Does wearing all black make you feel depressed?

Question

Sometimes it makes me feel a little down

Answer 1

I wear mostly black and I feel great.I have red hair and am very pale and most colors make me feel TOO colorful.Like a Hawaiian shirt.

Answer 2

Wearing black doesn't make you feel depressed or anything. Maybe you are just feeling depressed but try wearing something lighter, maybe that would be your solution. Although I recommend for you to think about what had happened that made you feel depressed in the first place. And yeah your clothing or dressing style usually reflects your mood. So simply don't wear black.  

Answer 3

That depends completely on you. Some people find wearing bright colors makes them feel happier. In general though I would say no, there is direct correlation between wearing black and depression.  

Answer 4

Maybe it's because you associate bad emotions to wearing black. Perhaps it's your form of expression and thus it just so happens that every time you're wearing black, you're also feeling a little down. For example, perhaps you woke up one morning and it was just a bad night of sleep. You pick out your black outfit and then for the rest of that day, you realize you aren't as happy as you are typically. The fault doesn't lie within the color, sweetie. :) It's just self expression, probably.

However, if you relate depressing music to a down turn in mood, that would be a whole different story. The more negative music you listen to, the more negative you feel. This is, of course, under the assumption that you're listening to the music for the lyrics and not the melody though raucous melody can also have an effect.

Answer 5

Nope, your already depressed, your clothes reflect your mood not the other way around.  Tomorrow, go through your clothes and dont wear anything that even looks black or dark.  

Answer 6

Answer 7

Not at all, it defines my personality perfectly.  

Answer 8

I wear black almost every day (97% of my shirts are black.  It's not my fault black goes with everything), and it doesn't make me feel depressed.  It makes me look paler, but not depressed.  Well not anymore depressed than I already am :\

Answer 9

Sometimes I like to wear black on days when I feel too fat.

It does help me feel thinner.
