I did just order a white shirt and a black shirt, and wondering how to use the black shirt.

White dress shirts mean business but black dress shirts, at the other end of the spectrum—literally—give off wildly different vibes. In recent years, they've been relegated to backs of most men's closets on account of their sartorial associations with mobsters, stage hands, and Euro rave-goers. Plus, they can be hard to pull off.

To modernize the look, keep the foulard tie pattern, but lose the fedora, slim up your lapels and collar, and stick to colors in the red color family. (For whatever reason, blues, purples, and even yellow ties with a black shirt will make you look like you're in the ensemble of Guys & Dolls.)
Is a Black Dress Shirt Inherently Corny?
