Classic With An Edge

Dries Van Noten Blazer (also seen here), Whistles sweater, Hermes Belt, Oak and Fort wool trousers (similar here), Rebecca Minkoff Loafers, Chanel sunglasses, Balenciaga handbag (similar for less here).

  Years ago, a sale's person once described my style as classic with an edge. At that time, I wore a lot of jeans and sweaters paired with very funky shoes. Over the years my look has evolved into a more sophisticated version of that while remaining true to its original description. Even this outfit, which is comprised of a cropped navy wool pant and sweater, topped with a timeless yet edgy Dries Van Noten blazer and these silver loafers, is in fact a version of edgy classic.

   I tend to shy away from a cropped pant because of the fear of shaving inches off my already short stature. Yet, maintaining a monochromatic color scheme, helps to negate that outcome. Hence the navy sweater, pant and belt. 

  I guess that certain traits remain constant, and that goes for style as well.
