What is this obsession with wearing black in European cities?

I'm off to a different place for a change this Easter, (usually Paris or Nornandy ), and yet again, looking at current pictures, it's a uniform of black trousers, black sweatshirts and black jackets. Don't they realise once the sun comes out it's time to add a bit of colour?

This isn't just an older generation, it's all the younger people. And there was I thinking Boden items would look nice. So time for a rethink methinks.

Lovely sunny day here in Durham. I’m in black M&S trousers, black socks and shoes, a long sleeved black v-necked TShirt and sun glasses. My cross body bag is pink, as are my nails.
I just like black, navy and charcoal grey irrespective of the season or weather.

Black absorbs heat, white reflects it apparently.

Maybe the Mediterraneans like being hot! šŸ„µšŸ˜‚
