[The Matrix] Why does everyone wear black clothes?

I saw the trailer for the newest matrix movie that is coming out and it got me thinking about the other movies. 

Why does everyone who is part of the resistance wear only black clothes and such when in the matrix? Wouldn’t you want to blend in with ordinary humans in the matrix to prevent agents from noticing you. Like a guy in a group of people who is wearing a black shirt, black pants, a black overcoat, and black glasses isn’t that covert compared to say a guy in jeans and a shirt in the same group.

Like was it explained in the movies or is it just a style choice the creators chose?

It’s not addressed in the movies afaik but it’s probably out of rebellion and nonconformity. 

The citizens of the Matrix are under the control of machines where they’re forced to live dull lives, conforming to the world the machines engineered for them. When they get liberated they obviously have more freedom but their clothes are little more than scavenged rags. When they go back into the matrix they are given much more control over their appearance and clothing and such, so they wear what they consider to be super cool clothes (their concept of which is almost certainly shaped by the fact that they all grew up in a society that is designed to perpetually emulate 1999 earth culture).
