White wardrobe items have been my thing for a very long time, and across many shades of white. I don’t mind a bit of black in a pattern, but prefer to keep it to a minimum. I am now at the point where I do not have a single solid black clothing item, and want to keep it that way.
Slowly but surely, and over the course of many years, I phased out black and replaced it in my wardrobe with dark blue, which I prefer as a dark neutral for my style. I also wore black and white patterns, and was happy to have either black or white as the background to a colourful pattern. Ten years ago, I was on the bench because I wore both solid black and shades of white. You can still pick a side if you don’t wear black or shades of white - just choose the option that most tickles your fancy. Note that white includes all shades of white like bone, off-white, ivory and cream. You are on Team White Neutrals if you prefer to wear solid white, and/or white in patterns. You are on Team Black Neutrals if you prefer to wear solid black and/or black in patterns. I’m taking the poll again to see if things have changed. Ten years ago, it was a landslide victory with almost everyone batting for Team Black Neutrals.
