Used to love wearing enough black in my 20's- mid 30's. But I've pulled away from that. My skin after all that cycling does not take alot black around my face too well unless I wear some jewellery metal shine near my face and I get my hair cut short enough. ...which I'm not consistent on frequent cuts. (well it costs money!)

Honest it reminds me of elderly Asian women wearing lots of grey and more drab colours that it sucks the life out of them.

But I agree I wear primarily solids 80% of the time --it does feel and in my opinion, over the years on any woman, just looks more elegant. There's less distraction to looking at the person. You see the "essence" of the woman shine through her face, the "experience" of life and how she carries herself. Same for a guy.
