Personal Shopper: Black on Black

Reader Request

I just graduated cosmetology school and got a job at a salon. The dress code is head-to-toe black, but we can wear any type of clothing we like, as long as it's all black. It's a pretty edgy place. I want to be stylish and fit in but also be comfortable, since I'll be on my feet all day. Do you have any ideas for something I can wear that won't be boring?

Since you can't express yourself with color, look for interesting silhouettes and textures. Here, I combined sheer, lightweight chiffon with leather and glitter for an interesting contrast. For a bit of color, I added a bright bag (nobody will see it while you're working anyway)!
