Why All-Black Outfits Are an EASY Way to Look Great

[@deeps6979]

Love that sweater in the third outfit. The texturing adds a lot to what would otherwise be a flat black outfit and draws the eye right to it.

[@salala4412]

Yes, and the sweater and boots have a similar vibe, plus the ring has the same lines as the sweater. Perfection!

[@Goncalo.]

yeah that outfit was sublime

[@michaeldoerksen2841]

Outfit 3 goes so hard. Anyone know where to source that crewneck???

[@jakobsrensen1831]

@@michaeldoerksen2841 The tag seems to say Abercrombie & Fitch

[@michaeldoerksen2841]

@@jakobsrensen1831 I could barely see that tag, thanks for the good eye. Funny enough, pretty sure I saw the same crew neck on the character Crazy Jane in the show Doom Patrol literally the day after watching this vid

[@eacole72]

If the blacks don't match, it needs to look intentional. If it just looks like you threw on a couple black pieces without checking to see if they work, it won't work. Be intentional in your dressing, and it will work.

[@ParkerYorkSmith]

Always be intentional

[@nfc3po]

What if I intentionally grab 2 random pieces of black clothing without checking them?

[@tatanleanduck]

You're an impressive dude. You pull off such a wide range of styles, and despite being well versed in high fashion, you don't come off as smug or pretentious at all. You seem like a genuinely good, humble dude. I could be wrong, but that's my feeling.

[@sean1e100]

Third outfit is absolute fire. I’m 95% with you on the fourth except for the way the polished belt buckle breaks everything up. I’d be tempted to look at a gunmetal buckle / something a lot more muted. Love your work PY

[@TheASMRCyclist]

As well as trying out black jeans, I would say try out black corduroy trousers.A similar vibe to black jeans but a different texture and feel.

[@newfoundlandrules]

This is exactly the sort of recommendations/tutorials I need. Thanks for making them!

[@ParkerYorkSmith]

Perfect!

[@Ian_Bungy]

My girlfriend showed me your channel after I expressed interest in dressing better. Ive been watching a bunch of your shorts, and I already feel more confident about myself and i am becoming more conscious of what to do with my wardrobe

[@YoYo10542]

Classical musicians have been rocking the all black for forever now. People look good in it!

[@ParkerYorkSmith]

Concert blacks!

[@futureforourkids7617]

The black outfits march perfectly with your greyish hair Parker! I really love all black outfits. Always tend to go all black when I have troubles finding and matching the right pieces in the morning. And hey, even Johnny Cash wrote a whole song about black clothes :)

[@salala4412]

The sport coat, the pocket square and those pieces of jewellry complemented each other so well! Great outfits!

[@kumailakhtar8617]

I like to dress up all black mostly for some places where i want to look stylish! I love how all black feels ! Blsck denim with black button down shirt with black leather boots and black watch is my most favorite outfit. I sometimes wear a black Blazer over it. I love this!

[@loupn]

Monochromatic black for the win! 🖤

[@shinobi-cp5df]

my favorite combo for any kind of clothing really, is black and moss green. like ill have black jeans, my go-to leather jacket and a moss green long sleeve or button up if im going more formal

Great video, so many nice outfits. I already wear a lot of black so it’s nice to see all of these possible combinations.

[@ParkerYorkSmith]

Perfect

[@StuntTriple]

I got a black denim coat recently, love it for all black outfits. Its lightweight, ends at the above the knees and is good for layering when hot ~ish.

[@ParkerYorkSmith]

Love it!

[@salala4412]

Hooray, a new longer video! I love these!

[@letstalkandmakestuff]

What a timing, Today only I wore all black outfit with silver jewellery and it looks super good as in my opinion 😅 and yeah it's good sometimes that a piece of your clothe doesn't match with the same colour fabric but it can still look good 😊

[@darkphotographer]

am wearing all black for many years ,most of my close are black or gray got few dark blue and really like the black on black suite , wear it all time , and after the jhon wick movie that look has become popular ,, some how ,,

IDEA FOR SEGMENT --- Outfits for a Hawaii cruise. This December I'm taking a 16-night cruise from LA to Hawaii. Would love to see your take on what to wear on the ship---informal day wear, more dressy gala night wear, and smart casual evening wear for dinner.............anyway, thanks for your channel and sense of fun, Parker.

