Black… the new black.

Is wearing all black fashionable? Or just lazy?

Dear Monotone Curious,

There are many answers to your question.

1. If you are going to a costume party as Johnny Cash, a Goth or Robert Smith from the Cure, wearing black is not lazy, but I wouldn't say it is fashionable per se.
2. If you are wearing all black to set off your accessories, it can be very fashionable if your blacks match and your accessories are actually as fabulous as you think they are.
3. If you are wearing all black because your clothes are so dirty that they just look black, then you are personally quite disgusting.
4. If you wear all black out of laziness, then guess what? It means you are indeed lazy.

So in short, there is no real answer, but if your intentions are good and/or you look great (whether deliberately or by mistake), usually laziness is not a concern.
