Does anyone else choose to wear black?

When we were in our 20s (the body is 51 now), we were a stage manager with a theater group for several years. We wore a lot of black then out of necessity.

Now a significant portion of our leisure wardrobe is t-shirts, many of which are baseball-related. We have to dress more businesslike at work, though. Our work attire is what we'd call "nondescript business casual." It's based on mostly dark pants and neutral, primary, or secondary colors.

A number of us detest pastels because we see soft colors as a sign of vulnerability, although there are occasional pastel items in our wardrobe. We'd consider it wasteful to discard an item that's in good condition. Makes little sense, but it's true.
