Why Wearing Black Makes A Man Look Aggressive! RMRS Style Videos

About this video

Centeno discusses a 2013 study from the Czech Republic showing that the color black is perceived as more aggressive when worn by men. He explains how understanding this research allows men to control their presentation strategically—wearing black to project aggression or choosing alternative dark colors like navy to appear respected without seeming overly aggressive depending on the social context.

Key takeaways

• Centeno argues that black clothing is consistently perceived as more aggressive on men, supported by research showing subjects rated black-clad individuals as more aggressive than those in other colors
• Centeno recommends considering context when choosing dark colors—black for situations requiring an aggressive presence, and alternatives like dark blue suits when wanting respect without aggression
• Centeno emphasizes that clothing color is a controllable tool for managing how others perceive you and shaping social dynamics in professional and personal environments
