Wearing black isn’t just cool. There is a full-on psychological explanation of what it means to wear all black, and it isn’t just as if someone died. Many people accumulate a wardrobe full of the color black, yet are drawn to colors other than black. When analyzing why individuals frequently wear black, you will find that psychological factors contribute to this widespread tendency. Some people believe that black clothing accentuates or slims their figure. Others associate black with seriousness, tenacity or power and wish to convey this message or attitude to people. Additionally, black can appear elegant and sophisticated.
Many are quick to say that any color goes with black. However, If you’re going to go black, consider which colors to wear with it in order to create some balance, like whites, creams, blues, purples, greens and browns. These colors are not overwhelmed by the black but are instead complementary.
For those of us venturing out of the home and possibly even into the (gasp) workplace, an all-black outfit fits the bill, says FashionGum.com. Black office staples are sexy, elegant and trendy, they point out. Just imagine yourself in a black dress, pumps and some hot black accessories, or a black shirt smartly tucked into trousers and a set of pumps, which looks classy and sophisticated. Add a big bag, stunning shoes, a beautiful watch, the right jewelry and black is your True Fashionista thang.
