Friday in Denim
A knit vest turns a shirt and jeans into something you could take into a meeting.
From The Quiet OfficeStyling notes
The vest is the whole idea. It does everything a blazer does to a shirt — narrows the torso, gives the shoulder a line, adds a second colour — at a quarter of the weight.
Rigid denim rather than stretch. It holds a straight leg all day, which is what keeps this on the right side of casual.
Why it works
- Navy over white over indigo is one colour family stepped three ways.
- The belt is visible, which is what tells the eye the shirt is tucked on purpose.
- Tan loafers warm up a cool outfit at the floor.
Swap it
The ivory blazer over the top, and Friday becomes Tuesday.
