On the Street......Summer Black, Paris
It is so tough to make an all black outfit not look oppressive in the summer heat.
I think the subtle fact that Darcy has a very open neckline really makes her look feel more open and easy.
"Makes her look feel," that's a funny phrase. I think a lot of times we decide how much we like a "look" based on how it must "feel" to wear it.

post a commentchic!
I agree, a the feel of an ensemble contributes to the look. the restricted proportions and lighter fabrics lend to the summer feel.

All black is always a good choice. :)
Beautiful lady! She looks so chic in all black!
I agree that the neckline makes this look more open and easy. If the neckline wasn't so open, it wouldn't look as good. And it definitely wouldn't look comfortable for summer heat.
she looks fantastic. each piece looks quality. simplicity of accessories make it look uncluttered. little makeup and hair back also allows the simplicity to work during the heat.
she looks beautiful!
Just gorgeous! Love the all black look.

love the jacket
I absolutely agree with your "look" and "feel" idea. I think fashion is a market of the emotions, but you out of all people would know that best :)
A general comment: I love when you write a comment under your posts. It is so nice to hear what you're thinking when you take these photos. That little extra personality makes the post more special.
It is about feeling isn't it? Sometimes i want to project what i am feeling inside to the world and fashion is a way of doing it. I work in the city so overall the look is, you know, blue, gray, black etc. They're great colours and make good bases but i like throwing in the yellows, greens and whites to project a little of personality without breaking the rules entirely.
She would look good in this beautiful outfit posing on black lava rocks next to crashing blue ocean
I agree! That is funny you mentioned black in the summer. I plan on wearing black all year round....

we need to know what type of jacket that is! anyone know?
You can never go wrong with black, it's a staple in my wardrobe
I really like Looking at this!
I never consider how ensembles must "feel" to wear in your shots, I am purely judging on aesthetic!
I love this because all black here is simple and the individual items are unfussy. The sunnies are a perfect touch. I don't think she looks especially 'cool' (as in the opposite of warm) but she is casually elegant.
San Francisco in the summer, or anytime, for that matter, you will find all black like this. I think it is de riguer for any big city.
Amazingly good-looking! I feel the look.
So true.
Beautiful girl ^^

Love that coat, such a gorgeous outfit, love the way it drapes...
I love black clothes in summertime. I never feel comfortable in pretty summer dresses so all my summer dresses are black.
This is interesting to me. I can NEVER understand how people can wear jeans or tight pants in the heat of summer! I see them and wonder...why??? I enjoyed your comments about look vs. feel. Interesting
I would wear this in a heartbeat. Casual, understated, effortless and elegant.
This is so chic and simple! Looks wonderful on her.
The belt! The belt! I absolutely adore it. I like it how her make-up is not overly done also.
Wow, such style!! I'd love to see her shoes too.... Sandals? Heels?? Ballet flats???
As long as I live, I will always love head-to-toe black; you just can't beat it!
i love the belt loop detail. i hope there is jet pocket hidden under the belt loop. im not sure if its the lighting or what, but the subtle difference of the shade of black of her coat breaks up the monotony of the all black ensemble. im sure the textures are lost in the photograph. but one cant ask for the world and get it all, right?
Yeah I heard about Paris going black even in Summer(!) Sniff!..Ok,I lost my battle..Or maybe not! Watch out for a terrible backlash! Because in the end it's "contre nature" and defies common sense. Black absorbs heat when white reflects it and rejects it...It only makes sense if Summer is getting cold...but it's not, is it?

I love this outfit.
Problem is she's going to attract a lot of heat, but the outfit is stunning.
The cardi/jacket also helps the casual vibe with the rolled up sleeves and long length. Nice.
effortlessly chic
love the sunglasses!
She looks so effortless as for wearing black during the summer. ;]
Black is the new Black
