Would you Prefer Light or Dark Colors when it comes to Clothes ???

Favourite Shirt  - Those who suffer from Color blindness would consider this shirt to be Purple ... Infact it is Maroon

Kinda got used to sport dark colors --- One Color which strikes my mind whilst shopping is BLUE for sure! And the optional ones are maroon,green,brown! Stripes,Plain ones,Checks (shirts) ... I got them all! You get to see all shades of dark colored ones(majority of them) in my war drobe --- you would be amused with my big(small) collection of clothes! I seldom wear light colored shirts though except white --- most of my friends bug me up to wear light(which can be better considered as dull) colors. How about you then --- Are you comfortable wearing Light colors or Dark ones? Would you choose colors depending on the season ? I wouldn't wish to make this discussion a poll by asking your favourite colors Below is the pic of one of my favourite shirts with one of my Nike Cap's on my bed ... Damn to the Flash of my Mob camera ... the pic isn't that clear!

It depends on my mood that day if what I am going to wear.I have a fair complexion so any color will do to me.But when it come to matching when I use darker color skirts,pants and shorts in the top I usually use lighter colors,to make it balance.

Finding appropriate matches can be a daunting task sometimes ... i stumble upon some weird yet good looking colors but i struggle a lot to find some color which compliments it.Sporting Dark with Light is always IN.

Well I do like dark colors only.. I rarely have light colors in clothes. It must be coincident but i like blue in clothes too... :) I think i look more good in dark colors :) ha ha.. so mostly i do prefer to wear Dark. Well for me i think light colors gets dirty quickly in compare of dark colors.

Since I am thin, so I prefer to wear light color clothes rather than the dark ones. Because the dark color clothes will make me look thinner. And I don't like that. And I think I suit light color such as white clothes much more. I love China

Knew that over-sized clothes can make you look taller and slimmer ... whats up with wearing dark clothes --- how do they make you look smaller

I'm skinny as well. And I think it's more thr fit of thrshirt than then the color that makes you look buffer or smaller than you are. Yes, the color makes up for part of it, but if you're wearing a baggy shirt, you're going to look bigger.

I know what you mean, as I do wear a lot of black and I am so thin that at times I look like a twig.

First I love colors, all of them. But when wearing them I like blues and reds mixed with black. It's rarely that I will choose something light to wear.

I prefer light colored clothing in the spring and summer and dark color clothing in the fall and winter. I like dark blues, black and red in the winter and Fall. I like to wear white, light blue, orange, green and pinks in the summer and spring.

If it is one thing I have is way too many clothes, literally I had to turn a full bedroom into a closet - dates back to my wonderful modeling days. ahhh yes, I love me clothes. If I can't get food, I know where I can get free clothes though, but back to your question; I wear mostly dark. I have lightly tan skin so light colors do not do me justice. In fact black is my favorite. Your picture is clear but I can't see you in them, so tell your Mob camera it forgot to darken you. HA!

Yes for 15 years I did run way specifically for the Ronald McDonald Children's Charities. Although I no longer do it, I still get clothing perks. I must speak to your camera at once as it is not capturing the right features.

Both. I prefer light clothes for summer and dark for winter, although I do tend to mix things up in both seasons. I really like red, so I have quite a few T-Shirts that are. I used to have a really bright orange T-shirt when I was little that you would find hard to not see me in. I also have many dark T-Shirts, with things like X-Men and Zombies on.

I have very few light colored bras so I usually have to wear dark clothes so my bra doesnt show through my shirt. If I buy white bras they dont stay white so I always wind up throwing them away. I like to match my bras to the shirts I wear so if I have a pink shirt on I'd rather wear a pink bra then a white bra anyway. Right now I have on a teal t-shirt and a teal bra. I match well.

