If I could wear only one color, it would be black. I’d put on a black cashmere sweater set and black flared wool trousers. I’d slip a black leather vest over the sweater and add a black beret with an ebony pin stuck on the side. I’d throw on a black sequined scarf and tie it in a big floppy knot in the front. Then, I’d shrug into a black leather jacket and slip on flat-soled ankle boots to match my black messenger bag. And then — I’d add a long unbelted black trench coat.

Viva la fashion.
