We all know that- black is not necessarily the most approachable of  colors for Spring but  is still so worth the effort. According to Coco Chanel black  is  essential  it reigns because black trumps all and is the color of elegance.  And where Chanel leads we like to follow. The ease of this look came in to play by pairing the black a-line skirt from Zara with the black fur jacket also from Zara. You can ease yourself in to this look by paring black pieces together but with different textures such as fur and silk. Also work up to wearing it with a structured  belt  like this one from Emanuel Ungaro. This is a totally timeless look. And is easy to wear. The belted waist gives you the option to create that coveted hourglass shape should you feel you need it.
