Fashion's devotion to Black - do you wear it?

Not really a colour yet it makes up a large part of my wardrobe. The little black dress (championed by Coco Chanel), black trousers for all seasons to dress up or down, black lingerie....black boots, my patent black high-heels, the list goes on.

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?

Re: Fashion's devotion to Black - do you wear it?

I have quite alot of black and alot of dark greys.

I think that it does make you feel more "dressed up" if you know what I mean and when it comes to underwear for a special occasion --black every time really for me and so far I havent had any complaints!

Oh yes I wear it a lot... when I go shopping I tell myself no more black but I obviously don't listen.

Funnily enough, wearing brown makes me fell really depressed...

Re: Fashion's devotion to Black - do you wear it?

Actually one colour I never ever wear is white... to me it's a non colour and I couldn't be arsed with all the washing anyway.

You won't find a single white item in my wardrobe - not even in my underwear drawer.

Blue is my staple colour.

I'll never go Back to Black, no mater what Amy Winelodge says.

Actually I never wear it, but I did design some some black clothes, thinking about it.

A black/platinum reversible suit, seen here on the platinum side, for Weatherall.

Black nylon bomber jackets, for Corolla at Joseph.
