It was an entertaining read, and with so many wonderful inspirations in white. Truly, I think wearing white does take more bravery than black, and is more challenging to coordinate. I've been wanting to put together an all-white club outfit (now that I finally have a white corset) but another problem is that it's almost more difficult to get whites to match than to get blacks to match! At least with black, the color shifts are not too noticeable.VictorianKitty (Sophistique Noir)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05249293125462602094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492381592705349921.post-28884793837536345512014-10-02T23:29:09.819+01:002014-10-02T23:29:09.819+01:00White is a powerful color, as powerful as the blac...White is a powerful color, as powerful as the black color. <br />I'm not use white, because I think "so happy" for my taste.

It reminded me that when I was a teen (I'm 40 now) there was a goth magazine that had a spread of some male goths in white. I hate that I've even thrown away any of these magazines... sigh. I wish I could even recall the magazine. Those boys were terribly handsome in white.

Black strangely does provide anonymity though, I agree!<br /><br />I think it's primarily the wedding/religious connotations of it; being such a bright colour it also really catches the eye. Furthermore, an all white outfit is not going to stay all white, so there's an element of luxury in wearing it.

It's funny, but it's so easy to hide in black clothes, in the colour of individualism and alternative. Then you take the opposite colour thinking it's more 'socially acceptable', but suddenly it occurs to you that NOOO. I wonder why white is so powerful and sort of taboo to be worn casually in culture of the West... interesting, I might do some research about it.Rahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08973135277948728309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492381592705349921.post-68616268324656077782014-10-01T14:44:33.395+01:002014-10-01T14:44:33.395+01:00I absolutely agree with you ... black hides the st...I absolutely agree with you ... black hides the stains better.
