I absolutely adore color but I have found myself veering toward black in the last six months. I even trimmed my Christmas tree in all black accouterments.

This new found love seemed to blossom out of nowhere, I can only assume it was based on a variety of environmental factors or the sheer fact of how incredibly easy the non-color is to wear.

You don't stand out in a crowd, you always match AND you look slim. What's not to love about that?

According to experts, there are a couple of big reasons. For one, it emphasizes the bags under your eyes and two, it tends to make wrinkles more prominent. They even go as far as to say that four out of five people cannot pull off black clothes.

What do you think? Are you tempted to throw away the black and make way for some color or are you stuck in your "the blacker the better" ways?

If I could dress in all black, all day every day, I totally would! You know that saying "___ is the new black" Well, black will always be the new black...except for the guy in the second picture. I feel bad for his legs.
