I am not a freak or goth but i love wearing black, i also have black hair so i some people do think i am a freak, lol does anybody else love wearing black? And do some people think you are a freak? I just like black because it looks so slimming and my skin is quite pale so i think it looks nice on me and black is so compatible with everything.
what are your opinions on this?

yes, black is great to wear. i also have black hair and it goes with black dresses! lots of asians dress in black office suits. not freaky at all! in fact it makes the whole look great!
not only goths wear black. just look at the oscars. or even more reecntly the cannes festival. some gorgeous star came in a long black dress. it's especially good for those who are slightly plump. for those who are already slim, a bit of colour (like accessories) will brighten up the whole look.

it is true that for most asians, black office suits are the most popular. while i was still working in an office, we always had black blazers to go with the uniform and black skirts, too. the blouse can come in other compatible colors to include white and green but, it is black which is the most prevalent or dominant color of the entire get up. asians in general have black hair (only the oldies have it some other color, hehehe) and, this could be the most influencing factor here.

I like black and red. I wear black most of the time. black is the combination of any colors. I'm a goth but not 100%.

Nothing wrong with being a freak ;) I often dress in black (I'm pale too, so it looks nice on me too) and I have to say that I used to get more weird stares 5 years ago. Nowadays no-one cares anymore and I think I'm being regarded as normal now, so strange. I'd love to have black hair myself and I have a friend who has dyed her hair black for at least the last 3 years. So there's definitely people out there who try their hardest to get black hair!

I dolike to wear it sometimes, but not too much then I start to look depressed or something, and I don't wear a lot of it in the summer since it attracts heat.

Other than a few black suits and my tux I don't wear the color that much.

i have always loved black, white and brown when it comes to clothes. it is so easy to match them with other colors. another advantage is these colors seem to fit almost any place and any occasion. i do not see anything wrong with people who loves to wear black clothing. it becomes weird only when it is in the deep of the night that we will be wearing it clad in all black because, it makes us virtually invisible and can expose us to some danger. besides, we hardly do wear all black clothing. as you have pointed out, black can be easily compatible with everyting.

I love to wear black. Up until about 3 years ago, I didn't own a single bright colored top.
I never ceases to amazing me how much more slimmer it makes me look. My hair isn't exactly black but it is very dark brown and since I am half Native American I have a natural tan so black doesn't have much of a contrast on me and people don't think I am a freak.

I like black, but typically don't wear all black. Usually just a black shirt or pants but not both together, that's too dark for me. I don't think people that wear all black are freaks though :)
I think to each their own!!!!

I like wearing black too. Most of my clotheline, accessories are usually more on black. I think it's like a basic color in our closet. I do not wear black all the time but mostly. I agree with you that we look slimmer. And it is very easy to pair with. I know a family who does not wear black because they fear wearing it. It a lonely color and associates it with negative vibes ,they said. Me, it does not matter as long as I look good on it.

here in the philippines, almost all of us have black hair since birth so black hair doesn't really amaze us anymore.
i do love black but only for accessories like bracelets, watches and others. i don't usually wear black shirts coz im already slim and would look thinner in it. and oh, i also love black for other things like for the color of a car, bag, cellphone, camera. black for me represents eliteness and sophistication.

Gee...you make it sound like being called a freak is a bad thing.
I personally take it as a compliment because it means I'm not a pathetic little sheep following pop-fashion trends...
Anyway, yes black a staple in my closet...
Although I also wear blue, green, pink, grey, red, purple, white...

I think I am the freak because I DON'T like wearing black. I wear black pants, but I hate wearing black tops. If I wear a black blazer I better have a colourful shirt underneath it. I know black is slimming, but I find it makes me look washed out. And I just don't like the colour. Navy blue is just as slimming as black really.
I think I'm the only one I know that won't wear black.

I'm a goth so I only ever wear black clothes or occasionally purple. I wear black because it suits me, it is a slimming colour and can be worn anywhere. I don't consider myself to be a freak, different maybe but not a freak.

I love wearing black. When I was a teenager my mom got really mad cause all I would wear was black, dark blue, and dark green.
I still wear a lot of black not as much as before though. Nobody thinks I'm a freakor anything like that cause its not the only color I wear.

Well, I'm asian and I have black hair, and I LOVE wearing black, but nobody ever thought I was a freak.
I agree, like black because it really looks slimming on me. It covers up the bulges on my stomach. LOL.
Once, I wore all black, going to work. I thought it was too much, but my officemates complimented me, told me I looked sexy and mysterious.
That's why I always make sure I have black on my wardrobe.

I like wearing black. All my clothes are black (except my pink shirt and I might have a couple of socks that aren't black). I don't know why, but I just love black color. Still I don't think that people thinks that I am freak, well they might thing that, but it is not because I wear black.
