Black is my staple clothes colour. Jeans, singlets, bras, undies, skivvies, etc a majority in all categories are black. I just like the colour, i'm not really into many bright colours and it looks nice. I'm not a goth or emo or whatever you want to say, i just like black. I don't often encounter a problem with people accusing or stereotyping you if you wear black, maybe a few minor cases, but not many. Still i don't mind if people think of me as a goth/emo that's their problem,nothing to do with me, i'm just me.
And supposedly it's slimming, not that i consciously think about that when i wear it, but you know... a plus.
Black is a good colour/shade.
