I seem to run into a lot of people who if they could get away with it, only wear black. Remember Johnny Cash was always in black!

    I LOVE BLACK TOO
    1. BetsyIckes
      I think nothing looks more elegant then a woman wearing a black dress with a string of pearls!

      I would wear black 24/7 if I could too. Fortunately my attire for work is mostly black or I'd be seriously bummed. My favorite to blend with a black ensemble is touches of leopard print accessories, etc.

    Oh yes-- black for all occasions. I do wear color, too. But mostly a lot of black.

    It always matches itself!
    1. BetsyIckes
      Yep you can't go wrong with black!

    Black goes well with everything. Especially more black.
  4. aningeniousname
    Black is the new black.
    1. meridance
      I agree

    Almost all of my tops are black...I have a few grey and a few white and a few coloured that rarely get worn. I don't usually dress all in black because I wear blue jeans. But I will wear a black top with black trousers and black shoes.

      Your wardrobe sounds like my daughter's! If I open her closet door right now, that is what I will see!
    2. Epicharis
      I'm quite bad with colours...can't match them...they always just look like two colours to me...so I just wear monotone because it's easy!

      (of course, it means that everyone assumes I am depressed...it's just so I don't leave the house looking like an idiot!)

    I love black, but I also love color!
    1. BetsyIckes
      At work I wear a lot of black, it has a professional look. And since I am in charge of the mobiles and I never know when a news reporter will interview me about why people should donate blood.
    2. Stillthinking
      I love bright colors as pale colors make me look washed out. I always pair a color with charcoal grey though rather than black. I don't like the intense contrast between a really bright color and black. Black I wear typically with other neutrals: grey, beige, black.

      I stay away from brown. Brown makes everyone look frumpy.

      I look hideous in brown. My coloring is very fair with black hair and dark brown eyes (Asian) so brown looks dreadful on me.

    Never (or very rarely)...it tends to depress me.
    1. BetsyIckes
      Oh I've seen some pretty scarey Goths out there wearing black already! When will that stuff become old!
  8. cookingasshole
    not really. I usually wear jeans with red sneakers
    1. BetsyIckes
      I like the Red sneakers!
  9. jflower36
    I like to wear black and white together.
    1. BetsyIckes
      Yeah You can never go wrong with that combo!
  10. rockers123
    ya my favorite color is black. so most of my dresses are in black.
    1. BetsyIckes
      Black it a great color to dress up or dress down with!

    I love black for T-shirts and casual clothes, but I wear a lot of color for work (bright colors, as pastels make me look like I'm suffering from liver failure). Hubby, on the other hand, owns almost all black. He's got the same matching concern as Siuil, but by now it's rather become his "statement". That, and he can wear jeans and entertaining T-shirts to work. He's got more great slogans and illustrations than the local shopping center.
    1. BetsyIckes
      Sounds like your hubby has a signature look for sure!

    I hate to wear black. I've only 1 black thing in my wardrobe - a pair of levi cords.

    In Greece many women wear black (mourning) after their husband or other family member dies, for the rest of their life. So much black - it's depressing.

    And in England in winter when the weather's bad and everyone's miserable the last thing you need is lots of people in black, grey and other dull colours. Give me blue, yellow, reds and pinks any day!
    1. BetsyIckes
      I can understand that train of thought!
  13. gorya
    I love black and white.
    1. kjray87
      Black is awesome. Most of my wardrobe is black or has black in it. Black is a powerful color which compliments me and is very rock and roll!
    2. BetsyIckes
      Well, some people do look acceptionally good in black!
  14. harveyavatar
    Thing I dont like about black is it stains in the wash
    1. BetsyIckes
      And shows every cat and dog hair around!
    2. harveyavatar
      especially if the furry beast is white
    3. BetsyIckes
      Yeah Amen to that!
  15. ArsenicCookies
    99% of my wardrobe is indeed black, though I balance with cheery bright accessories
    1. BetsyIckes
      Cool. I like red and black together
  16. VirtualOffice
    I Love Black. It can look professional, sexy, elegant...black can be accessorized so easily too.
    1. BetsyIckes
      Soooo True!

    June Carter Cash said the real reason Johnny Cash wore black was because that way, when he spilled something on himself, it didn't show.

