is it bad...or it really doesn't mean a thing?

i don't think it's bad. some people aren't used to wearing black though coz they believe that it's like a sign of mourning or something like that since we were black when someone passes away.

i like wearing black coz it's so flexible, it goes well with all colors. white could do that too but i feel like everyone could see through me if i wear that color.

add the fact that wearing black makes one look slimmer ;)

[powerpuff]

black is simple and classy. goes wid anything and mas mukang payat. i don't think ders anything wrong wid it juz becoz its black. babaw naman ata non dba kung iisipin its associated wid dark forces. :)

[Krelian]

[sips coffee]

Practical ang black lalo na sa mga lakad na kailangan mo talagang pumorma, like dates or formal party. Kapag nadumihan kasi, usually (but not all the time) hindi halata.

[sips coffee]

It is also useful during winter. The heat of the sun travels as infrared rays and always travel with its light. We know that during summer, most people prefer wearing white, because white reflects all white colors, bringing the infrared rays with them. As for winter, the very few sunlight that penetrates the cloud gets absorb to your black outfit thus bring some of its heat into your body.

[WIEN]

krelian, tnx for the info. I'll wear black more often next winter:)
i don't wear black often.. i love the color gray... ;)

[NunaVu]

The colour of darkness is undoubtedly the most popular colour in fashion, when worn properly black clothing conveys neatness and simplicity.

[ad infinitum]

I like wearing black because I think it is a protective color. It is grounding and calming. For some people black is a spiritual color, while others also consider it as the color of death.

I often wear black in combination with white because I think black and white shows the balancing polarities of an individual.

I really like the "Matrix" look...don't know why? Maybe because I just like Keanu Reeves :bashful:

And besides black is a color that goes perfectly in combination with any other color.

[kidjay]

yeah i agree with that... it's easier to mix black with ur clothes... except that if ur attending an occasion with pipol who are very superstitious...
one time my grandma waned me to change my dress.. because i was wearing black on the wedding day of my uncle... :beg:

but i really like black... in school i wear black with khakis... its very comfy...

[kartoonista]

Because it's mysterious... It unconsciously invites and repels at the same time. Kaya gusto ng mga artists and ng mga bohemians. Like me?

I wish... http://cwm.ragesofsanity.com/ups/icis/ices_angel_g.gif

[luwa_ng_bulkan]

Kahit umaga and when the sun is bright naka-black ako lagi. Kahit sa beach naka-black shirt ako. That's because black makes me look thin.

Kaya nga yung mga assasins at thieves naka-black lagi kasi di-halata during their elements.

[Wicca]

I usually wear black. I love the fact that it makes me look slimmer. Its easier to match other colors with and even if I'm just wearing jeans, a black blouse makes the look a lot classier & stylish and less casual.

[RöttenMind]

i love wearing black coz it makes me look slimmer, and it goes well with other colors..

[thebrain]

Black may represent: formality, sadness or protest

Sabi nga ni bembol roco: "nasa nagdadala yan" :)


It is also a sign of magic and illusion...
Or of beauty and elegance...
Of humbleness and simplicity...
Or of deepness and eternity.

[Krelian]

correction guys, when I say ", because white reflects all white colors,". "All colors" lang dapat iyon, kasi kapg sinabing white, understood na lahat ng colors naroon na.

WIEN>> Thanks for your appreciation.

[sips coffee]

ad infinitum>> Hey I also love the "matrix" look. Yun bang naka black na trench coat, black na pantalon. White shirt sa loob ng trench coat, tapos samahan pa natin ng silver pendant at silver belt buckle. Okay yung black pero nag-go-glow kapag naliliwanagan. I also agree when you say it shows the balancing polarity of individual, although in "matrix" look, black is dominant.

[sips coffee]

[ophelia]

Since white reflects light and black absorbs it, some witches believe that wearing black makes them absorb more natural energy. :)

[-<FriD13th>-]

I like wearin Black coz it is commonly associated with sophistication and elegance. :dance:

[HellsKnight]

I wear black coz it best reflects my personality. I'm mysterious, near emotionless. Downside nga lang it tends to absorb heat kaya medyo uncomfortable pag summer.

[DigitalAnalog]

I do? :|

[IMHOTEP]

Well, it goes with anything i guess. 'nuff said

[gets]

it makes me look thinner.

[FarOutFreak]

I don't know. I just like black.

:silly:

[k!na]

i have more confidence wearing black than any other color. i wear black because i like the way it makes me feel... almost invincible. like nothing and nobody can harm me. it might sound weird but it's true.
black has a strong character and is very dominant yet it can also be simple and humble.

[Khaos]

why not? black is as good as any other color...

[vampire lestat]

black is something mysterious. vampires love it because coz it makes them more fashionable and elegant. black makes other people intrigue...... it is associated with the gothic and the darkness and death.........

[fr3nchk1ss]

i like wearing black coz it's a classic color. it goes with any other color, and makes you look more slim.

underlying meaning? i'm a psychology major, but we haven't gotten there yet. i think black has always been the color of mystery.

To wear BLACK is an ATTITUDE thing....go ahead......
GO AHEAD WITH YOUR BAD SELF..... :whip:

[Cerberus]

I love the dark.

