When did wearing black become the new holiday color?

JesssMe — Sun, 30 Oct 2016 02:01:44 GMT

I have noticed that some of the hosts seem to wear black every time they are on the air. Did I miss a memo that Black is the new holiday color? What happened to happy colors, to celebrate the season?

Well, since the upcoming holiday is Halloween, I'd say they're right on target!

Who says it's the "holiday color"??? Just because they are wearing black, which I don't find that to be true because they all wear different colors. I don't get where you are coming from.

i have A LOT of black in my wardrobe. i find it very chic, always appropriate, and it is the perfect basic canvas for your accessories.....jewelry, scarves, belts, shoes, handbags, hats, tights.....you can make a black outfit very festive if you choose to.

@makena I know exactly where the OP wants to go with this.

The host that is on right now, Shawn, wears black everytime she is on air. I have noticed it for at least the last month. Everytime, no exception.

I've seen other fashion hosts wear black. I think that's a good idea because it allows them to easily change into lots of tops, jackets, etc. during the show and still have a cohesive look.

It's simply not true. And if it was, I don't get the connection between "holiday color" and the fact (as you say) that Shawn is wearing black. No where did anyone state that.

You wear whatever makes you happy.

I think black is the best color. It is happy because it makes me feel happy when I wear it.

I totally understand what JesssMe is saying and I agree with her. For some unknown reason, some posters seem to be implying that she is knocking the color black but I don't read her post that way. I think JesssMe is making the point that it is usual during holiday shows for holiday colors to be predominant. The hosts will take every opportunity during their shows to push the colors red, green and orange as "holiday colors" because it suits their sales so, yes, it would be nice to see the hosts in something other than black, especially during holiday shows.

One more point. I see one poster is already being rather hostile - in more than one post - yet has only 3 Posts under her name. Perhaps she needs to calm down and help keep these boards as civil as we would all want them to be.

Oh I get it! This is a backhanded way of starting an anti Shawn thread!

Why do you get to choose what is a holiday color, or what others should wear ??

Black has always been a holiday color. And a dressy occasion color.

Black velvet has always been a holiday standard.

@Fona not sure how my number of posts relates to anything, but I can assure you I am very calm, not the least bit hostile, and yes I was very civil.

@JesssMe

Black is a festive, dressy color .... do you seriously NOT own at least one Little Black Dress for dressy occasions? Not only is it slimming, but it shows off our jewelry well, no matter what we choose to wear.

BTW ..... I think black is a happy color .... it sure makes me happy.
