SAY YES TO BLACK... WITH COLORFUL SCARVES!

Updated September 22, 2026

In color theory, black is often treated differently from the hues shown on a traditional color wheel.

Where is black?

Black remains one of fashion's enduring staples. A look back at the 2015 Grammy Awards, for example, shows just how prominently black appeared on the red carpet. 

Why? Simply because...

• Whether as a gown, a LBD or a coat, black is always powerful and bold.
• Its strong, uninterrupted line can create a sleek silhouette.
• It works with every hair color.
• It accentuates the charming mystery of those who wear it.
• Last, but not least, it works with any other shade.

To jazz up your favorite black outfit and to avoid a total monochrome look, there is no better way to throw in a dash of vivid color. Bright accessories such as a colorful silk scarf will be enough to make a statement. Demonstration:

To highlight your silk scarf, you may complement your outfit with a purse or a bracelet of the same color. Keep the combination balanced: as often, simpler is better.
