- it looks easy in the books, so elegant, so sophisticated and avantgarde. but how come whenever you try a to wear a full black look it doesn't work out? It's dull and lame.

I look amazing in all black, feeling very attacked by the title.
it’s just a phrase, I’m sure you do 💘
@@tubaavalon I was joking/being sarcastic when I said this, to clarify. You could never do anything wrong ever. 😇♥️
me toooooo 😢
"nonexistent colour combination stress" matching shades of black is actually the most stressful experience imaginable
Could not agree more!!
Feel the same about matching textures! The lack of colour seems to make every flaw more apparent
My British colleague (60+) always wore black head to toe, very stylish. Suddenly last winter she switched to cream, what a transformation! She looked much younger and so many people congratulated her that she was actually rather upset. Was she looking so bad in black? The truth is that black suits people who have a golden suntan or porcelain skin, but in winter we have sallow or ashy complexions and black accentuates that.
Thank you so much for the video! I like how Yohji Yamamoto once answered the question why he decided to work with black. He actually said that he chose to work with black because there are so many visual triggers currently which surround us, and he would not like it if his clothes disturbed our eyes even more with busy prints and bright colours. I can very much relate to this thought, and also I love how he shows this kind of care for people's sensory nervous system😂❤
I love that, visual overstimulation is a big reason why I mostly wear black and grey these days.
Black is beautiful when the material is luxurious. The problem is with cheap fabrics where the black veers towards grey, purple, brown…dirty colours.
Brown and black can look so chic together though. Depends on the fabric/shade.
Exactly, like those cheap mass market polyester things, they just look so sad
Sometimes, high end garments are dyed with natural dyes, black can be dark brown
Cheaper fabrics never have.. and black pants/trousers usually always fade after a lot of wear, even then best fabrics designed never to fade
I’ve been wearing all black for about a year and love the freedom, mystery, and protection I feel with all black. It feels like a blank slate, an anonymous mask, an expression of grief and love. 🖤 it also looks sickening imo lol, esp with a lovely drape or a curious mix of shapes & textures.
I think this applies to monochromatic dressing generally. Not everyone looks good in black because of colour analysis, so I think that these rules can be applied to one of the darker tones suggested for each colour season/subseason.
yeah no amount of rules could make me look as good in black as I do in dark cold grey for example. that’s my “black”.
Agreed. This and or dressing within a very narrow scope of tones , forces your eye to objectively look at silhouette and texture.
Yes! I agree totally. Another problem is that even though black is supposedly one colour, there’s a lot of variation within “black.” And if the shades of black don’t work together, it can look a bit “off”-to me at least. But it’s not an issue with going monochrome with other dark colors colors like gray or navy. (Maybe it’s just that I can’t style “black”😊)
I can see myself coming back to this video for inspiration every so often when I feel like something’s not working with a black piece of clothing. You have created a timeless reference
I used versions of black rather than pure black: specifically extremely dark versions of taupe and slate. The idea being that you would use the contrasts between warm and colder shades of dark grey to create a balanced type of personal style. Something like Coffee is used to highlight taupe, while a cooler light grey is used to highlight slate grey. The challenge being to find colors that can exist in natural pigments, rather than produced synthetically.
I had been somewhat influenced by Sisters Of Mercy, The Cure, and The Banshees at some point. But that isn't specifically why I get for dark taupe and slate though.
I am excited by color but my hands always reach for black. For me one of the most beautiful colors in clothing is faded black. Faded black denim , linen , leather etc. I will acquire certain articles of clothing anticipating their eventual softening and fading. Conversely I am reminded of my aunt who was a hair stylist her whole career, she would periodically re-dye her black clothes in the washer by dumping a few bottles of black Rit dye in.
I am the opposite. Faded black clothes always go into the recycling clothes bin.
Wearing and admiring black in different textures for over 10 years just cz nothing else gives me this sense of comfort. And, as weird as it sounds, once I caught myself starring at a person’s trousers in such a perfect black color, deep matte blackest black, it was so beautiful! 8 years ago and I still remember to this day (and hope they didn’t notice as they were busy with smth)
I love black but I also love color bc black can be depressing esp in the winter.
Thanks for the fashion history at the beginning!
