Do you have a closet full of black clothes? And do you come home with the latest black addition after an afternoon of shopping? Join the club! You unhesitatingly answer ‘no’ when someone asks if you don’t have too many black garments. You just can’t have enough of black. Does this mean that you’re a dark and gloomy person? Au contraire, my dear! Black clothes usually make you very happy! These 12 reasons explain why black is your favourite colour.
#1 All your (black) clothes match. It is clear that most of your wardrobe consists of black garments. But even a very colourful or printed item can be effortlessly combined with… black, of course!
#2 You can wear the same outfit three days in a row. You clearly see all the differences between the unique garments. This goes for most women, but not for most male colleagues. Chances are that your (male) colleague won’t even notice it when you wear the same outfit for days. That is a real laundry-saver!
#3 Black never goes out of style. Over the past centuries, there was not one year when black wasn’t on-trend. Even though trendsetters often say that a colour is ‘the new black’, the real black is always number one.
#4 Black is seen as the most attractive colour there is. Do you think that red means sexiness? Forget that, black clothes are on top when we’re talking about charm. I bet you already knew that :)!
#5 Black creates a flattering silhouette. In an all-over black outfit, you look like you slimmed down a size (or two!). Of course, you have nothing to hide, like many people think when black is your favourite colour, but it is a plus.
#6 Black is an all-season colour. Have you heard the rumour that black is a winter colour? Nothing could be further from the truth! Black is also suitable for the summer. A Little Black Dress, sun-kissed legs, a pair of trainers, and you’re totally summer-ready.
#7 Black is the colour to impress someone. You won’t be forgotten when you’re dressed in all black. That’s perfect for a first date or a job interview. Success guaranteed!
#8 Black always looks good. With many colours, the matter is that either they look good on you, or they don’t. That’s not the case with black. Black looks good on everyone. If you have a nice suntan or if you look a bit pale in the winter, black always brings out the best in you.
#9 You can wear black for any occasion. You’ll never look inappropriate at a party, a business meeting, or a funeral. And yes, black clothes are even worn at weddings.
#10 With black clothes you can go all out with accessories. Chunky necklaces, over-the-top hats, and neon bags: name it, and the accessory is perfect to wear with your black outfit.
#11 Black rarely stains. This doesn’t only make black a loved colour among messy people; makeup fanatics love it too. There’s only one enemy for people that love black; toothpaste!
#12 Black is suitable for experimenting with different materials. Velvet trousers or an extreme sequins glitter dress: dressed in pink makes you look like cotton candy. But when you dress in black? You just look fabulous! With black, it’s easier to choose something different.