[@graemespeed4285]

Great outfits and great tips Parker. Thanks for the warmer weather outfit too. As in Australia we are heading into summer 👌🏻

[@ParkerYorkSmith]

Totally!

[@seansimmons73]

For some great hot weather shirts, you should try shirts made out of bamboo. Their as cool as linen but don't rinkle as much & are softer than cotton. Onno is a brand I use for black t-shirts shirts. That lenin dress shirt was really nice

[@JasminLeudesdorff]

What also works well with an all black outfit (or a monochromatic outfit in general) is mixing textures. If you wear a shiny leather pant adding a satin shirt might be a bit to much. Opt for sth with a 'rough' surface instead, like a knitted sweater. I used to wear all black for about 7 years and still wear a lot of it, and the idea of mixing textures really makes my outfits look stylish and intenional.

[@benleusink4149]

Hey Parker, I’m a big fan of your videos and your positivity and your wear what makes you feel good mentally. I really like all of the jewelry you wear. For my skin tone and personal taste I enjoy wearing a gold chain and would like to wear more gold jewelry such as rings, bracelets, and watches. Do you ever wear gold jewelry? Do you have any brands you might suggest for gold jewelry? What are your thoughts about mixing gold and silver? Thanks for the great content!

[@ParkerYorkSmith]

I do, but deffo more silver. No specific brands, but I’m sure there are good ones

[@ethanbradley845]

Awesome guide! Love putting on an all black outfit from time to time! Where can I get that black&gray plaid jacket?

[@ParkerYorkSmith]

Thanks! It’s older from Bonobos

[@Creophagous]

When you mentioned a cold wash, I had to agree. I have no gas in my flat, so I do not have the ability to wash clothes with hot water. I find my clothes do better with cold water. That really surprised me. So, you are right 100% - cold wash.

[@nickkestler4848]

I struggle with mismatched black colors, but the good thing is, when it's time to dye all my faded blacks, they're all gonna be the same matching shade.

[@ParkerYorkSmith]

Facts!

[@srkovkan]

Great video! I've been wearing all black everyday for almost 5 years now. The only exceptions are white and dark gray, which I rarely use. I like the sexy, mysterious, discreet and elegant image that black brings. My girlfriend likes colored clothing and wanted me to match with her. I don't see myself using colors anymore. I said I can, at most, match the color she is wearing with a tie

[@goluizgo]

Hey! Can you style a layered outfit with no sleeves? Tried it the other day and kinda felt the vibe, so I'd love to see some options :)

[@ParkerYorkSmith]

Dig it! Don’t think I have the pieces

[@arnekronvall817]

Can you make a video about color proportions and the effects on darker color vs lighter color. Say why we tend to always wear a darker suit jacket compared to the pants.

[@judalea17]

I tend away from black as I think it drains colour from my face (I prefer navy) but my work shirt is black with purple sleeves, placket and collar (as well as black pants and boots), so I think that helps a bit. I do wear black pants with patterned shirts, and usually black shoes I also love the lining of the jacket

[@AznUzer]

Hey I was wondering if you (or anyone else) could offer some advice. I've been wanting to upgrade my fashion as I dress like a middle/high-schooler. I am 26 years old and only wear T-shirts and shorts. My main issues are that I have sensory issues and I overheat very easily (I believe I have autism). For shirts, I am extremely particular about fabrics. I only like a certain type of cotton (so far) and it's Costco's Kirkland Signature T-shirts. I have some 100% cotton T-shirts that I absolutely cannot stand because they feel like polyester (way too "smooth"). I am less particular about my shorts. Overall, I really don't like tight-fitted clothing and I hate pants. Just don't like the feeling of most fabrics covering my entire leg. I was wondering how I could upgrade my fashion while having all these limitations. Let me know if there's anything else I can add. Thank you.

[@zoey2868]

That sweater outfit is NOT all black... when a black item fades, then it is gray. Dressing all in black does not look good on anyone ... even a little bit of color is necessary for every outfit. Even for a funeral, I have never seen anyone show up for a funeral dressed completely in black. Even nuns and priests have a little bit of white in their outfits. I never want to go out ... especially to a dressy occasion ... and have someone joke, "So, who died?" You are wrong on this video.
