SPRING LAYERING

This is an interesting color combination inadvertently put on while traveling on the west coast last week. It was a result of not packing properly, with LA a cold and rainy city. It worked out ok, and even looked refreshingly spring appropriate. Layering darker colors under a lighter color sweater often doesn’t look so hot, the whole thing tends to look unbalanced. But when you start with a beautiful sky blue shirt like this version from Steven Alan, the rules go out the window. And since it’s not summer yet, an oatmeal colored sweatshirt will keep you just warm enough. 100% cotton single needle Steven Alan dress shirt, $168 & cotton/poly reversible crew neck sweatshirt by The West is Dead, $150.
