Sunday Lunch, Inside
Shawl cardigan doing the job of a jacket at half the weight.
From Off-Duty HoursStyling notes
The shawl collar is the reason this works. It has the same visual weight as a lapel, so the eye reads a jacket where there is only Shetland wool.
Stone chinos keep the bottom half light, which matters when the top half is navy and the room is not.
Why it works
- Navy, white and stone is a three-colour outfit with no colour in it.
- The cardigan can come off at the table without leaving you in shirtsleeves.
- Loafers with chinos is the shortest route to looking finished indoors.
Swap it
Charcoal flannels take this straight into an office on a quiet day.