I don't really have a preference to my colors of clothing other than I have a lot of white tops and blouses but that's just because it's easier to match white with anything. But I do have a lot of other colors also. I just took a look in my closet just now so I could see what colors I have. I have 4 areas in my closet for hanging clothes, I have a nice big closet, and so I looked at the area with my tops and blouses hanging and I have a lot of clothes there. I have every color under the rainbow. I have different shades of colors also. I have several different shades of green tops and browns and reds and purples and shades of whites, beige and ivory and whites. Then I have an area of just pants and jeans and they aren't all different colors, which I have never thought about before this discussion. I only have blues and blacks and brown pants. I don't own a pair of white pants, hmmmm, I don't like white pants, but I do have white shorts and I like those. So I don't have a favourite color, I like all colors. And then it also depends on what it is I am doing as to what color I wear. The only time I really think about the colors of my clothes are when I am going to be outdoors all day, then I make sure I wear light color clothes because of the sun and the bugs. Cheers my friend, Chris

Hey sunny! How ya been dude? I happen to prefer dark colors too! I love black and blue! I don't care what anyone thinks! But, every now and then, especially in the summer I like pinks thrown in with my blacks and blues! But, come winter I add burgandy to the mix and other shades of blues and once in awhile brown!

Hi sunny, Infact i like all colours, since each and every colour will have their own beauty. But i choose mostly white combination with dark colours. Jeans and skirts i prefer dark colours and shirts and tops with light colours, my sarees and other dresses are mostly i will be selecting with dark colours, yellow (mango yellow), blue shades. But all of my husband's choice. Ofcourse it depends on the season too i will be wearing. Summer season light colours and winter season dark colours. Mostly cotton i prefer. Have a good day.

Hey, Sunny! What a nice discussion you have herr! If you look at my closet, it's pretty colorful. But I definitely have more black shirts and blue shirts. I have a good amount of purple and red shirts as well. Strange enough, I feel uncompdrrable in turtle neck shirts and long sleeve shirts, so it's rare to find one in my closet. I like to be comfortable and my clothes reflect that.

Hey girl --- you have been missing for quiet a while now Closets are meant to be colorful than to have dumb,dim colors which cannot change our moods ... Dark Colors are said to have a greater impact to boost one's confidence too.At the end of the day we only wear those clothes which we're confortable in

Depends on the season. Where I live, there's just rainy and sunny, the temperature being generally scorching except for the cool Siberian wind come October to December. In the chilly months I usually wear dark colors, it seems to do the job of keeping the chill off, while come summertime, dark colors would be counterproductive as you would find yourself breaking out a sweat in just a few minutes. Rainy days could be either light or dark, but depending on the temperature, there are some cases here wherein the rain would just force the hot air out of the heated pavement so it wouldn't really be nice to wear dark clothing then.

I wear light colors during summer, it's relaxing, and fresh. Mostly Dark color clothes I wear them during occasions, parties or any celebration. Special occasions at night.

I also prefer dark colors rather than light ones, except for white.^_^ I too LOVE blue!^_^ Im easily attracted to it as well. Most of my shirts would be in the color blue and the second color you'll find is white. I think I only have one violet shirt and three pink ones. Most of what I have are in blue, white, brown, and black. Friends and family have nothing against my color choices but they would definitely love to see me wear girly clothes or something like it.

My clothes varies in color. I wear clothes that makes me feel comfortable. There is actually an evolution of colors in my closet or should I say my clothes are arranged depending on my mood. When I was young I like lighter colored clothes. I'm always wearing white and when I reached teenage years I loved wearing blue colored clothes for it is my favorite color. Then after sometime I grew fond with dark colored clothes. In college my girlfriend told me she likes seeing me wear colorful clothes and that includes the color pink and so I wore colored clothes. I have a pink collard shirt and I'm proud I could wear one because for some men wearing pink colored clothes lessens their masculinity, I don't know why Now I wear only black and white clothes because that is how my mood is everyday. The simpler the better.

Dark or light colors for wearing clothes depends generally on the season, occasion and each person complexion. For example, some colors such as khaki does not suit my complexion. It makes me look pale. My favorite color is copper as my hair is about the same color. In summer I like to wear light colors for my clothes, especially white and yellow, in autumn and spring I like the colors of the season found in nature and in winter black and more darker colors.

Well, I don't like striking colors just like neon colors. I like light and not so dark colors because of my complexion. But I like purple even when I was younger.
