For whatever reason, I find that pairing colored denim with black is no easy sartorial feat. Most of the time I feel like a painting in high relief, with way too much contrast. While that’s probably not exactly true, would you agree at least a little bit?

Imagine my surprise at finding this look from Stockholm Street Style to be totally covetable. Black and yellow?! That is just crazy, right? Whenever I think of those two colors together, I immediately think of a bumble bee. However, the rich but not too bright shade of yellow that’s almost-but-not-quite mustard really works. In this case the contrast is pretty perfect. Since we all have at least one (if not 100) black tops in our closet and probably a few pairs of black booties too, we can all take this look for a test drive in a flash.

Try the pairing for yourself with Mother flares in ‘goldfish,’ or Citizens of Humanity skinnies in ‘Marigold.’