;)

[blood_sucker09]

because it's elegant...timeless...
it makes me exude more power and confidence

[SmashingBlue]

for me black represents purity, it's as pure as white or any color. yeah it's true that it creates the illusion(?) of being slimmer
and yeah, it also brings out a sense of mystery to the wearer; some sort of enigma.

o nga pala, at least sa black hindi gaano halat kapag namatsahan (as long as hindi white yung stain):D

[lance_88]

black------> elegance, simplicity, strong! :)


but others view it bad.. dahil parang may namatay, well, nasa pag-dadala lang yan.

[akihra]

i like black because it makes me look slimmer :rolleyes:

:D

[mostwanted]

Because it makes me look thin. No other reason.

Black is popular because it will save you whenever you're faced with a fashion dilemma. Take the following scenarios for example:

Scenario 1 -- You're going to a happening club and your friends are picking you up in 5 minutes. Which shirt are you going to wear? That's right; your nice black shirt because it's slick, and matches everything else in your wardrobe.

Scenario 2 -- You're short on time and need to find a sweater to match the pants you're wearing. A very beautiful date is waiting, so which sweater do you think you'll end up wearing? You got it: your black V-neck because once again, as it can easily be combined with different trousers.

Scenario 3 -- It's Saturday afternoon and your boss calls you in for an emergency board meeting. Your company is issuing a press release that will double your personal portfolio (Yeah right, keep dreaming). The question is, which suit will you sport? Once again, black will bail you out, and the answer is your brand new black Ermenegildo Zegna suit (there you go, fantasizing again).

Scenario 4 -- You're going to the gym and you really want to impress that cute girl you've been eyeing for the past week. What color T-shirt are you going to wear? You guessed it; your tight black t-shirt will match any color shorts or track pants.

By now, I think you get the point I'm trying to make. Black has inspired designers the world over to produce some of their most influential work, and it's the answer when you're pressed for time or when you simply don't know what to wear. Black is basically the only color that can be coordinated with every other color. From the gothic look to the Wall Street power look, black has always been a very dominant and versatile color, and it will remain a force in the fashion industry.

[Sacrosanct]

i like to wear black coz its a color that stands out, yet in a subtle way. it sets you out while at the same time lets you blend in.

[crazyfunk88]

Black is the absence of light.

"Embrace The Darkness"
:evilgrin:

[teri1977]

There is class, discipline, control, restriction, protection and quiet power in black. There's this magical reversing, uncrossing and releasing effect on me. I wear black to balance my thoughts and emotions. I wear black because it's me.

[darkest_angel]

Black goes along with any color. Perhaps black represents myself...

[liberty]

astig kasi.

:blowsmoke:

[liberty]

depends on the kind of black outfit i wear:

goth black: a sense of connectedness with the spiritual/mystical; Beauty
wasted/depressed black: paradox; strength in being a loser
rocker black: eto ang astig, hehe

anyhow, black fills me with a sense of strength and character. minsan, dual purpose--pang defense mechanism din.

[Pao|o]

I wear black to see if I have balakubak

[SilverNightWind]

Because its easier to wash? :P

[Wittygurl]

I like wearing black coz it looks good on me.. elegant and classy..

It also gives a different character into a person depending on how they carry it.

[flashgod]

ask my friends who comes to mind when they think of the word black... Flashgod!

If only i could convince my wife to wear that favorite color of mine... ayaw nya kasi eh.

[crystalrose]

It's mysterious and dark.

It can go with almost anything.

It's elegant, sexy and sophisticated.

It makes people look thinner.

Can't really see the stains there!!!

[china_kyle]

[T0rMENt0R]

So that i would look whiter and i look better when im wearing black

[talipandas9]

3 reasons:

1) Black goes well with any color or you can be monochromatic in black and still look elegant.

2) It can go from casual to formal to what have you any time of the day.

3) Black = sexy

I'm not very tall and wearing a black top and pants/skirt gives me a long, lean look.

Always remember this tip-- beauty queens and models attest to it: BLACK makes one look THINNER... WHITE, on the other hand, makes one look TALLER... :)

[winner]

Of course. It hides everything. :D

[misbee]

it's classic and elegant. blends well with any color. makes you look slimmer.

[BaLdoMarO]

You gotta trust the French and Italians on this, BLACK is an irrefutable statement; an absolute must have in everyone's wardrobe. When you're in Paris or Milan, you will notice that the dwellers of such cities will not, and I repeat, will not wear any other color but BLACK or WHITE day in and day out... You guys have ecapsulated the reasons why BLACK is a must have color scheme in a person's wardrobe. Ill add 1 more thought though, White gives you that radiance. it gives you a very clean, neat finish and its a perfect color for summer coz it not only looks great it repels most of the heat from the sun! Having said that, it is also noteworthy to add, that to have a successful wardrobe balance needs to be achieved. Consult Louie Mamengo for more intimate details :D

Yeah, black spells sheer elegance and style... white, on the other hand, is a winning formula nowadays (especially for beauty pageants)... you can never go wrong in white...

Louie Mamengo creates fabulous black evening gowns! Remember Pebbles Asis' black number during Miss Universe 1987? It ranked 4th overall, giving top favorites Misses Venezuela and Puerto Rico a run for their money...
