A Closet Confession: Colours In Monochrome

By merit.ahama on 8/2/2025

I thought my favourite colour is blue, I still think so but somehow, I can count only up to ten clothes I love to wear that are in my favourite colour, blue. One colour that will always be in my closet is the black colour but if I must state it, I'm not a fan of black when it comes to clothings.

I believe the main reason many people love black wears is because it is a multi purpose colour, can be use to wear almost anything. I actually admire people who have succeeded to make an all black clothing look veyy attractive but I rarely get to do the same except when I wear black only gowns.

Clothes is one way people use to describe people so being intentional about what we wear goes a long way in keeping a good or bad idea of you to otehrs. Thankfully, I didn't have to pick my wears until I grew older and that's like a year or two years ago and I've been more intentional with it.

I realized I love my black skirts, shorts and trousers if I ever get to have one because they tend to go with whatever I wear on top. I do have black gowns too and a few other black tops but there are a lot of colourful wears among them, my favourite colour blue is also part of them.

One thing is clear, I prefer the blacks to be less on me when I want to dress up but I also hate too bright colours. I guess that's why I have blacks or darker colours to mix it up and give me the right look I want. Since I've only started to be intentional about my wears, it's looking better.

There are the right amount of black, brown and dark coloured wears. But for my gowns and without being intentional, I seem to have a lot of them in colours not black. My wardrobe most colour changes and I think I like it that way but I won't be comfortable if black takes most of it.

I don't know if I'm the only one who thinks black shoe wears, black head ties and black bags are perfect than black wears itself. It's what I think so it influences how I use my wardrobe when I have to dress, the black is never dominant but I could have a lot of them in my wardrobe for balance.

My wardrobe plan is getting more wears in my favourite colour, blue and more mixed colour wears as I feel they improve my look and skin colour a lot. It doesn't mean I don't like or wear black or even all black clothings. I do but for the main purpose of looking different from the usual.

Conclusively, whatever colour dominates my wardrobe doesn't really matter as I prioritise how comfortable my clothes are for me over the colours they come in. My only bias is always the colour, blue but it doesn't make me dress just anyhow I feel like. Modesty remains a key point.

I love black, it gives this aura and powerful look. I also love color combinations.

That's very true about black.

It's nice that you use black to accessorise colored garments. And gowns or dresses in colors, you look great in them!🄰

I feel you. Sacrificing comfort doesn't make sense, unless you're on a runway (modeling), hehe!

Thank you for showing us your style in colors :)

Funny when people ask me what my favorite color is, I used to tell them skyblue meanwhile my wardrobe is filled with black and white.

So now when they ask me I just say black and white, I don't have strength to be explaining anything

Lol this happens a lot, I get surprised when I see someone actually making their wardrobe show their favourite colour.

I have a few friends that loves black and they really do not mind all their dress or clothing being black colour. I don't even think I like black as a colour, let alone my outfits being all black. I just like the idea of black not being selective and can literally go with any colour of accessories. Not that I like it as a favourite colour such that all my dresses will be dominated by it. But speak of favourites, I think with my accessories, I will always prefer the black colour cause it can match a good number of coloured dresses in my wardrobe. I prefer my bags and shoes being black to my dresses being black too. I love the mixture of different colours, and how people think I look good in all those colours Meanwhile you look good in all the above dress especially the peach gown and black top with a skirt

We think alike about black colour as regards to fashion, it's at the best for me when used to compliment other colours.

Thanks for stopping by. šŸ™‚

Black is my favorite color but I don't need to choose black when it comes to clothes. In that case I always prefer if a clothes looks good if I wear that. That's all. !LUV

merit.ahama's avatar @merit.ahama 8/3/2025

Yeah, that's the best approach to clothing and comfortability.

nhaji01's avatar @nhaji01 8/3/2025

I love how colorful your clothing are. It gives off that youthful vibe. ā¤ļø

As for me, I’m all about work and business and so I just stick to the official stuff even though I sometimes try to make it colorful.šŸ˜…

merit.ahama's avatar @merit.ahama 8/3/2025

Haha I can relate, had to live that way for a few months when I worked with a law firm. šŸ˜…

nhaji01's avatar @nhaji01 8/3/2025

Maybe I should start going out more.šŸ˜…

merit.ahama's avatar @merit.ahama 8/3/2025

Yes! That's the only way to use your other coloured wears. šŸ˜
