I can often tell when someone wears a pair because of the knife pleats on the front, which add to the cinched-waist look of the pants
Certain materials lend themselves naturally to specific shoe styles, and here are some to be aware of: Cotton dresses are best paired with moccasins, loafers, or ballet pumps for a casual yet structured look
The standout was a cocooning knitted cape dress with cosy front pockets
Pro note: In relaxed settings, a sweater under a blazer or a tieless look still reads semi-formal if everything else is sharp
To keep this exercise a little simpler, I will leave out outerwear and accessories (which would be an entire post in itself)
That said, their wool peacoats, or mohair-blend polo shirts, and even the thought-out collabs theyve done think: Tekla, New Balance or KITH have featured on many editors' shopping lists
