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.
Price was an important consideration, as was quality. Even the least expensive protective helmets have to pass minimum safety codes, but there were still a lot of other things to consider. Getting the best quality for the lowest price takes some time and careful comparison shopping.
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 were really attracted to the black helmet, but maybe spent hours before making your decision. Black is the color of Darth Vader, you thought. Black is the color Goths choose. Black doesn’t suit your personality, but that helmet looks so cool! What to do?
No worries! That black one is not going to make people think you’re a Goth or a Star Wars geek. Just avoid wearing all black and you will be okay. If you have a white or colored ski parka and pants, they will stand out more than your helmet. You can safely wear black boots with your helmet, too. Just don’t wear all black.
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.
