Why do girls wear bright colors when they are alone but wear dark colors when they go out?

[rachiee]

Dark colors are usually more slimming. I wear both when I go out so not all girls do this.

I wear both. I occasionally do the monochromatic theme, but I also pair bright pieces with darker pieces. Like today I wore dark jeans tucked into short black cowboy boots, a black long sleeved shirt with a kind of wide 'boat neck', with a bright pink and purple striped tank top over it [similar to this style, but with pockets tucked into the sides: link , link ]. Mostly dark, but definitely bright and noticeable. It's starting to cool down a lot where I live, so I'm able to start layering again.

I normally wear dark clothes all the time, though I have a few bright pieces. I've also never noticed this trend before, but a lot of clubbing clothes come in darker colors like black, navy, and red, so that might contribute.

I always know a black dress is going to look good. If I get called out on a moments notice, I know a black dress will be fine, and I can throw it on, do my makeup, and go.

I love bright colors, and would love bright colored dresses, but to be honest, there just aren't that many. Its about finding a bright dress that isn't TOO dressy, but isn't too casual. Also, I don't want to look like I'm going to homecoming.

It just so happens many of the cutest dresses come in black or navy.

good question, hermie :p

i think bright colors like hot pink tops/shorts are kind of silly. no one's going to take me seriously if I go out like that. at home, I'm more comfortable, I know no one's going to judge what I'm wearing, so I wear what I want.

hmm I honestly never noticed that. but its because when you are around people you want to look slimer then everyone and well black goes with anything also because I feel more pritty wearing black. and well I don't know about the bright colors because I barely have any lol

I love colors! But I do wear black sometimes too...I think to answer your question it's because the darker colors are more slimming and you know how self-conscious girls can be! =)

I wear bright colors all the time... oops?

Boys are weird. Yes. (:

I've never noticed this..I don't own very many bright colors actually, expect for a few shirts everything else is either light, pastel or neutral colors.

It's classier imo.

I wear bright colors almost always. I wear dark colors when I want to look skinny.