    This, as it happens, is also the reason I often wear black.
    1. BetsyIckes
      Maybe I should wear black more often LOL
  18. ThriftShopRomantic
    Heh, this got me thinking of a line from the movie "Addams Family Values."

    Little blond girl at camp asks Wednesday Addams:

    "Why are you dressed like you're going to a funeral?"

    Wednesday: "Wait."
    1. BetsyIckes
      hahaha that was one of my favorite movies!
  19. oren
    u can't go wrong with black
  20. askcherlock
    Several years ago I looked into my closet and suddenly realized everything was black. I think I might have been feeling blue but all my clothes were black.
  21. timethief
    I do wear some black but I'm not strongly into it. In fact, the more I see people who are all dressed in black the less I'm inclined to wear it.
  22. Anok
    I have some black staple pieces that I love, but otherwise I wear whatever's clever at the moment
  23. Chrislag
    I wear black turtle necks often, and I have a long black jacket. I think black makes one look distinguished
  24. shadowmoon87
    I really don't mind using black. But I don't think I would wear black shirt with black pants. I don't have any black pants, only shirts so I can't be completely in black even if I wanted to (not that I want :P)
  25. itSAMEERacle
    Perfect day for me to see this topic. Im wearing black shoes, black pants, a black shirt, and a black hoodie
  26. onceafortnight
    I'll wear anything but pink!
  27. Larissa31
    Black clothing can look stylish. But, many times, it's the color of bankers and lawyer, so to speak. It's beautiful but a bit overdone sometimes. I prefer pairing black with pink or red...just my humble opinion...
    1. BetsyIckes
      The color black seems to always be an eye catcher, now matter what other color we put with it!
  28. busylizzy
    I own too much black. I gravitate toward it for some reason. It's not planned. The last time I went shopping I told myself not to buy anything black - I ended up putting things back onto the rack quite often. When I got home I realized everything I bought was blues and turquoises.
  29. giemiller
    yes, but not all the times.
  30. Avellar
    Almost every T-shirt I own is black. Black hats and shoes, no black pants but everything else is black for sure. It's a great color =)
  31. jafabrit
    I pretty much wear all black full time. Not trying to make a fashion statement or anything, just like it, makes life easier to shop and to dress in the morning.
    1. aningeniousname
      And it doesn't show up the Newky broon stains.
    2. jafabrit
      it's brilliant for hiding all sorts of stains hinnie
    3. BetsyIckes
      Yeah And you don't have to worry about mix and match!
  32. exit2013
    Black shoes, black socks, black pants. Never a black shirt.
  33. Shiley
    I like black but rarely do I use just black. I'm more of a blue girl.
    1. BetsyIckes
      I like Navey Blue! I have to watch what color of blue I wear!
  34. AbeArceo
    I usually tend to wear brighter colors when I can. Although I have a few black novelty type of t-shirts I wear out and about on the weekend and such.
  35. mister2mike
    I don't like wearing black! it's hot!
  36. yourfindit
    I love wearing black, but not in the Summer. I'm not trying to roast.
    1. BetsyIckes
      Oh Yeah! Black can be very hot in the summer!
  37. Theresa111
    Black is perfect, as is white.
    1. BetsyIckes
      Yes Yu can match anything with it!
  38. NatetheGrate
    Like Morrissey said, I wear black on the outside because black is how I feel on the inside
    1. BetsyIckes
      Well I don't know if that is a good thing. Maybe you should check the out.
  39. dharmathai
    ii always used to wear black until i moved to Thailand.. the mosquitos like dark clothing!
    Now as of the 13th ill have to wear yellow as im being ordained as a Buddhist monk
    1. BetsyIckes
      Wow That is great! Maybe you can teach me about the religion! I like learning about those kind of things!
  40. edgecrosser
    i like black for some occasion like funeral. I love to be in bright colors!
    1. BetsyIckes
      At first that was the only time I wore black. Then I found myself wearing it more and more.
  41. lisleman
    not me it's too hot (temperature hot) - grey, blue or white
    black and orange go well together - the bumble bee look
    1. BetsyIckes
      Hmm... interesting mental picture you painted!
  42. tinatina
    I never wear black. I already have dark hair, so black makes me look depressed. I love bright vibrant colors.
    1. BetsyIckes
      You are one of the lucky ones who can wear red and bright yellow!
