Who says you can’t wear black during summer? Style maven Olivia Palermo pulled off an all-black look just recently at the opening of the Escada flagship store in Germany.

The 30-year-old socialite looked cool and chic in her perfectly layered black ensemble. She wore an Escada jacket over a dainty tank top, which she teamed with a flowy Escada silk skirt.

The midi number featured a high waist and soft pleats that cascaded down to an asymmetric hemline.

A wide studded belt pulled Olivia’s look together and helped accentuate her tiny waist.

She accessorized with chunky bracelets, a couple of rings, and a metallic clutch to edge up the look further.

Beauty-wise, the former reality TV star pulled her hair back into a ponytail and rocked smoky eye makeup.

A pair of Rebecca Minkoff “Riley” sandals boosted Olivia’s height by nearly five inches.

While Olivia naturally went with black to finish off her all-black ensemble, these sandals are available in different versions — some more spring-appropriate — at Shopbop and Zappos.
