Why do Danes Wear Black?

Wearing black is not a phenomena unique to Copenhagen — individuals across the globe wear black. But it’s become somewhat of an essential adjective when someone describes Copenhagen, especially when you’re trying to capture the essence of the crowd. And there’s a reason why. On a given morning or 4pm afternoon in Copenhagen, when traffic is the greatest especially around the central area, I feel like I’m literally being swept up by waves of Danes dressed in black. Black trench coats, black skin-tight pants, black beanies, black sneakers, black baggy sweaters — it’s astonishing and quite fantastic. Of course not literally every single human of the city wears black at all waking moments. From time to time you may spot individuals donning a shade of blue or grey, and a brave soul in red. But on the whole the color black persists. So the question arises — why exactly do so many Danes (atleast the ones in Copenhagen) wear black? <a href="https://medium.com/@iwasGrace/why-do-danes-wear-black-5107836ac323">Visit Now</a>
