Black Steel
Is Wearing Black On The Ski Slopes Cool Or Tacky?
Congratulations! You have finally made the decision to buy a ski helmet. It is always a good idea to protect your head. You need your brain for so many things! Buying your helmet probably was not an easy task. There were a lot of things to consider.
You probably gave some thought to price and quality. Though even the cheapest protective headgear must pass certain standards tests, there is still a big difference in prices and features. The practical side of you wanted to get the best quality for the best price.
You probably spent even more time agonizing over the look of your helmet than you did over its effectiveness. The aerodynamic features were only one of your considerations. In fact, the wind sheer factor probably took a distant second place to the cool look of an aerodynamically designed helmet.
Then there was the color. You knew perfectly well that the color was not going to have anything to do with how well it worked, but that did not stop you from spending as much time or more making a color decision as you had spent on your other decisions.
You probably imagined a lot of reactions that the color of your helmet would evoke. Red might look too flashy, gun metal grey wouldn’t look flashy enough. Then you wondered if it was going to clash with the rest of your ski outfit. You probably even wondered whether or not it was going to match that black sport watch you always wear.
You really like the look of one black helmet in particular, but hesitated to buy it because of its color. Black reminds you of Darth Vader and the Gothic look and neither of those looks really appeal to you. Nonetheless, that helmet was awesome looking. Would you take a chance and buy it?
If you like the black one, but do not identify with the gothic look, do not worry! As long as you do not wear all black, you’ll be alright. Choose a white or colored parka and white or colored ski pants and they will be more predominant than your headgear. You can have boots that match the color of your headgear, but everything else in between should be another color.
Black can be very cool if you use it right. The mistake people make is when they choose a favorite color and wear it exclusively. That is almost always a tacky looking choice for the slopes or anyplace else. Sometimes all white can look really good, but even that should be avoided on the snow unless you are employed as a Ninja assassin! If you get lost and they send out a search party, they will have a very hard time spotting you if you wear all white. For the sake of safety, choose a color that contrasts with the snow.
