6 Everyday Things That Happen to Girls Who Wear All Black

Girls who wear all black know how to wear their sass on their sleeve without screaming for attention. They are modern and classic, timeless but contemporary all at once. They are unstoppable because they choose to be. 

It’s not just a trend for them. It’s a lifestyle.

1. People always mistakenly assume they’re morbid, gothic or depressed.

Other people ask girls who wear black “are you alright? Are you depressed? Are you headed to a funeral?” 

These people just don’t get it, and who’s to say–they probably never will.

2. Spills don’t slow them down.

They can get through a power lunch even if their spaghetti gets on their dress. Come hell or high water, once the girl who wears black is out her front door, she doesn’t have to worry about how she looks. She’s “set” for the day. 

Maybe that’s why girls who wear black don’t freak out over little setbacks–they have more important things to worry about.

3. They never fear getting ready on a whim.

They don’t mind getting invited to things at the last second, nor do they have to show up fashionably late if it happens. 

They pull their little black dress out of the closet and wear it like a weapon. In a minute flat.

4. Mornings are made simple.

There’s less time expended on testing if unusual patterns or colors work together. While the average person might have to try things on before knowing if it works, the girl who wears black has the token for efficiency.  The process is quick, streamlined, decisive. 

The girl who wears black doesn't have to overthink her outfit to make it work.

5. But then again, she has so many black items in her closet that it can take forever to find the one thing she’s actually looking for. 

In a sea of black dresses and shirts, it’s hard for girls who wear black to find what they're looking for. It’s a trade-off.

6. People pester girls who wear black about how they're going to get bored with it.

Girls who wear black don't get bored. They live by Neiman Marcus’s idea that "women who wear black lead colorful lives." They may never say never. 

But there will never ever be another “new black.”
