These parent haters are who wear black and why you might think twice about it.

I feel that the best color tie to wear with a black shirt is a black one hence you will be wearing all black.

I would maybe wear something like this to a funeral.

What do you think about wearing all black, what does it say?


If you want to wear all black, you might be better off wearing brutal death metal band t-shirts. Then again these guys often have more style sense than to wear all black. Sometimes they wear BDU camouflage pants.

My question is, does Manton look at these thread and just walk away, realizing he can't possibly successfully contribute, or does he just not look in the first place?

Manton is already thinking beyond that. All-charcoal anyone?

YES - I had no idea there were so many MLIW fans up in here. I'm rocking Witness right now. And now, back to pictures of MLIW:

It's comedian/actor Richard Belzer's signature look on Law and Order. I believe Carl Goldberg (CEGO) makes some of his black shirts.

It worked for Johnny Cash, but I'm not sure it would work for most people.

Carl/Shirtmaven: if you are reading this, can you please stop making this fellow black shirts. Tell him he has made it in showbiz and no longer needs to work as a waiter to pay the bills.

Man in Black - Johnny Cash Well, you wonder why I always dress in black, Why you never see bright colors on my back, And why does my appearance seem to have a somber tone. Well, there's a reason for the things that I have on. I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down, Livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of town, I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime, But is there because he's a victim of the times. I wear the black for those who never read, Or listened to the words that Jesus said, About the road to happiness through love and charity, Why, you'd think He's talking straight to you and me. Well, we're doin' mighty fine, I do suppose, In our streak of lightnin' cars and fancy clothes, But just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back, Up front there ought 'a be a Man In Black. I wear it for the sick and lonely old, For the reckless ones whose bad trip left them cold, I wear the black in mournin' for the lives that could have been, Each week we lose a hundred fine young men. And, I wear it for the thousands who have died, Believen' that the Lord was on their side, I wear it for another hundred thousand who have died, Believen' that we all were on their side. Well, there's things that never will be right I know, And things need changin' everywhere you go, But 'til we start to make a move to make a few things right, You'll never see me wear a suit of white. Ah, I'd love to wear a rainbow every day, And tell the world that everything's OK, But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back, 'Till things are brighter, I'm the Man In Black. crbt2('Johnny Cash','Man In Black')

All black avant-garde outfit: yes please
all black suit, shirt, tie: usually a fail
all black at a funeral: yuck (better than track pants though)
