Are Little Black Dresses (LBD) Still Stylish And Sexy?
Black Is Not Sexy But Just Plain Boring!
So many women dress in black, and I’m not talking about Muslims, and if you ask them why then they’ll answer something similar to, “Black always looks good and it never goes out of fashion” etc.
I am personally sick of seeing women in black and think that it shows a total lack of imagination; and I don’t find it attractive at all.
Bright colors and a happy smile are much more appealing to me.
So let’s get women to burn their dozens of “classy black” dresses and get them to start using some imagination.
The nineteenth century is dead and gone gals so it’s time to toss out that Victorian Black!
Why, oh why, has this old fogey fashion idea clung to us so tightly, that even the thought of wearing dark blue is forbidden?
I went to a party last week and there were so many women in black that I thought that I’d gone to a funeral by mistake.
This is the 21st century folks!
Time to trash that fogey old fashion and bring out the COLORS!!!
Actually, it was Coco Chanel that created the Little Black Dress in the 1930’s and that was in the twentieth century, guys.
Black absorbs light which makes women look thinner and most of us gals think that we look great in our little black dresses, but if I see more negative comments from men then I might have to think again.
Ask me if she looks good or not and I’d say she looks like a clown!
And certainly not SEXY!
I just bought myself this cute little number for $35
Just tell me that men won’t be drooling at the next party that I go to!
Hey! I have a sense of humor you know
How is a black dress any less “imaginative” than a red one? Filling one piece of clothing with one solid colour isn’t anymore mentally taxing than any other one.
I know it’s fashion, but the judgement that “black is lazy” strikes me as superficial.
Hi Iocane,
Do you think the three women in the picture look good in their black outfits?
Black is the absence of light and therefore the absence of color so most women (and perhaps many men) feel that they can wear it with anything.
If you wear one color and want to add another then you have to think about what would match it.
With black you don’t have to and that’s why it’s ‘lazy’.
You put on something red and have to think about what to wear with it.
My opinion anyway.
BTW – I hate wearing black ..
Hi Iocane.
Good to have you aboard!
I don’t know if you’ve ever been to an Iranian party or not but the men wear black shirts, black jackets and black shoes etc.
Found you a photo that will give you the feeling, but they’re not Iranian men (as far as I know) and they’re obviously not at a party.
Men in black.
And don’t even think about asking one of the girls or women to dance.
I don’t think Paris Hilton looks attractive no matter what she wears. Also, all three pictures are taken in harsh lighting, and the cuts aren’t particularly great. These pictures don’t look great, but black clothing can look good.
They wouldn’t have looked better in any other solid colour.
Wearing black is okay especially with the right accessories which doesn’t have to be black, too!
