why black? (fashion tips for the summer)

[billee]

I think I may have one dark grey item of clothing in my wardrobe.




Otherwise it's all black !!!!!!!

You can stock your wardrobe with light denims, khaki and even linen. Another thing to think about is tank tops.The most important aspect to look fashionable is to dress comfortably. You surely don't want to be a crazy fashionista while complaining with discomfort.

In a recent article Robert stated that its slimming. So i would agree yes ,its for protection reasons.

The main feature from black is that it doesn't reflect the sunlight, and
that's why it is so pleasant in the summer. Meanwhile I like the combination
with different colors although it isn't a "color" for real. It is partial darkness.
Edmund Burke once wrote "A Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of Our
Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful" with some effects of blackness.
For special occasions I like the black tone but not for every day life.

Hm, I always had the feeling that black makes me feel more heat in the sunlight (probably because it doesn't reflect the sunlight, but absorbs it!), thus I try to avoid black on hot summer days...

I meant it is more pleasant for the eyes of the observer. Of course,
it is hotter but the air circulation inside is better-loose black clothes presupposed.

Yes, of course white and bright colours can be a bit "blinding" in the sun.
But other than that, I don't really care much about it...

It's a funny thing to wear a Cure T-shirt in spa gardens ('Kurpark' in German).
I did it last summer a few times and some people passed by with a smile. I knew they
did it because of the pun.
