Does anyone else tend to wear only one or two colours?

I wear pretty much only black, with a little gray mixed in for variety. My closet is a wall of black with maybe one or two white shirts peeking through. Black is classic, stylish, and looks good on almost everyone. And it’s low maintainence.

A lot of blacks, blues, greens, dark reds, and the odd orange piece; very saturated colors, I suppose. I have trouble doing white laundry because the only thing I own that’s white are my socks.

If you put him beside mine, you’d have a pair. Once, there was a dark green shirt mixed in, but even that looked bruise-y.

Nope, I wear all sorts of colors.

I like color.

Owing to my color-blindness, I avoid bright, look-at-me hues and cling to humble earth tones. Green and brown are generally different shades of the same color to me. Black jeans, khaki slacks. Solid color shirts, preferably white, black, or charcoal gray. White or black socks. For some reason, I like orange tee-shirts. I do not care for blue at all. I currently wear a dark blue windbreaker, a recent gift, but whenever I put it on I say to myself: this isn’t me, this is a disguise.

If I had my druthers I would dress like Patrick McGoohan in *The Prisoner *. Or Barnabas Collins circa 1795.

There’s my husband’s gi, I guess. I can’t think of anything else white.

A friend said of me, that I blended right into the wallpaper, assuming the wallpaper was burgundy.

All blue all the time for me-usually dark navy or ocean blue. Some black here and there.
Blue is simply my favorite color and I cringe when I see myself in the mirror wearing any
other colors…

99% of my clothes are black, gray and green, and a few pairs of blue jeans.

I would never be caught dead wearing red, maroon, orange or bright pink.

Well, no, black DOESN’T look good on almost everyone. Quite a few people wear black who shouldn’t.

Hmm. Before peeking in my closet, I would have guessed I wear mostly blues, blacks, and dark browns. Turns out that, no, on top of those colours, I have a lot of dark greens, greys, dark to light pink, tan, dark purple, a couple of reds (they aren’t “in your face” reds, they are more subtle) aaaand… nope, that’s it. No oranges or yellows. Oh, and also, zero whites. I can wear some light colours if I balance it out with darker - otherwise it washes the colour out of my skin.

Mostly earth tones. Greens (light and dark, but not like ‘neon’ or ‘crayola’ green,) some light browns and tans. I also have one red shirt (my communist party shirt,) and a couple…umm…hard to describe the color, but I guess a combo of orange and salmon? :confused:

I concur. I’ve had pretty much everyone I know tell me I should not wear anything black or even dark blue. The only time I wear black is for my job where I have to, and a Halloween costume a few weeks back.

I just checked my closet :smiley:

Suits run the gamut, but it appears I trend towards white/cream/ecru/oyster in tops. Never noticed that before.

Pants: blue jeans or black jeans.
Shirts: blue, green, black, gray, or dark red (maroon)–t-shirts or polo shirts–usually solid color.

Blue Jeans, with a white tshirt or a blue workshirt. Literally that’s it.

I’m one of them. Black looks horrible on me. I don’t even like the way I feel when I wear black, it seems to suck the energy out of me. It looks great on other people but not on me.
I wear mostly light colors like tans, beige, white or earth tones because that looks best on me.

You might not like red, but it does look good on most people. I’ve read that as you get older, a good color for your complexion is pink. Don’t know how true that is.

A color I’ve never worn and probably never will is purple.

Well, black CAN be all of those things that you listed. It can also be drab and depressing. If you’re going to wear all black, please make sure that it’s good quality, well fitting black (not that yours isn’t, Indygrrl).

I don’t know why, but poorly fitting, cheap quality clothing looks infinitely worse in black than in any other colour. I can think of a couple of occasions where I’ve seen an all black outfit that was actually cringe worthy.

I like to think I’m not heavily influenced by fashion, but I know that’s not true when I contemplate the colours in my wardrobe. Every year I seem to acquire a whole bunch of clothes in a new colour and it dominates my wardrobe for a while. Last winter, it was brown. This summer, I think there’s a lot of reds and pinks - and once upon a time, I never ever wore pink at all.

Despite this, I think the core colours in my wardrobe seem to be earth tones - greens, browns. There’s some black but very rarely white.

My shirts are:
Black, White, Grey, and variants of blue and red.

Black, brown, red, mostly

Never wear blue, have no idea why
