotton pants.
The big question many women have is what shoes to wear with a black outfit in the spring and summer. We did a deep dive into what shoes to wear with your black outfits this season and included multiple pairs of shoes that will work depending on what event you are attending or in general where you are going!! Here is our round up of some of our favorites!!
What Shoes To Wear With Black Outfits This Spring And Summer!
Style Board # 1
Blazer / White Jeans / Earrings / Slingback / Slide / Heels / Clutch
This Cinq A Sept blazer is a major statement piece. It also is an all season blazer that would look just as good in the fall and winter as it does in the spring! The wide array of footwear available this season makes picking out a shoe a little confusing. This outfit would look great with a heel, a slide or even the slingback if you are looking for a more comfortable shoe.
Style Board # 2
Sunglasses / Striped Top / Bermuda Shorts / Purse / Flats / Belt / White Tee / Scarf / Sandals / Shoulder Bag
Bermuda shorts are definitely on trend and this 10″ bermuda short from Athleta is the perfect pick! The short is constructed of PrimaStretch material for ultimate comfort and the short even has a “hold you in” feeling. Zip pockets and a 10″ length are all benefits! BONUS – under $100! The short is so versatile…it can be dressed up or down…the short would even look great with a kitten heel even though we didn’t feature one here.
The Cinq A Sept Tee has cute braided short sleeves including braiding around the neck. We feel that this elevates the tee and it would also look great under a blazer.
Style Board # 3
Hat / Espadrille / Dress / Slingback / Tote / Sandal / Necklace
A fun day dress that could definitely be worn into the evening. We really like the ric rac detail and you could even wear your own belt if you would like! The tote is one of our favorites this season. You cannot go wrong with a wicker or raffia purse. They blend beautifully with so many of your warm weather outfits and they are a definite must have for vacation….check out some of our favorites at our post “Straw, Raffia & Wicker Bags: Summers Most Timeless Accessory!“
Style Board # 4
Dress / Bag / Sandal / Sunglass / Hat / Tote / Sneakerina / Sneaker
We are really liking the Arezzo Petra Bucket Bag…just an all around spring and summer bag that would look perfect with jeans or summer dresses. The Vivaia Sneakerina’s are another one of our favorites this year…you can even interchange the laces for a completely different look. The different lace suggestions are available on the Vivaia website.
Style Board # 5
Dress / Purse / Heel / Jacket / Earrings / Necklace / Purse / Silver Shoes / Black Heel
The Tuckernuck dress is a great one to have in your closet for showers or summer parties that just pop up unexpectedly! We don’t want to try to shop for a dress to wear at the last minute because it often means you probably won’t find one! Haha!
We have featured the Ally Shoes a few times in the last month. The reason…their shoes are super comfortable, hand made leather and are known for their pain free heels. They are classic shoes that will be in your wardrobe for years to come.

Style Board # 6
Dress / Purse / Jacket / Bracelet & Necklace / Sneaker / Sandal / Heel
We hope this helps you decide on what shoes you would like to wear with your black outfits this spring and summer. Black is an all season color that is always in style! It is a fashion staple that everyone looks pretty in!
