Dressing in only one color

[mrip]

Came across this article, thought it was pretty cool.

It must be hard to clash when you wear all brown.

Impossible. The great thing about brown is when it fades, you can’t tell what color it originally was. There’s no sense of the “right†color saturation.

pretty interesting, too OCD for me. life is better in crayola, but the avid nothing-but-black-clothes posters here probably beg to differ.

That grey lady seemed to be super pretentious.

As far as dressing in one color goes, I find it strange that people can get away with wearing all "kelly green" every day and just be looked at as eccentric, or having a "fun" style, but if you go out wearing all black a few days in a row you're almost automatically put in the goth category.

the grey girl looked kinda hot in the magazine photo, but after myspace some myspace lurking, she is not. also, she has a lot of green stuff going on, including the logo for her brand.

I went to Rome to do my master’s in ’82. I wore all black, with pink hair. But that was considered Fascist. I had to tone down my dress.

japes........

Brown is very underrated as a color.

There are tons of double standards like this and in an *ideal* world it wouldn't happen but it's pretty obvious why green would make someone eccentric but black would make someone goth.

Cool article, the girl who wore blue was my favorite. I thought it was pathetic how the guy who wore all brown missed a wedding though. But I suppose if he was willing to miss it it must not have been someone terribly close to him.

dressing in all black is one of the finer joys of life.

Seriously. Could you imagine a scenario where you wouldn't go to a friend/relative's wedding because you couldn't wear brown???

i'm impressed by their level of commitment.

and it was nice to see rebecca turnbow in there because it made me go look at her collection which I haven't seen since 2005. new stuff looks good, still keeping her trademark looks but making them a bit more wearable.

karim is dope.... i see how u think his style is contrived or artificial......ill admit he needs to chill on the pink gimmick.....but i think his style is a reflection of his philosophy on life and design...karim's steez has more relevance than someone looking like a vampire ninja from 1700's or a union worker from the turn of the century ...

Some people could pull off the sense of dressing only in one color idk some colors work but i think more subtle colors work lol .. who wants to dress in all green :/

[thomas_highstreet]

pixies and the grinch.

[Fookums]

Haha, I never knew Stephin Merrit wore all brown.

It fits him.

[Kitsune]

very tack, IMO.

Where's the variety?

[kapay]

I had that 'white is right' mentality in high school. I liked dressing rather flashy and I thought white was as flashy as they come (aside from metalic colors). Sometimes I snuck in red or wore baby blue but I ususally stuck to my white. I also despised the color grey (particularly heather grey) for the reason that designer explained... it's very neutral. I felt no one would been seen or noticed wearing grey.

I always believed I'd embrace white. Even now it's still my favorite color. But I'm currently wearing a combo of heather grey and forest green.
