What are the benefits of wearing black clothes in winter?


Sunlight is more reflected and pushed back from bright, smooth or shiny surfaces. Black or rough surfaces absorb sunlight. White clothes reduce heat by reflecting sunlight. In winter we need heat more. If you stand in the sun wearing black clothes or sweaters, you will get hotter and faster. Black color absorbs heat more. So it happens. So it is convenient to wear white clothes in summer and black clothes in winter. You may have seen that buffaloes are black and get very hot and sit in water puddles in summer.
