Do you often wear clothes? Are they often black? Why?

I mostly wear black clothes because they're modest and neat yet stand out in a silent kind of way. There may also be a little bit of goth in there as well.

Number 4, although black is a great color, but not if it covers your entire body. I love a good pair of black pants with a shirt that plays off it well.

However, I usually wear what Mother Werbert buys me.

I don't mostly wear black clothes anymore , but i used too when i was a goth. I still really like goth stuff but now i wear anything that's practical and usually jeans. Guess i grew out of my goth stage....though i must note i was the only goth i knew when i was into all black....i'm still into dark fantasy, vampires, etc. I just don't look like i am.....Still, black...easy to choose what to wear, black goes wiht everything, including black and makes you look slimmer.
ONe problem i did find though in my goth days.....if you've a draw full of black clothes, you can't tell where on piece of clothing starts and another ends!! !!

Yes, absolutely!

Yes.

Because it's easy to combine when you have only black or grey clothes. I could wear almost only dark blue too, but it doesn't combine with black very well so usually I buy black, grey or almost black or grey clothes.

I usually wear black clothes, because it's good looking and easy to combine. This very moment I'm wearing black t-shirt, black jogging pants, black sweater, black socks and black underpants. 8)

I have a T-shirt that says ...."I wear black because they haven't invented anything darker"....but I dont wear all black anymore...I like army pants and those tan pants with lots of pockets...and Pajamas...I "used" to wear all black because I was a "punk" and alot of colors bother me...(bright colors, neons,and pastels just make me nauseous)...darker earthy tones dont upset my tummy....

I have mostly black for the main items of clothing - jackets, trousers, shoes, and some evening wear.

I used to wear more brightly coloured stuff but I find black attracts the least amount of staring. Every now and again I go really bright colours. Usually at sporting events or the beach, or the shirts that I put with all the black stuff.

I wear white cotton. It's cool and comfortable. I look good and appear non-threatening. (The city police wear black.) I tried a blue shirt once, but I didn't look as good. Image
I can bleach white cotton.

It's still winter where I live so in answer to your first question, yes.

But as for black...no, I'm too much of a hippy earth mother for that. The more colour the better.

Werbert, black is not a color!

I do have a lot of black clothes, I think because I had to throw away my lighter colored clothes due to stains. I also like wearing clothes that are olive green, brown, and navy blue, with a few yellow things thrown in.

Why isn't black a colour? What other colours are not colours?

I was a goth/punk type person in high school, so I really wore black then - but I think now I agree with the people who are saying it is just easy - black pants, black shoes and a shirt from my closet - of course it matches . . . I don't do fashion at all - I joke that the only reason I worry about clothes at all is that I'd get arrested if I didn't :lol:

I wear black all the time. Black clothes tend to have messages on them instead of corporate logos. It's amazing how not being a walking billboard has turned into being goth. I really need to start going to those meetings.

I like to wear grey, but I don't wear black often, I am to lightskinned and fairhaired for black.
But I am also going for as few colours as possible like grey and brown. (And oreange)

Wobbegong:

I think black and white are not colours, if you look at a rainbow you'll see all the colours that exists.
And grey cannot be a colour either.
