Layers of Blue

So, today was a day of work as I was visiting my University. As you've probably noticed I like adding layers of cardigans and light cotton or wool vests under my jackets to stay warm when the temperatures drop. Today the theme was different hues of blue with contrasting khaki chinos.




I'm actually a huge fan of layering these kind of clothes the way I do. It is very convenient at work, as you can just hang the jacket if it is too warm and you still won't be just with your "undershirt".  You can also create some nice contrasts between your trousers and/or your jacket. Furthermore, with different weight pieces you can pretty much work between +15 degrees Celsius and +2-3 degrees Celsius.




Anyway, today I went with my navy fall jacket, a blue (it's not as dark as it looks here) cotton cashmere blend cardigan and a sky blue spread collar shirt. Pocket square is a plain white cotton square.




Again with my favorite penny loafers, this time with quite bright blue cotton merino blend socks. One other thing I'd like to mention here is always remember to press your pants. It just adds just edge that is essential to any look.

    Lovely again! I really like how the elegant silk tie goes with the casual ensemble.

    Seems like Viccel socks, am I right? Have you tried the Marcoliani merino wool socks btw? I have not really managed to go over to OTC socks, have you?

    From Norway :)

      The socks here are from Falke actually. And I have a few pairs of OTCs from Pantherella, they're quite nice when the temperatures go down. Marcolianis are yet to be tried, where have you gotten yours?

    Fantastic shoes. Those loafers look spectacular.
    What mark or brand are they. And where may they be obtained?

      Hey there. These loafers are from Cheaney. However, they are a special MTO pair made for the US market some years ago, so unfortunately I think there is no model like this currently available. Many other brands have similar sleek penny loafers though. :)

    That's really to bad.
    I have been looking for a relatively slimmer and s,eager pair of penny loafers and so far without luck.
    Any recommendations?

      Hmm, C&J Sydney is actually the only shoe that I think looks similar to these. Round tip, but slightly elongated and sleeker. Hopefully that helps. :)
