20 All-Black Work Outfits to Copy Now
Let's face it: About 90% of our wardrobe is made up of colourless pieces, so why try to suddenly change it up when getting dressed for work? An all-black outfit can be especially powerful—as a sartorial statement and even as a political one. So give in, and get inspired with today's roundup of all-black work outfits that'll make you the most stylish person in the office.
Layer a roll-neck knit under a midi dress for a chic office-appropriate look.

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
