Oh no a new ninja

You'll just spend all your time removing dog/cat hairs and fluff.

monochromatic is a fucking cope in the fashion world. Do you know how hard it is to fuck up an all black fit? And don't patronize me with "muh textures, muh depth using different materials" wow you sure are so knowledgeable about fashion. Learn how to style clothes with fucking color then you may actually hope to be truly fashionable you fucking joke.

>>14734066
only because it's harder to dress in different colors , doesn't mean it's better.

>>14734066
>muh textures, muh depth using different materials
kek
>disregard everything, just focus on colour or you know NOTHING about fashion
how'd you type this unironically big guy?

>>14734066
I swear there's only one guy on this board posting this crap because every time somebody is trying to bash dressing monochrome the reply is so formulatic. If your ability to dress yourself is anything like your ability to write creatively then we can all safely assume that you're simply talking out of your ass and bashing monochrome for some petty personal reason. I suppose I dress monochrome about half the time and use various colours the other, and it's the monochrome which is harder to pull off to a standard that becomes interesting. I bet you've never even tried putting together an interesting monochrome fit in your life, probably because you don't know where to start. Here's some inspo for you, take it back to /r/MFA where you belong and don't come back.

What place was this picture shot?

>>14734105
Great post.

>>14734105
this is retarded larp

>>14734046
Black, it's what fatties and insecure wh*te people love

>>14734066
I believe it's the opposite. It's extremely hard to dress in all black and not come off as socially retarded.

>Dressing in all black is the epitome of being effay.

It's true

>>14734368
dumbest thing i've read on here all day

>>14734368
Smartest thing I've read on here all day.

>>14734381
where's dylan our prophet

>>14734368
millions of city folk wear black every day because it hides dirt and looks professional at the same time

I used to, but then I got bored. I play with a bit of earth tones

>>14734381
This. Black is turbocringe

>>14734077
Not what I said at all. If you can effectively incorporate color into your fit rather than relying on the crutch that is monochrome only fits then you are placing yourself on a higher tier. Being able to pull together material knowledge, the weight and layering of garments, knowing color blocking and what colors and shade compliment each other rather than only choosing from white gray, black and black.

Looks pretty good in pictures but all that drapes shit is impractical if they’re going out in public with. The fault with monochrome is that if you put those exact same clothes in any color, white, red, baby blue it’s still the exact same fit. By incorporating different colors into a fit you can change the whole feel/mood of a fit, Pastels for spring, whites and tans for summer, Browns and olives for fall.

>>14734689
i disagree with the idea that people should play with different colours according to mood/season.
if you want to look the best you have to learn what colours work best with your skin tone/undertone, hair colour, eye colour. in fact some people look worse in black than on colour.
it gets easier to use colour in your fits if you know what works for you.
e.g. a person with dark hair and cool skin looks great in jewel tones, while a person with light hair and tan skin would look better in pastels
sorry for autism

I own no black clothing.

It's an appeal to complexity. Wearing all black is easy, so you cannot possibly be that knowledgeable about fashion; therefore, wearing all black is a sign that you're not actually terribly fashionable.

>>14734105
Jesus christ, that photo just throws evidence to your opponent. All those layers and the lack of differentiation in texture has rendered the whole thing flat and uninteresting.

>>14735248
>lack of differentiation in texture
are you blind? I can notice every texture and item of clothing there, stop phone posting

Yes, I have. I exclusively wear all black.

>>14735239
I was merely using it as an example of how an outfit could be made more interesting utilizing colors. I agree that individuals should dress as to complement their skin type.

Let us begin:

In pic related: >>14734105
The person is wearing what appears to be a black turtle neck under a black button up with a black scarf under some sort of casual sports jacket with lapels upturned all under a black overcoat/trench coat. Looking below the waist line we see the ends of the scarf and what only can be discerned as some sort of long rectangular draw string perhaps being apart of the pants? The pants themselves being black wide legged cropped trousers.

Now of those items, it can be said that there is no textural difference between the button up shirt, sports jacket, trench coat, or pants. If you can tell me how those textures differ please enlighten me. However from what I see all those items are made out of the same material which gives off an almost shiny, 90's track suit sheen almost as if the fabric is entirely synthetic or at least a large percentage synthetic.

Awesome. Proper discussion is rare here these days. If you have any really nice vibrantly coloured fits to post that would be cool, but let's stay away from runway stuff.
Like I said before, I dress monochrome about half the time. That being said I don't have anything against colour, I just don't view excessive hate towards full black as necessary. Being that I am Asian I may also have some bias towards the style as it's easier for me to wear drapey styles of outfits without being seen as larping.
To start, I would like to remind anybody else reading this that black comes in many different shades, and that there are red based blacks, brown based blacks, blue based blacks, so on and so forth. So in a full black outfit, picking out suitable shades of black is one thing to consider. In this picture the blacks are all of a similar lighter shade, which whilst does detract from the variation texture, creates a uniformity which adds to the drape and adds an air of solemnity, the drape being the most impressive aspect of the outfit for me. I do see your point with the synthetics in the fabric but don't think it's as shiny as you're making it out to be.
Pieces being worn sounds about right. That's five visible layers of clothing on the torso. But with a coloured outfit we can put on two or three and call it a day and use differing colours or patterns to make up for what layering different cuts of the same colour can do. Don't forget the fact that individually all the pieces can be considered on the more fomal side of dress, but when put together this way give off a completely different impression.
tl;dr, variation in texture and colour sacrificed for better drape, flow, and unity of concept. But would you bash somebody for having no variatous in texture, shirt and tie aside, when they wear a three piece suit?

>>14734046
Been that way since 2010

based

I used to dress in all black, but then I realized how autistic it looks and lacks any form of creativity and theres only so much you can do with one color. Now I almost never buy black clothes.

>>14735831
Yeah I don't think you shook the autism

I was just thinking about how dreary this place was today, ya'll just dress in black or dark earth tones. Damn emos need to build some confidence and try something colourful for once.

>>14734105
So I should dress like neo from the matrix if he didn’t have the money for leather or a tailor like you?

>>14735251
There's quite a lot of grain on that photo too.

>>14734066
>t.SEETHING rainbow faggot

>>14735844
I'm the opposite, wore colorful shit majority of my life and got bored
