The color black has for long been associated with darkness
and a sense of foreboding and yet has always captured the imagination of the
fashion fraternity around the world. Bold and daring, classic and
sophisticated, even vibrant and traditional, according to the garment black can
be associated with so many adjectives. Take for example traditional gold and
silver thread work black Anarkali suits,
a bold and daring little black dress, a sensual black sari or a classic and
sophisticated black pant suit. Keeping all these examples in mind, there is no
questions as to why the color black is so integral to women’s fashion. Let’s
explore further in to the iconic and timeless appeal of the color black in
terms of women’s fashion. Listed below are some classic examples of statement
piece garments in the color black that will never cease to be in style.
Little Black Dress
The little black dress is one of the iconic fashion images
of our times and pretty much of all times. Popularly abbreviated to LBD, the
little black dress is the most popular form of party wear for women, the world over. The LBD is truly
representative of the importance of the color black in the world of fashion.
Black Anarkali Suits
There is a popular fashion fundamental that dictates that when
in doubt it’s best to wear black. This is especially true for the Indian ethnic
black anarkali suit. Black Anarkali suits when accentuated with gold and silver
threadworks is a difficult sartorial choice to beat. This ensemble is truly apt
for any special occasion whether it is social function, wedding reception or a
festive party. It is simply hard to beat the visuals of a dazzling gold and
black Anarkali suit.
Black Saree
The Black saree is also another iconic garment that is hard
to beat. There are so many stunning visuals that come to mind when thinking of
women looking gorgeous in black sarees and most of those images are those from
Bollywood movies. So many iconic stars of yesteryears and contemporary
Bollywood actresses have sizzled on screen in a black saree that it is
impossible to single out just one image. The picture above of Kareena Kapoor in
a bold black saree from the movie Heroine is simply just a random selection
from multiple such iconic images.
Black Pantsuit
For the working woman, nothing beats a black pant suit.
Sophisticated and sleek, it is difficult to substitute a black pant suit for
women in the corporate work space. Power meetings, business lunches, or even
power naps at your desk, do it in style in a black pantsuit.
