Mary Kate Olsen in New York City

Winter is coming around the corner. During the gray, cloudy days we most likely grab the black items in our closet to reflect our distaste for the cold weather. But an all-black outfit does not have to be boring.

Mary Kate has pulled off the all black outfit with an unusual texture of sequin shorts and red clutch to contrast the monochromatic outfit.

This all black outfit is chic and comfortable, but still has the ability to be refined to wear all through the night.

The baggy sweater that Mary Kate is wearing creates a focus on her legs and the sequin shorts also attract the eye to the lower body.

Since this outfit is strictly one color, play with accessories such as a bright clutch or a bright nail color that can add some spice to the outfit.

Mary Kate added  color to her outfit with a large ring with red nails and a red clutch.

Mary Kate’s outfit also contrasts texture, which is a big trend this season. The heavy material of the sweater complements the shorts whereas a sweater of a lighter fabric would be outdone by the sequin and the outfit would seem unbalanced.

This outfit is young and chic, perfect for looking effortlessly fashionable. It’s the definition of  cool without trying too hard.

When wearing this look remember to keep the sweater loose because a tight sweater could look tacky with the sequin shorts.

Above all, remember to have fun with the look and wear it with confidence.
