The man in black

This blog does not usually dip its toes into the world of male fashion but The Guardian has some useful advice:

"I don't own a black shirt and I doubt I ever shall. The reasons being that, first off, wearing a black shirt makes you look like Johnny Cash. Actually, it's worse than that: it makes you look like you want to look like Johnny Cash. That's OK for a karaoke night, but in all other situations the likelihood is that you'll just seem like a ridiculous clone.
Another problem is that a black shirt, worn with a black jacket and trousers, offers no respite or contrast. Its very uniformity suggests a conviction - religious or rebellious - that few of us can back up. But the real drawback is this: dandruff.
Don't walk that line."

Now, if I'd only known this 30 years ago...
