Hi, I'm Brandy Joy Smith, and I'm a fashion stylist. Today, we're going to talk about how to wear black in the summer. Whether you choose a dress, romper, or shorts, the most important thing to think about is choosing a material and fit that isn't too tight on your body. You don't want to sweat when the sun's beating down on you. Pair your outfit with brightly colored jewelry to add a punch to your look. Also, make sure you wear some open toed shoes and a bright bag to add some punch and style. Today, Laura's wearing a loosely fitted romper. The romper's fit is nice, slightly baggy, and doesn't cling to the body too tight. We've paired the romper with some great, brightly colored jewelry by Kendra Scott. This way, it adds some great contrast to the black romper by Zara. A great, brightly colored handbag or tote will also punch up your look. Last, pair your outfit with some great sandals, and you've got the perfect black outfit for the summer. Thanks so much for watching.