I don't wear as much black as I used to but you can never go wrong with a full on black fit. I like to pair with a coloured bag or even shoes to create contrast and break the fit up a bit.
I want the black coat the lead singer of pet shop boys is wearing in the video for West Ende Girls
Im having a huge obsession with creating my own capsule wardrobe of black clothing but only the silhouette and textures speaks. very Dior homme 01 inspired with a mix margiela
To me, black is the hardest colour to wear because for it to be a good outfit, you really need good texture or shape, and to be honest, most fashion available to the public doesnt really have that 🤷♂🤷♀
(this of course only applies if people are trying to look good in their outfit, I realise thats not the goal for everyone
Color is for everyone but me. My heart is black and I wear it on my sleeve ( literally)
Super intéressant la partie historique, merci pour le travail
Wow, girl, your videos are amazing . One can learn so much from you. Thank you for creating such a work of art 🙏❤️ being blond, I always loved all black. It’s great contrast and mystery , but as you age, wearing all black, makes you look more tired🤪😂 it’s ok, like in summer outfits, there is some skin showing, and some tan and glowing skin, balances. But if covered from the neck to the feet in all black, it’s not so great anymore
I found the most beautiful structural black top on depop and the seller took down the post, a month later i’m still mourning that top we almost had an amazing relationship
great topic.
I'm light blond and black makes my skin look really dull unless I put a tone of make-up ... sadly...
That’s interesting, I would have thought it creates an interesting contrast, but it might really depend on what you like at the end 😊
@@tubaavalon Skin undertone has a lot to do with what colours look good on you including black which can lean cool and therefore clash with warm skin tones. Blondes and strawberry blondes can be warm toned.
Maybe that's just what you need to complete the look 👍👍😅 the dull skin.. not the makeup
Great video. I’m going to start thinking deeply about my usage of black.
Great analysis of the colour black Tuba. You have brought up a lot of ideas I hadn't considered before, especially regarding fabric choice when wearing black.
tubaaaaa… you know I’m always team black. But slowly trying colours… 💓❤️🥂
Love the reference to Noir Keininomiya but his last collection is actually quite colorful although in a seemingly paradoxically monochromatic way !!
I wear cotton or linen minimal dress with with tons of colorful accessories!
I am such a wear black person. Thank for this inspirational video. Love and regards from Saudi Arabia.
I wear black and ivory mostly. I feel weird wearing colors! Thinking about branching out into deep coffee… 😂
I was wearing black only for the most part of my adult life (for 80a goth post punk reasons and personal preference) and now 15 years later at 36 I'm trying a few other colors and it's still hard for me. But I live in Berlin now and people assume I wear black for this generic Berlin coolness reasons 😢
Black looks so bad on me. I’ve always been so bummed about it. My face/hair is so low contrast visually, I get swallowed up by the starkness of black. 😢
Love the fashion history! Can you share the article you mentioned about Coco Chanel?
Black is my uniform. I pay attention to the silhouette first and foremost. Then fabrication. Then shade of black. Matching black in various fabrications is extremely difficult lol
It’s all about the lines and silhouettes. Black can say a lot int it’s absence and also be an open interpretation wich opens a bigger discussion to the art. Color can be very distracting from what actually matters fabric, lines, silhouette.
That’s true, it’s like a skeleton of form and cuts, where everything stays pure. It’s a colour of romance and melancholy covering you into invisibility.
@@tubaavalon when you speak of form what does that word mean entirely bc I’ve heard hedi slimane say that is what he focuses on when makes a collection and when you look at his clothes it’s so beautiful. Yes I get the proportions etc are all part of it but I feel there’s more to it then that. I call it attitude bc even though all his models are skinny they don’t look the same and still each model matches their attitude
@@tubaavalon could you do a video Ann demelemeester
Great video !! Learn to wear your black garnments
Do so! 🖤
watchin this wearing all black
I love looking like a raven 😎
So basically the most elegant people are ninjas
Not ninja turtles. Too much green.
Thankfully, you always look stunning in black Tuba! 😂💯
Black is not a color or a fashion. It is how you feel. 😢😢😢.
I used to look great in all black before my hair went grey!
I already know why. It washes out my delicate features. I am something like a soft spring. Unfortunately, when it comes to crafting a look, we must consider more than just the aesthetics we prefer.
