I feel people tend to wear black to ‘fit in’ with the masses. In addition, I feel wearing black also shows lack of self-expression and confidence in making a decision about what color to wear. Basically, black is “safe” and hides under the guise that it is chic.

When I see someone dressed in all black, I think they are trying to hard to fit in, and don’t have a strong sense in who they are fashion-wise.

In simpler terms, wearing all black is a cop out, and lacks creativity in any means.

I love wearing black (even if it’s a full black from top to bottom), it is simplifies one character of the wearer, elegant!

Une Parisienne… Not sure moving from navy blue to black is a compelling sign of style emancipation. Plus chic, chic… Is black still chic if it’s what everybody wears?! Is chic compatible with numbers? (Just asking questions here. )

A white collar ? Navy blue ?? No way !
Do you want us to go back to those dreaded years in catholic schools ? En vérité, le noir ne fait pas qu’amincir : Le noir, c’est chic

Chris… Wow, I had no idea black was invented somewhere between late 18th and early 19th century in Australia. I’m so candid at times!

This maybe upsetting to Parisians and francophiles, but there is an abundance of evidence to demonstrate that black first became fashionable in Melbourne, Australia.

Lagatta… Well, grey is the color of the skies, siedwalks, roofs and souls in Paris. I know that Burgundy color you’re referring to. Vert bouteille also works in the same vein. Assez chic, catho prout prout.
Bob Carpenter… Nice plug! Well, can you name a great French couturier since Jean-Paul Gaultier?
Claire… Ahhh… California….
Thomas… Was 1989 really 21 years ago?
Paris Fan… You joyful you!
