Blending color-neutral and earth-tones

Here I am using my long cherished Ts in thick PIMA cotton in vibrant earth tones. I am using these as statement pieces and therefore everything else is neutral (but for a cognac belt).

In all the three images,

(a) the over shirt is actually a casual shirt in khakhi from Pepe Jeans (almost new),

(b) the Chinos are in an ivory hue with a 70% cotton-25% viscose-5% linen blend from Levis.

(d) the highlight of the night is each of the three PIMA Ts. These are (you wouldn't believe) made from 100% PIMA cotton imported from the U.S. (YES!), woven, designed, and retailed in India (directly from the factory) at a very competitive price. The three colors of Ts are royal (midnight) blue, merlot (shade of wine), and sage green.

Excuse me as I have not yet worn my shoes here (they are in my shoe rack outside the house). These are tan colored suede loafers, which would add depth to the overall look.

I don't know if you have used PIMA cotton dresses. These are heavy with a natural luster. I don't think you can gauge the luster of the Ts in my images, but the midnight blue is actually dramatically shining. Since everything else is neutral, the outfit is grounded and looks sophisticated, yet effortless. I even called my wifey to show them as I wore, and she even suggested that I check with the HR of my company is these qualify as business casuals (she digs my idea, but I am not doing this as such outfits are for my casual outdoors).

A shout out to these PIMA guys. The name of the company is Off North. I am just sharing the link of the company for informative purposes: https://offnorth.com.
