A Fistful of Style

Usually my style revolves around a generally “more is more” ethos, rather than focusing on one color, or working specifically with a set of patterns or textures (though I do that sometimes).

But I got these gray flannels last weekend and they have such a beautiful green cast to them (that my pictures really don’t do justice) so I decided to play that up.  Dark green shirt with pale green sweater with a gray wool tie that has a slightly more teal green cast than my the olive cast of the trousers.  Flourish was provided by some gray sunglasses and  blue and yellow in the socks and watch to provide complimentary colors on both sides of the color wheel.

Also of note, the scarf (again rendered in green & blue) sans jacket.  I think on days like this where it’s 60/65 degrees during the day and then dips down at night.  A scarf can be a great substitute for a jacket.  It’s easier to put away when it’s warm and pull out again when it gets cool.

Also, I think a haphazardly wrapped scarf is a very “dashing” look that often gets overlooked in favor of the more “elegant” scarf tucked neatly into an overcoat.  But that might just be me.
