Pernille Teisbaek, Christine Centenera, Laura Harrier and Charlotte Gainsbourg have each set down their own guidelines for dressing entirely in black. They're four distinct eyes on the same subject, and the subject is the least forgiving color in the closet. A black-on-black look shows the craft: the cut, the fabric and the way one texture sits against another are all anyone has to look at. From a Manhattan sidewalk to a Beverly Hills dinner, that's the part we'll be watching when the color comes back to the front of the closet.

With reporting from Vogue.
