drawn to black

lynnie · Chanel

meh, i love black. I don't only own or wear only black at all but I wouldn't be opposed to it. I wear a ton of grey, navy, red, etc. i love neutrals and sophisticated colors- i think a lot of it has to do w/living in new york city though. Maybe i'd feel diff. if i lived in palm beach for example. I find it easier to find something in black in a lower price range that looks expensive, rather than in a color or print. And i like drape and silhouette more than color i suppose.

I wear all black at least once a week. It's my go-to when I'm not feeling up to figuring out what to wear in the morning. Black always looks sophisticated and put together, especially for work, so it's a quick and easy way to accomplish all my fashion goals. (For work anyway - I wouldn't wear all black out or on the weekends.)

Lilykind · Hermes

Lately, everything I'm buying is black or otherwise pretty much neutral. I love black...I look so much more sophisticated and thinner in black than I do in any other color.

I'm very much drawn to neutrals and duller colors now. I think a lot of it has to do with my styke evolving...these feel so much fresher to me than all the bright colors currently in my closet (which is a direct influence of living in CA)

Kitty · Hermes

I love black but I also love colors and I also love neutrals...I guess I love everything. Sorry, I'm no help.

cat · Marc Jacobs

I love black and my closet is full of it. I like to wear and all black outfit and pair it with brighty colored purse,jewelery or shoes. Other then black the majority of my clothes are pink.

Kelly · Hermes

I don't think there's a problem with it. I kind of always assumed that everyone had black more than any other color in their closets...maybe that's just because I do! I feel like 75% of my clothes will always look good with black, so I have a lot of it. I don't know that everyone can pull off an all black outfit - I only can on good days and if I pay special attention that I have on enough makeup that it doesn't wash me out. Wearing all black every day might get excessive and look like you're mourning... but I think if its your primary color, that's just fine. It is mine.

Oh, and grey is of course, too. I love grey but I don't have as big an opinion on it because I don't have a lot

Maven · BCBG

Temporarily under the influence of WNTW and fashion magazines, I bought a lot of color in the last three years. Now I'm going back to black and neutrals.

I prefer to wear neutrals, I think I look better in them, I don't get tired of them, and it is so much easier to put together an outfit that looks good. It's easy to add color with a scarf or cami or accessories.

I have wasted lots of money trying to buy a piece to go with a print or colored item. No more, life is too short. I also find I get tired of the season's fashion colors very quickly.

Someone else with more dramatic coloring might feel differently--some people can wear strong vibrant colors and look great. That's fine for them.

Enjoy your black. Anyway, now it's back in fashion.

Hedvig · Coach

I love black and charcoal. And dark brown. They are the most flattering colors for me and always look sophisticated. I do wear a lot of green and red, too.
