Color, pattern, texture. This is all stuff with a cold weather feel. Everything I’m wearing except my tie, shirt and shoes is made of wool. And the tie is a raw silk that has been woven to feel like wool.
Softer clothing like this used to be reserved for weekend wear, but in today’s more casual world, it has made inroads with those who have some sort of dress code to which they must adhere. Unlike typical business suit combinations, sport coats allow the wearer to really play with color, pattern, and texture. I wasn’t that thrilled with what I had on until I added the navy sweater vest.
Do you like to play with color, pattern, and texture? Or is it too much work? Would you carry the practice over to suits? Or, is your work place far too conservative?
