I think the strongest thing this fashion norm has going for it is that, without having read or even heard about this post until showing up at solstice, I and at least one other person who also hadn’t heard of it managed to coordinate on the same theme of “black + shiny” simply by wanting to wear something decorative for the occasion. I also like the “wear something you would like to be asked about” as a different kind of fashion coordination point, and think that it would be great for the summer solstice, which has a bit more of that vibe.
