I *like* black, regardless of whether it's slimming or not. I mainly only wear black trousers, be they smart ones, or linen, jeans etc. you can't beat 'a little black dress' even when it's not so little, for certain occasions but I do like to wear, for instance, a pastel or brighter coloured scarf or jacket over them. My favourite 'up to the city' outfit is a pair of fitted black trousers, black boots, a black sleeveless top but with either a mint green or disc his pink jacket over the top. Maybe you could try picking a jacket or cardigan in a brighter colour (and a smaller size!) next time you go shopping?
