Daring Attire, Bold Glam: Unveiling the Power of Black Baggy Ensembles and Statement Makeup
On 08/17/23 // Fashion
Black baggy outfits are perfect for those who want to look stylish yet maintain a minimalist aesthetic. Combining black with other similar shades like charcoal, or combining different textures such as a knit top and smooth bottom, can help create an interesting dynamic in your outfit while preserving its minimalism.
Baggy clothes are known to offer an unparalleled level of comfort and that is something that should be more important in our lives. But the baggy aesthetic is not exactly known for a timeless look that won’t appear dated in the future.
Well, the solution to that is to keep your colors in range. Keep it minimalist and stick with one color, only add minimal details like a contrasting topstitch. Another classic way is to add texture for contrast instead of introducing more colors. Black baggy outfits are sure to give your wardrobe an extra edge.
If you don’t want to go the texture route, the best colors for a very minimalist black baggy outfits are chocolate and charcoal. They are both vibrant in an understated way and each other and create a unique, soberly elegant look that’s a lot like what 80s work outfits were like when done well.
Other great color combinations for black baggy outfits are really mostly different shades of gray. Combining dark blues or greens with black does not work so well.
Elevate It With Texture Contrasts in Black Baggy Outfits
Then, as said before, adding texture to your black baggy outfit is the other way to make your black baggy outfit look less like a server’s uniform.

Materials such as corduroy, knit, grainy leather or thick denim can provide rich texture that in a monochromatic outfit actually works as a statement.
Linen, shirt polyester mix or cotton are the stereotypically neutral and subdued smooth textures.
Silk satin and jersey materials with sheen are smooth textures that provide the shiny contrast.
You don’t have to create that texture contrast with your clothes, though. One way that works well is to wear plain baggy trousers with a plain baggy top, all in smooth textures without any contrast, but add a highly shiny vinyl handbag.

For eyes, opt for black mascara and a black eyeliner, or choose an eye shadow with black-brown tones. A pink lip gloss will give the look a final touch of femininity.
