I usually wear black T-shirts during normal dance nights, for two reasons. Firstly I'm a firm believer in the slimming qualities of of black tops, especially when not tucked in Secondly it hides the sweat stains better than any other colour I frequently describe the quality of a night's dancing by the number of shirts I get through, eg a four shirter, or a five shirter.
For freestyles, I tend to go for the trouser and braces, shirt and waistcoat style of Nigel, et al, albeit with a couple of shirts in reserve. For period functions (eg 1940s) it's either white tie and tails, or proper military uniforms, but that's because I'm a complete peacock and dress up at the drop of a (top)hat.
I have some remarkably LOUD baggies, with purple and other coloured T-shirts, which come out on weekenders, or at Beach Boogie. They sometimes make an appearance in London, when the weather is hot.
In answer to your question, there are sound reasons for wearing black tops (and changing them frequently ) but nothing to stop you wearing ones with colourful prints. This leaves plenty of room for loud trousers, to maintain your individuality against the MIB throng.
