With summer just around the corner it's natural for people to want to switch their wardrobe from dark and warm, to bright and soft. While it is nice to finally have the sun shining brightly (and warmly) once again, it's still okay to keep the dark looks into the summer - specifically the color black - because it will never go out of style. Here are some cute pieces that prove that the darker colors can still dominate the warmer weather:

Black Shoes

One of the most important parts of a look are the shoes. You could have the cutest outfit in the world on, but if you're wearing the wrong shoes, then the whole piece will be ruined. These black sandals are an example of a perfect summer shoe - whether you're going to a nice meal, or going out with friends, these shoes are wearable at any time. The best part - the black will match with most outfits, won't get dirty easily, and the block heel makes it super easy to walk in (within reason).

Little Black Dress

During the summer, one of the most important pieces a girl must find is a nice sundress that can be seen as casual, or dressy depending on the shoe, and jewlery. Because of the color black, this dress is able to fit the exact criteria. Black is not only a flattering color, but it's also a classic color - and can show that you're trying to look good without trying too hard.

Black V-Neck

As easily as black can be seen as formal, it can also be seen as comfortable, cute, and laid back. Take this v-neck for instance - it's simple, but can be paired with so many different things. Whether you want to wear colorful shorts, a short skirt, jeans, or anything really, this tee will match with anything. Yes, you could say that white v-neck's can match with anything too, but the plus side with black is that sweat stains can't be seen, if you spill something on your shirt during the day - it's not as noticable, and it won't be see through like other brighter colors.

Ultimately, the main point I'm trying to make is that black is an essential item that every girl must have in her closet. Whether you're shooting for a casual look, or a dressier look, you can never go wrong with this color. After all, everyone says black is the most flattering color. Happy shopping!
