Black as a leading fashion color has come and gone like many trends but in recent times, black is as strong a color statement in menswear as ever. So what is it about black that makes it first choice for many apparel items? No doubt that it is a pure and sexy color, especially when worn as part of an all black look or to accentuate another hot color. It is also a color that in most cases, is very flattering regardless of hair or eye color. It has a way of making most guys look better, even more fit. Yet with all the good things that black has to offer, there is more to the domination of black in mens clothes and accessories than sex appeal and self flattery.
Black is a powerful color because it is hue-less. It does not emit or reflect light and is labeled achromatic. Perhaps that is why it is a color associated with power and sophistication in western culture, especially in fashion where it seems anything black is considered a wardrobe basic.
Like the dark of night, black has a certain mystique to it; even a kind of “bad boy” image for those who wear it. When all white can be inappropriate at times (like at night), as a go with everything color, black never fails, even when worn alone. It is the top selling color in boots, shoes and belts for men because of its dressy uniformity and versatility. In mens leather jewelry like necklaces, bracelets and earrings, black is consistently the top selling color at Palm Leather.
