A color that combines with everything, elegant and timeless. These are some of the reasons why we love the color black in clothing so much. The hashtag #allblackeverything (all black) on Instagram is currently used over 3 million times.
Not only ordinary people, but also many stylists and people in the field of fashion, there is something different in the color black that makes everyone love and wear it always.
A fashion psychologist (yes, there are some), Anabel Maldonado says that one of his theories about black is that the color black is a "weapon form". He links the excessive use of the color black with the retention of negative emotions.
According to the psychology of colors and a definition of the use of colors based on human behavior, black has the quality of "emotional protection". The color black represents authority, power and discipline and dressing in this color is a way to communicate an authoritarian image.
Dark colors create a barrier between yourself and the outside world, keeping people away and creating an area of ??comfort, hiding weaknesses and insecurities. They function as a shield for those who need it.
According to a study of 300 women regarding color preferences, people with anxiety problems were likely to choose black about 3 times more. People with "anxiety" and "melancholy" qualities were also twice as likely to admit that they wore black more than other colors.
However, not always the definitions of what we wear or the colors we use are direct indicators of what we are, but often clothing is one of the ways people express their worldview.
