[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]pp here, and my kids didn't own any black clothes until they went to a funeral last year.  Primary reason is that it clashes with their shoes which tend to be navy or pastels.[/quote]

Ok, this makes sense as a reason, and so does lack of availability of black clothes in places/season's where that's true.  Though I had no problem buying black clothes for my kids when they were little or in elementary school.  It's a color that flatters their skin tone, so we gravitated toward it and never had to work to find it.

But why would it ever be considered inappropriate for a child to wear black tops or bottoms?  That's the part I'm still confused by.[/quote]

Why does that make sense? Who spends a lot of time matching their KIDS's clothes to shoes? They are kids! And navy shoes? Huh? Are they uniform shoes? And black goes with pretty much everything, especially if you are a KID.

Sorry. This is just overall a weird rule or hangup. It is not defensible outside of personal preference. Which is fine, personal preference is fine. But it is weird.[/quote]
