yes I used to prefer black color! but now I'm a bit more extreme - I don't buy clothes anymore, I made my own:)

I don't have the tailoring skill myself yet, but here is what I do:
- Knowing what you want - gather inspiration or draw them
- Finding natural fabric
- for summer: cotton, silk, muslin
- for winter: wool or cashmere
- Searching 1-2 skilled and reasonably priced tailor, but you need do small things to test their skills and taste first
I even sat there to watch how the tailor made the clothes, and it turned out it's a skill so learnable : measure - cut - sew - adjust 👀
But the whole thing was quite time consuming at first, but then you can make everything you want once you test a few times, real freedom:)

oh yes! also learning how to tell which fabric is natural (and good for what) 👀 this is really important - seeing what's really inside instead of the outside brands/looks.
now I'm onto figuring out how to find the natural dyeing fabric, trying to limit chemicals in my life:)

dyeing fabric? 👀
I think we are missing out on so much fun in figuring out how to get things down thanks to all the click-convenient buying junks.
