I need help/insight. Started at a new salon, dress code is black shirt and either jeans or black trousers. I'm finding it hard to mix black shirt/jeans without looking extremely boring. Also, I cannot really wear long sleeves because it gets quite hot when I'm using the blow dryer. I've been thinking of just doing a long tank like julius or ro under a simple black uneck or something. Any suggestions would be wonderful!

Your strategy sounds good, Speak. The key to black top/black bottom is finding the right textures to mix. Otherwise you end up looking like a waiter or a hairdresser at a downtown salon. Oh, wait...
Another key to such a deceptively simple look is footwear, of course. Good boots can make or break your outfit. Given your profession, you will want the boots to be comfortable, too.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

shirt as in button up or t-shirt? or just any black top?
edit: since you mentioned the u-neck, I assume a t-shirt is fine.
I think black tops look the best with dark grey jeans/pants. a black long fitting t-shirt, tank top, dark grey jeans and some boots should look pretty baller.Last edited by lowrey; 01-11-2009, 02:45 PM."AVANT GUARDE HIGHEST FASHION.

Speak, concur with others. If you can get away with dark gray jeans, definitely throw them into the mix. If you can ball, a pair of NN (like the black ones from this, and virtually every season) is a good bet. If you are on the budget get Uniqlo "skinny" (they are not, just fitted) jeans for $50. I think jet black jeans have the right texture to mix with a dress shirt and NOT look like a douchebag. Waxed jeans are cool too, but I personally find them a bit uncomfortable and heavy.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

sorry to side track this convo but does anyone have any other recommendations for slim/skinny jeans in dark grey/charcoal? I have a pair of the Uniqlo T-000's, however I want something a bit darker and I don't really want to fork out for grey N(N) jeans.

Not sure if Skull is still making the 5010 in grey, but those are a nice dark grey color. There are also some RAF dark grey jeans around, but I think they are pretty close in price to the n(n).
Of course there is also Cheap Monday but I don't know if those are any darker than the Uniqlos.the woman Balmain is wild, casual, explosive cocktail of a sailor and a ballerina

I tried grey black tight cheap monday jeans but didn't really like the fit, I think the rise may have been too high. skull jeans aren't really all that slim, more of a modern straight leg than anything. I'll probably just keep an eye on Y! for charcoal N(N) skinny darted jeans unless I can find something cheap, only problem is size 1 for that model seems to be somewhat rare even in Japan.

Thanks guys,
Any recommendations on dark grey jeans? I do have a couple pairs of the N(N) jeans, but they're in blue/grey. I'm not really on too much of a budget as far as denim is concerned, because I feel like you can make good use of them.
Also, another little side question. Are uneck/scoop necks kind of going out? I like them because they look good when layering under them, but I feel like I've been seeing a lot more fitted necks these days.
