Tonal, Textured, and Intentionally Layered

Today, I leaned into fabric contrast in a really thoughtful way—pairing a soft, luxurious tan cashmere sweater with a structured wool sport jacket in a light blue micro-check. The cashmere adds warmth and understated elegance, while the wool jacket brings tailoring and visual interest, giving the look both comfort and polish.

The brown textured trousers ground the outfit with depth and richness, adding another tactile layer that keeps the look from feeling flat. They tie seamlessly into the footwear: a brown suede pair of Allen Edmonds, which adds a relaxed, tactile elegance that complements the softness of the sweater while echoing the earthy tones of the trousers.

Even the socks subtly reinforce the theme—patterned but muted—adding personality without breaking the tonal harmony.
