There are so many reasons to wear black: It matches every skin tone, it's always in style no matter what the season or even decade, and let's face it, it's a great color for hiding stains.

This week we spotted Portlanders embracing the classic color black with everything from handmade, thrifted, and high street separates. Black is the foundation to creating a simple look and these PDXers decided to use the color to showcase special and unique pieces such as studded Dr. Martens or a thrifted lace kimono cardigan.

“I really like Seto Ayumi’s unique style because it is so interesting. It’s almost as if she looks different but herself at the same time and that is what I strive for.”
