Tell him some people are crazy and may accuse him of the latter.
Try to find out the appeal. Is it the aesthetic or is it that he perceives people wearing it as cool? Then play it by ear.
Full disclosure: I would be a little upset if my kid wanted to wear black fashion just because it’s not quite my cup of tea, but if he still wanted to wear it after the above I would let him.
Disclaimer: I am not racist, I just want to steer clear of any possible accusations plus it’s a matter of personal taste.

Yes, saying you don’t like the fashion of an entire race of people as if it’s a monolith is racist. All black people don’t wear the same thing.

I think you should educate yourself on what black fashion actually is… then MAYBE you will understand that yes, not all black people wear it… jeez

What’s black fashion then? Please, educate me.

I am sure Google is a much better teacher for you. Plus posters above mentioned some brands.
You will then see that accusing me is as ridiculous as if I said I didn’t like, I don’t know, black purses please stop seeing racism everywhere

Google didn’t turn up anything when I googled black fashion. Just pictures of black people wearing clothes. Care to guide me to whatever you’re talking about?

You are right, it doesn’t show what I was talking about.
I would prefer not to describe it for the fear of saying something wrong; let me just assure you that you are correct and not all black people wear it.

You could just admit that saying that you don’t like black fashion is racist and that you will try to do better in the future.

If you’re so confident that whatever you’re thinking of is true Black Fashion™️ there should be no worries telling us what you’re talking about.

It’s almost like you’re worried the caricature that you call to mind when you think of “black fashion” may be…racist.

I think you mean Urban fashion. And it’s popular amongst all races from the US to East Asia.
