Psychology says people who always wear black often have these surprising personality traits

You know the person. Maybe it's a coworker, a sibling, a friend from college. Their closet looks like a funeral home threw a yard sale, black tees, black jeans, black jackets, black everything. While the rest of the world is out here trying pastel linen or "coastal grandma" beige, they open the wardrobe every morning and grab the one color that never lets them down.

It's easy to write this off as "just their style." And sure, sometimes it is that simple. But dig a little into the psychology of color and clothing, and it turns out the all-black habit tends to line up with a fairly specific, and honestly kind of flattering, set of personality traits.
