Black is full of symbolism. Think black: thoughts, looks, moods, magic, shirts....

White is worn for Christenings and weddings, think purity and light. Black for funerals since roman times, think death, darkness....evil? Good and Bad -Ben Hur rides in the Chariot race with white arab horses, Mesalla has Black ones - he's the baddy... Then there was that song, Black is black..

Black is supposed to make us look slimmer and more chic, even cheap black clothes have this effect..a winner all round.

Do you wear black, how do you wear it and how does it make you feel?
Black is sexy
