Back in Black

Summertime is almost over and that means black is back (not that it ever left). My favorite wardrobe staple can be found in many end-of-summer incarnations as seen in this week's slideshow from New York Times photographer Bill Cunningham.

For the remaining hot days, try a black tank and white jeans with wedges, or a simple black tank dress with flats or thong sandles. Don't forget your trusty cardigan just in case of arctic blasts once inside!
