Every once in a while, statement coats like the houndstooth piece featured need to be toned down a bit for an element of casual refinement.
If you’re looking for subtle ways to play down the formalities a statement coat can demand, see three of my styling tips below:
I. Try a light layering technique on the top half
Opt for a soft white t-shirt to layer underneath a plain oxford shirt for a clean appearance.
II. Go for a relaxed trouser or a slim fit jean
When it comes to choosing, it’s based on preference. If you’d rather keep to the ideal of a more stylistic look, a wide legged trouser reads a bit more expressive. If you enjoy belts, a simple leather option always makes for a smart choice. If you simply prefer a more utilitarian look, a classic pair of slim fitting jeans is very easy.
III. Finish The Look With A Pair of White SneakerS
Keep it clean, simple and playful. It doesn’t get much simpler than a pair of white tennis sneakers. if you prefer a more dressy feel, a simplistic derby is a great play.
