I look skinnier. It is easy to dress up/down. It is easier to recycle without standing out. I can get away with wearing a black outfit multiple times. If I wear a bright coloured outfit it will be more easily remembered. I shop in NYC. People in NYC wear alot of dark colors. The store sells more clothes in dark colors and the cycle continues.
Besides what has already been mentioned black pants/slacks/trousers are good for sitting in public places without having to worry about getting stains or dirt showing when one stands up.
Wearing all black is cool.
Wearing all black is slenderizing.
Wearing all black hides the dirt and soot from the city.
As Shawn Colvin sang:
Back in our home New York
Walking these streets forlorn
We all in our uniforms
Black and black