So appreciate the historical references. Diito your irony/sardonic wit. Not always literal, which I think is clear… other times quite literal. I like that you have at times very emphatic opinions - while remaining entirely welcoming and open to others doing their own thing. As I type , the video is still playing, and you just stated: “You get to decide.”…. NB there isn’t any “black” in natural fibers (or any?) is there? Isn’t it all degrees of navy…, the super--darkest injection of indigo into wool resulting in what tailors at Loro Piana call “black.” Is that a crazy story I was told to steer me to costlier fabric? … I don’t think so.
I only wear black t shirts
so interesting cause i think (def need to research more) that wearing all black is unique to western countries
Tuba is so cool 🫣❤
Supreme and Comme des Garcons have indeed already collaborated lol
lol i've been wearing all black for 7(?) years... very targeted @ ME! thank you 🖤
I'm just trying my best man. I've been wearing all black for about 5 years consistently and love it. I get pieces I like fairly often, but I still wish I dressed better because I can't afford some of my favorite shit yet :/
Just want to point out that Coco didn’t invent the small black dress. She just popularised it. 😊
I'm a crow, and I approve this video.
I sometimes like black on other people. But on myself? I feel so depressed and drained!!!!! Tried it, can’t do it.
I feel quite aesthetically lazy when I wear all black, I feel like I need to step up the textures, proportions and silhouette to avoid looking like every other “avant guard by numbers” citizen out there. So for me it’s actually more labour intensive 😵💫🤣
In Islam it’s obligation to buy for your servant that you buy for yourself. Nice video as usual. Wonderful channel
Wait HEYYYYY
The grrrrrrrtttt shoutout was ❤
Kanye west is my style idol 😂😂
I would appreciate a bit of an intercultural approach on black color clothing. Seems to me a very westernized point of view here.
wearing black/all black is rather a notlösung for me. i also cringe when i see all black evurrything outfits
I never see anyone look bad in black...sorry
black = saturn
I need an explanation
What do you mean?
@@tubaavalon Quick summary: Black also symbolizes Saturn. Saturn is the opposite of Sun. Saturn or satan(black=dark=death) - Sun or Sun of God(light=white=light spectrum=life). Saturn has a hexagram at the north pole. Priests wear black robe (Saturn rules the religion and the law) the judges wear black robes. The cross unfolds into a cube. Black cube of Mecca. Jews have the hexagram, they wear black and also a black cube on the forehead. When you graduate, you wear a black robe with the square hat. Saturn is also the grim ripper or chronos or lord of the rings. All is related.
Most asian looks pretty good in all black, they look attractive
*THE PROBLEM IS THERE IS NOT SUCH THING AS BLACK* Its dark blue or dark grey or dark green and anyone who knows fashion or fabric can immediately tell you are wearing 2 shades of dark grey and a dark blue. Which is fine for the person in the street, but if you want to make a fashion statement all you are saying is "Actually I dont know what I'm doing"
Its also the easy default go-to for the edgy look. I refuse to even work with black its both massively problematic and overly simplistic simultaneously. It's not easy, its a nightmare.
What you said is absolutely ridiculous!
@@rockyhrndz - OH right - well I'm a Bespoke tailor of men's historical suits 1890 - 1940 so you would THINK I know what I'm talking about when it comes to the use of black, but you clearly know more...
mixing blacks is good for making an outfit more casual. almost black colors dress down your pure black pieces. it’s like mixing metal.
I know what you mean, as a former painter rich and "colourful" black is made my mixing burnt sienna and ultramarine blue with more blue making it cool and more sienna making it warm but I have seen rich dense neutral blacks on fabrics like mohair and felt wool and they do actually appear black.
I love black,but black doesn't do anything for me anymore, I'm 71 and my hair is changed to dark brown ,is anyone have ideas of how to make it work??
Personally, I have had to switch to grey and taupe... And even blue! But I don't dye my hair, so...
❤
Dont be sorry to talk about fabric
Make a full vidéo about it please 💖❤️😻🫂
you look bad in that black shirt
15 Minuten and ai am still waiting to hear anything about the actual topic of the video, getting desperate at this point from rambling 😢
☹️
We can see u despise your intro. Just change it. We don’t care
i kinda like that if you open a tuba video from years ago it would be the same intro, unless ofc tuba actually doesnt like the intro
