The Daily Mail ran a story recently asserting that not everyone looks good in black — and some people actually look like they’re coming off a bender when wearing it (namely those with really orangey tans, a la Lindsay Lohan.)

Those suited to the non-color, claim experts in the article, are ladies with cool (bluish) undertones to their skin, like Anne Hathaway and Zooey Deschanel.

Regardless of skin tone, I think everyone feels safe and skinny in black. And even if it’s not skin-brightening for all, it’s far more universally fetching than, say, electric blue or persimmon. Would you agree?
