making black pants work..

[jt10000]

Wear some camel colored shoes, button down, and cardigan...you can make black pants work...it's the rest...maybe a glen plaid blazer.

This is really good.

The other way black pants can work is going for the full "arty/designer look" - with all blacks and grays expect perhaps for a very muted color shirt (gray, dull blue, or white).

The UK is generally quite happy with them apart from the occasional closed minded person.

This is also know as the "Just finished a lunch shift, too lazy to change pants, but don't be mistaken, I'm an artsy designer trying to break out".
