Been thinking a little bit about how I like to wear colour and create contrast and cohesion in my outfits. And one thing that struck me is around the way I’ll typically wear an outerwear piece. Something I seem to crave and desire – right now, that is – is a consistency in the tones, saturation and depth of colour between my top and outerwear. So, in the first example, wearing a cardigan that is richer in depth, cool-toned, and grey-leaning. Reflecting these same qualities in my choice of outerwear. Which seems to have translated to the bag as well, which is in a darker hue. To me this just “felt right” to finish things off. My eye seems to be fixated on this notion of harmony, and that seems to ring true here.
The same can be said of the second outfit, this time leaning more on my lighter neutrals. While the coat is slightly lighter than the knit, it still has the same impact. Again, tied in with that choice of bag. What makes it feel more interesting is that little added touch of the pink check. The scarf has a fuzzy almost wispy quality which creates contrast in a subtle way, as it feels lighter compared to the more compact weave of both the knit and the coat.
