Why Is the Fashion Industry Obsessed with Wearing All Black Outfits? 

YES! this comment is absolutely on point, i would point out that often the tweaks to similar designs (ie skirts or skinny jeans) targeted at men vs women are often really just about comfort or making the clothes more flattering for a different body type than they were originally created for, but your bigger point about “gender bending rules” or norms absolutely stands. i was discussing the origin of fashion sub cultures and counter culture in general with a friend a while ago and one of the most interesting topics to come up was how counter culture as a concept both implies and requires a base understanding of the “culture” it is rebelling against. in my experience this can be found rampant in queer spaces as well where there is such a long and rich history of subtextual visual and performative language that the community as a whole is really struggling to make the shift away from the detailed, structured code of older generations to the more open and fluid attitudes of younger queer people such as myself. point being, i feel like any time subtextual rebellion is elevated out of the realm of subtext it’s structure tends to break down in ways that are deeply challenging for their communities and identities. just my 2c, hope you’re still rocking the blue lipstick!

Yeah I've noticed this but never have put it to words, very well said

Mens fashion skirts still stick to culturally established instances of mens skirts, like kilts, ihram and other religious robey garb, etc. Shorter ones are often presented as layers rather than standalone. The silhouettes tend to be straight and boxy, "masculine", I don't think I've ever seen anything flouncy or delicate.

@rz1974 exactly haha, or they add extra "utility" functions, lots of pockets or Waterproof materials. If a man is wearing a skirt and isn't crossdressing, amd it isn't some kind of traditional garment, there's a high chance it's "layered" , boxy, and or has tons of pockets.

@@unfairisle thank you

fancy seeing you here Tuba haha a long-term sub waving at ya!

@@by_sha haha hiiii!

this is lovely, thanks for sharing!!

not really, unless you wash hot nowadays you can just throw everything together.

Architecture designers also wear a lot of black.

Its because the fashion industry is so depressing lol

Uh, vampires tend to wear all black ...and that is pretty gender neutral ....especially at night.

Yes, contrary to the prevailing opinion, black doesn't suit everyone!

probably because dark colours absorb warmth, i notice clothes in most cold countries have black as popular wearing colour, lots of dark colours here in ireland too

The recent Dries van Noten Mens show 💫💫

Nobody seeing my bare arms anymore unless it's at the pool. I don't know what Rick's doing.

All the clothes IDs are at the beginning of the video 💫💫

@@BlissFoster which collection/year is this t from?

He’s FashionRoadman on IG, he’s probably got a list of his articles there 💫💫

Elaborate

Clothes IDs are always at the beginning of every video 💫💫

​@@BlissFoster omg thanks for the answer! Never paid attention to it 😅

As someone who has witnessed what happens when Somalis move into a predominantly Jamaican neighborhood, I concur.

@@MarmiteMangoMachine I was talking about mixing faded black clothing with new black clothing...I wasn't being racist.

?? I’m so confused 🤔

They’re made of glass, they can go on your feet when seated but if weight is applied they burst 💫💫

@@BlissFoster gnarly!!

I did not know that. Wow, thank you for the correction 💫💫

What in the eugenics

I mean Southern Europeans fit black… I don’t think it’s a white person thing

@@emismith4655 Yes I agree, the cool toned ones.

I use black as a basis. If it doesn’t look good in black, it doesn’t look good in any other color. Unfortunately, this does mean I have to have the black version first. 😆

And black is not even a color. It’s a shade

It's also a terrible thing to wear as a pedestrian in my neighborhood, and yet!

no way this wasn't written by ChatGPT

"Black can also be edgy and rebellious" Except everyone wears all black here in the Netherlands, with sneakers. So not edgy and rebellious at all. It's become a uniform of conformity.
