Is Black The New Black?
Is black the new black? It’s fairly obvious that one of the most popular colors in fashion, style, culture and just about anything else one would care to mention these days — including the high-speed, low drag sports cars many young guys are driving around in — is still black. It never seems to go out of style and there are certainly a good many reasons for why.
But that’s probably not the biggest reason why men of any age love the color. No, it’s probably more true that they love it because it works exceedingly well at hiding a lot of dirt. Who wouldn’t love something black in color — at least if it’s a guy — that not only can make something look good but keep people from seeing how truly and hideously dirty it is. Even a simple black helmet for motorcycle riding never has to be cleaned when it’s in black.
Truthfully, hiding dirt as well as one can is probably one of the big priorities and most of the young guy’s life, because what young guy wants to spend 30 minutes washing a pair of dirty jeans that are black in color when they can probably be worn for at least five or six more weeks, at which point they’ll probably march themselves to the washer just to relieve themselves of the stench.
For the rest of us guys, picking up a nice black sport watch is more a matter of looking through the Sunday newspaper for a good deal on a wristwatch or going online to the discount store website to see if any of those eight dollar watches are still available. Considering that one of those watches is at least as accurate and far more durable than a $3000 Swiss watch, who is actually the smarter person questioned the guy or the snooty style maven?
There’s really no secret to the color black, however, though whoever the guy was that created it should be celebrated forever and ever and toasted by men all over the world, who don’t have to worry about that pesky ketchup stain on their lap. With black, the problem of getting off that ketchup with a wet cloth never is really a problem. Now; talk to a man about having to do that in a pair of stylish khakis and there would be a different response.
So then; is there really anything to complain about when it comes to the color black? Other than that somebody who wears it from head to toe, day in and day out might be mistaken for some minion of the evil dark Lord Slaggathor or something, there really doesn’t seem to be much else that could be said in a negative manner about black, even when a men’s sport watch is covered in it. For a fact, though; women probably won’t be running around in black wedding dresses anytime soon, it seems.
Indeed, most men lovingly consider black to be the single greatest achievement created by men since the television remote control. This is especially so when the guy seizes up in fright at the thought of having to wash his favorite black jeans, even though they’ve only been worn for 25 or 26 times straight. Those jeans have helped to take 20 pounds off of his frame, which allows him to keep eating those deep-fried doughnuts and drinking those big court-sized sodas, and that’s a beautiful thing.
