The way we react when we see certain colors can show different aspects of our personality.

A survey was conducted that included about 1,000 men and women. It concluded that people who wear black are often seen as reliable and serious. The study was done to show how the colors we wear can influence the people who we interact with.

Researchers have stated that when you are trying to reassure, impress, or woo someone, black is the color you should choose to wear. Throughout surveys on the subject, black came out on top for traits such as sexiness, intelligence, and confidence.

Both sexes tend to find the color black beautiful, as it is an indication of seriousness, sexiness, and reliability. 

But why do people see black in this way? The answer is confidence. Around half of all women surveyed and 64% of the men said that wearing black emits self-sufficiency traits. Most believe that the color is beautiful and confident.

But that doesn’t mean that every person who often chooses a black wardrobe exhibits these traits. While they may be confident in the color, they often have a vulnerable side that others may not see.

People who choose to wear all black clothing are typically very sensitive and sometimes a bit unstable. They are trying to draw attention to themselves as a person. They do not want to be noticed just for what they are wearing.

These types of people often overreact and become easily distracted. They may fight to keep anxiety at bay and are constantly fighting against the strong emotions they often feel.

However, it is interesting to note that people who do love to wear black do not care what others wear. Actual colors are not upsetting or unpleasant to them. It’s when they put these colors on that they perceive themselves differently. The color they choose to wear is what represents their identity.

Some theories state that those who love black are trying to reclaim their power. They do this by attempting to “shield” their emotions from others or are trying to demand respect by wearing a solid, non-nonsense color. Wearing black is a subconscious effort to reclaim their power when they feel as though they are being taken advantage of.

To sum it all up, people who wear black do tend to believe that they are important. Many people believe that black makes you more intelligent and attractive. They wear it because they feel more confident in life with it on. They are determined, yet sensitive.

Let’s take a look at the five common personality traits we see in people who love to wear the color black:

• They are very confident people
• They are often very sensitive
• They enjoy feeling influential and powerful
• Many will not accept authority and have a very rebellious nature
• They build walls around themselves and don’t like to get too close to people

Many teenagers have an almost psychological need to dress in black clothes as they make the transition from being a child to an adult. This is because this time period marks an ending and beginning phase in their life. They wear black as a shield from the world as they figure out their true individuality and identity. For many, this is an important stage of life that one should let run its course. However, there could be problems later on if they continue to exclude all of the other colors they have open to them.

It is important to remember that wearing black all of the time can actually cause mood swings or lead to depression. Yes, there are very powerful and positive qualities that are represented by the color black, but it could also create a very negative environment after an extended period of time. The best way to wear black is to use color to accent it. Find a scarf, jewelry, hat, tie, or other accessories that are full of color to offset the black.
