There are a lot of associations for people who wear black. I could do a whole essay on it, but personally, I associate it with people in the performing arts. For many actors and dancers who find themselves training in an attempt to hopefully someday tread a board, black clothing is de rigueur. It’s seen as the great equaliser - that absence of colour allows others to see past clothing and focus on the individual and skill.

It’s the opportunity of a lifetime - You’ll be sequestered to a place you’ve always dreamed of living, for three perfectly temperate months, doing something you’ve always wished to do. The height of formality will be a dinner date at a restaurant, the most casual a picnic in the park or a Sunday afternoon barbecue.
