Kirby Posted March 7, 2022 Share #1 Posted March 7, 2022 When it comes to your clothes, do you have a lot of color or is your whole wardrobe black, gray, white and beige? Does it depend on the season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razors Edge ★ Posted March 7, 2022 Share #2 Posted March 7, 2022 I prefer black t-shirts. But colorful bike jerseys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtyhip Posted March 7, 2022 Share #3 Posted March 7, 2022 Sometimes very bold colors. Today, I am in olive green and black. I do like earth tones and have been known to sport pink too. I like it all. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoseySusan Posted March 7, 2022 Share #7 Posted March 7, 2022 I’ve been using a Lenten devotional series that links Van Gogh’s paintings, excerpts from letters to his siblings, and Bible passages. The entry for this week asks about colors in our surroundings, so I’ve been thinking about this for a couple of days. My wardrobe is a neutral pallet and mostly darker tones. Right now, I’m wearing black yoga pants and a muted brown sweater. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shootingstar Posted March 7, 2022 Share #10 Posted March 7, 2022 I have wide range of colours. I tend to wear solid brighter/purer/light colours in tops or 1 design on T-shirt. Wide range...medium solid red, bright skye blue, some pink, etc. Come on folks, I have black hair. Why shouldn't I wear jewel/pure colours? I have solid orange fleecy, some jerseys have a bit of neon green. Then my pants/skirts are always very dark; black, blue or deeper grey. I never wear light-coloured bottoms. Sure I have solid neutral tops..cream white, blue. even black. But for someone with black hair, as one ages...it makes me seem gloomy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsharr ★ Posted March 7, 2022 Share #11 Posted March 7, 2022 My work wardrobe is jeans, boots, and a Blackboxstocks t shirt in black or gray. On weekends it is jeans and boots or khaki shorts and running shoes and a shirt I wear my Scout uniform a fair bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted March 7, 2022 Share #15 Posted March 7, 2022 All bright colors. Red, Safety green, yellows, orange, bright blue. My track pants tend toward grey but that's so I can wear any shirt anytime. When I dress conservatively it's in camo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sidewalks at Xanadu. You only find those in the city areas. Walking is great by my home. True outdoors. There are mountain lions. They mostly keep to themselves. There has never been an attack here. People like to freak put about their dogs and cats, but they moved into the cat territory. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shootingstar Posted March 8, 2022 Share #21 Posted March 8, 2022 I see no reason to darken, over-neutralize my colour choices worn close to my face, as I get older. In fact, think the opposite, show lightness/warmth/happiness....as you look older. Rethink this or at least know how to jazz stuff up with a hat, scarf, tie, etc. So far, I've stayed away from buying another black coat/parka. I already for the past 20 yrs., wear sleek dress light and long, black coat for....weddings and funerals. Yes, I aim to still fit my most classic well-cut pieces. And 2 black dress suit jackets . ...That's enough ...for life forever. Forever. So next winter, I will look for a new red, ultramarine blue or non-black parka/down longish winter jacket. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've stayed with friends who live in towns with population of 2,000. they don't live far from town centre. Places with sidewalks...which encourage walking often..for daily health! That's part of a healthy,liveable neighbourhood from ages 8 to 80 yrs. old. The most progressive urban (your 5 letter swear word ) planners are working towards.

shootingstar Posted March 8, 2022 Share #26 Posted March 8, 2022 I find this interesting colour choices among the men here Dearie made sure he wore high-vi yellow, lime green or red cycling jackets. For the whole of the time we were together. That's very consistent. For him, safety of being seen was priority. He made sure he didn't buy a black helmet. Just wrong. Remember we didn't have a car. Bike dependency was high. He had and wore occasionally 1-2 navy blue light jackets....he actually was tired of straight blue..because it was bought often as a child/teen to match his eyes. I actually didn't like him in navy, it dullened his whole personnae. He wore expensive red jackets...winter, etc. He loved wearing red fleecy jackets, orange, mid forest green tops, etc. I always thought he looked handsome with his greying...later to white beard. Eve when he gained weight, he didn't change his top colours near his face, much at all. Sure he would wear deep purple turtleneck, red, etc. I didn't know my guy was far more creative in his brighter colour choices...right to the end of life. Of course, I enjoyed buying some of these gift choices which he enjoyed wearing often. So guys....jazz it up!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I’ll have my wife pick some items for me as I tend to gravitate to the same looking items but honestly I won’t wear them much. I just like what I like. I do have brighter cycling clothes for higher visibility. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groupw Posted March 8, 2022 Share #41 Posted March 8, 2022 I have a lot of black t shirts with some image on them. Red is a good color for me so I have some shirts in red. Some blues grays and a couple green. I even have a couple Jordan yellow t shirts from when they were a Formula 1 team. I usually bring WoW with when I want color because I am just color blind enough to get it wrong quickly! I wear very bright cycling clothes. If a driver says he didn’t see me, he’s either lying or was texting! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not any more. 3 decades ago, it noticeable for summer light colours for women. Less so for men. Now with hybrid working from home, it's doubtful people would be that attentive to seasonal colours. One doesn't wear white pants in winter in snowy places..unless one is in a professional that requires whites..which right now, alot of health care professionals wear all sorts of colours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
