It is a common occurrence when volunteering for art and fashion events that one gets given a garment or accessory that identifies them as staff. Often times this might be a lanyard, a badge, a hat. Sometimes this is a t-shirt or jacket. Something that is eye-catching and visible in the sight line of the assistance-seeking visitor. Rarely does one get assigned [[pants->A PAIR OF PANTS]].

//a pair of (text-colour:black)+(bg:white)[black] pants// is simultaneously a Melbourne thing, an arts thing and a Melbourne arts scene thing. Appreciated for its cleanliness, its professionalism, and versatility. It's easy to procure and amass swaths of black clothing that never go out of style. Suitable for (almost) all occasions.
