Fashion's devotion to Black - do you wear it?

Not really a colour yet it makes up a large part of my wardrobe. The little black dress (championed by Coco Chanel), black trousers for all seasons to dress up or down, black lingerie....black boots, my patent black high-heels, the list goes on.

Black is full of symbolism. Think black: thoughts, looks, moods, magic, shirts....

White is worn for Christenings and weddings, think purity and light. Black for funerals since roman times, think death, darkness....evil? Good and Bad -Ben Hur rides in the Chariot race with white arab horses, Mesalla has Black ones - he's the baddy... Then there was that song, Black is black..

Black is supposed to make us look slimmer and more chic, even cheap black clothes have this effect..a winner all round.

Do you wear black, how do you wear it and how does it make you feel?
