MEN IN BLACK

Black is quite a favorite color in fashion. Both men and women like black. And it’s easy to see why.

Black comes across as mysterious and, therefore, ‘sophistica­ted’. The men, particular­ly, tend to gain some extra confidence in wearing black, perhaps thinking it makes them look tough or solid. Indeed, black is just for smart style and formal wear.

But everyone – men and women – shall be careful when buying black clothing. When a piece of black clothing is of low quality, after a few washes it fades to an icky grey color. With black, quality is very important.

Those living in a warm climate, like the Philippine­s, shall be doubly careful. Wearing too much black in their outfits can look awkward and feel awkward, according to the fashion experts at http:// onpointfre­sh.com. The reason? Sunny climates are meant for color!

The same experts advise that those in warm regions shall not be afraid to throw some color into their black outfits. Throwing in some neutral colors can be a great way to spice up an allblack outfit and give it life, they explain.

Actually, there is nothing wrong with wearing an all-black outfit. But the http://onpointfre­sh.com website cautions everyone to make sure that black doesn’t take over the entire wardrobe like it has a tendency to. Wearing black all day every day can and will get boring. This can be especially so for men because, again, black can come across as quite solid on men.

Black outfits may be layered with things such as hoodies and black leather jackets, which can make for a great look. Pops of color – whether complement­ary or contrastin­g – can also diffuse the solidity of allblack, to make the outfit more interestin­g.

Sometimes when the outfit calls for it, adds the http://onpointfre­sh.com website, throwing some vibrant or earth tone colors can make an all-black outfit look even better. A different color here and there can diffuse the boredom of a solid color.

All-black has no boundaries, the website concludes, it can work in standard formal wear, in casual and smart wear, and even in streetwear. And men in black look, well… awesome!
