When in doubt, wear stripes… right? A motto I’ve clearly been living by recently, judging by how often I wear the ever classic stripe. So I thought I’d share a closer look at a recent outfit I wore, featuring the humble Breton but with that modern twist I frequently seek out in my wardrobe basics.
Wearing Alessandra Cashmere ruffle striped knit (size S); Everlane skinny jeans (size 26 ankle); Vaneli two tone pumps (size US9); IRO coat (size US4/ old but similar option here and also here); Fendi bag; Mejuri earrings; Linjer rings; Rosefield watch; Missoma bracelet
For me, the standout with this knit isn’t just the colour. It’s the side slits with ruffles. It creates a really interesting silhouette, plus I love the fun peek-a-boo detail, revealing a little bit of skin when it’s warmer, or a layer underneath when it’s cooler.
I have been mixing up silhouettes on my lower half, but generally tend to stick to classic proportions. Big on top, slim on bottom (and vice versa), so a skinny jean it is.
And as always, to finish off my outfit… my beloved two tone pumps.
