Black Is The New Black

Throughout the past few months, I really have come to notice my liking of the color black. Something about a black wardrobe intrigues me. Every time I go shopping, I come home with bags filled with black, white, and grey clothing (sometimes it's without notice). There's something in the simplicity of the color black that makes it so wearable. You can't wear the same red shirt over and over again, but you most definitely can re-wear a black shirt as many times as you want. There's so much you can do to make a black shirt unique every time you wear it, which is why I love the color so much. Changing the bottom you wear, adding a printed scarf, and even layering it with other clothes are all options. You can probably wear the same plain black shirt three to four times in a row in different ways, and chances are no one around you will have a clue.

The color black also makes every outfit look that much cooler. I don't know about you, but I tend to migrate towards people dressed in sleek colors (black, white, grey) rather than colorful people. Maybe that says something about my personality... maybe not. I also get bothered when people say "_____ is the new black." No. No color on the spectrum could ever replace the powerful, yet simple color of black. (At least in my opinion.) I see 2015 as the year of black and white (of course, wherever there is black and white, there is grey). People could have so many different looks with just two colors. One day you could go for a rocker-chic look (credit to my mom for that term), while the next day rocking a simple, classy look. There are so many possibilities for style with just one color. I don't think you could ever go wrong with black clothing.

I'm sure you're concerned with how to rock black during the spring and summer seasons, and I'm not sure how to answer that. Perhaps once the "colorful" seasons arrive, fashionistas across the world will have found a way to incorporate the basic, dark color into the colorful, seasonal wardrobes. Anything is possible. As for now, I'm going to enjoy the rest of the winter season wearing my 90% black wardrobe loudly and proudly. They do say simplicity is key. And besides, black is a slimming color. Just saying.

A wise shirt once read, "Life could be colorful, but it's better if you stay true to black." Like it? find the shirt at your local Zara store on sale for only $12.99!
