The best way to make the white top + black bottom look work is to choose interesting silhouettes and textures. If your pieces are too basic you'll end up looking like a waiter.

Try funkier cuts -- bubble skirts, retro collars and jackets -- in solid black or white because this palette is a natural for experimenting (i.e. a bubble skirt in black looks fresh; in fuchsia it's scary).
