The key to looking thoughtfully pulled-together when wearing all black? First up, make sure your pieces aren't worn out. A faded black knit that's been through the wash one too many times will always look scruffy. Second, it's key to locate the kind of black pieces that have points of difference. The real factors that separate those boring black work trousers from a pair you'd wear to impress your girlfriends are fabric, cut and detailing.
Look out for interesting touch-me textures or exaggerated proportions, and your easy go-tos will remain up there in the fashion leagues.
To celebrate this—well, it is Monday, and it does make life easy—we've trawled the stores to bring you the chicest black pieces available to buy now. Keep on scrolling to shop with us…
