This all-black moment is anything but basic, making you stand out (in the best way) whether you're heading to dinner or just strutting down a city street.

Best for 👍: Inverted triangle, rectangle, or straight body types, because the volume up top balances slender legs and the flow of the cape is universally flattering.

Adding a matching cream beret instantly gives Parisian cool-girl vibes, and the pointed-toe cream flats keep things elegant from the ground up.

Best for 👍: Just about every body type! Wide-leg pants elongate the legs, and the overall soft color palette works on everyone.
