as I do (but usually not above the low '80°F's black absorbs heat).
So I'll wear a black armband instead.
I might wear it on the weekend, too since this year is
a Fourth of July weekend

(14,906 posts)or I could buy a Black Sharpie and color in some think paper.
Oh even better I can go to an Art Supply store and get a nice thicker Canson Mien Tiens black paper.
Saves me from the smell (ugh) of using the Sharpie!
👍 🙂

(70,112 posts)i've mentioned a couple times the white sox 'blackout' games. the team asked the fans to wear their sox black to a few must win games on their way to the pennant, and the did.
i was at one of the games, and it was like the lights werent working. the pics were on the front page of papers across the country. they were stunning.

(14,906 posts)A patterned tie with a black background if it's a more formal gathering.
Informal - a Tee with an image on a black back ground?
To me a black armband is not subtle.

(15,421 posts)I meant to just say subtle, not more. Meaning something not obvious. Definitely no tie in 90 degree backyard weather, I'll be in shorts and a t-shirt. I like the t-shirt idea.

(15,421 posts)I think you thought that I'm a woman, but I'm a man. I also never wear jewelry. Hmm. Black shorts perhaps.
