One of the recently discovered favourite colour combinations through wardrobe rotation. Chestnut leather jacket, grey t-shirt, charcoal trousers, and brown brogues. ✨

I’d bang that… is that the question? 🀎🩢

[–] aim4harmony@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago

I'm not sure if that's a question, but my answer is: maybe if you're cute. 🀎🩢

Smart looking. What color is the belt, black or brown?

[–] aim4harmony@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Thanks. It's a plain brown belt.

Todd Howard would be proud

Love it! Maybe matching the metals of the watch and the belt buckle would be even better imo!

[–] aim4harmony@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

Thanks. The idea is interesting. I have a wider and shorter belt with a metal buckle that's more similar to the watch metal. Not sure whether a half-tuck would work with it, however.

Solid, Boring, but there's a place for that, apparently here. Easy to switch up, versatile. Brown shoes with laces are a thing, maybe black Chelseas would go better. Not dissing, you're good, just advice as per the community.

Thanks. While grey isn't an exciting colour, it does something interesting for the top leayers. It allows the top layer to shine while adding a touch of calm and refinement. In this particular look, the warmth of brown leather seems to come through while grey hums at the core.

When I tried it with more jackets in my wardrobe, I was pleasantly surprised by how effective the looks have turned out despite grey being a bring colour.

A few more looks with the other jackets:

Brown + grey = OK Brown + black = OK Brown + blue = OK Grey + blue = OK Black + blue = OK Brown + black + blue = get the hell out of here

Where do you see black here? The trousers? They're charcoal.

[–] unknown@piefed.social 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

They look hella navy to me, ngl.

Also black and navy can look fantastic together when done with intention and the right accessories. That rule is dumb.

[–] aim4harmony@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

Thanks for sharing. In reality, they are charcoal / dark grey. Maybe some undertones are at play or just screen effects.

What is squiggly thing coming out of belt buckle?

[–] aim4harmony@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

Good question. It's a sewn yellow loop of sorts. I'm not sure about the purpose either.

[–] ABCatMom@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Great outfit! Where did you get the jacket from?

[–] aim4harmony@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

Thanks. It's by Goosecraft, a Dutch brand.

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

Is it brown and grey or pink and purple? Check out the lighting.

[–] unknown@piefed.social 2 points 4 weeks ago

This but with some nice grey sneakers would look really good.

This is one of my favourite colour combinations too but I think the brown shoes + brown belt + brown jacket make the whole fit a bit too matchy matchy. That's just a personal preference though and not a crit.

[–] BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Bro, you look like a sim, but in a good way.

Very simple and clean, I might steal this one.

[–] aim4harmony@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

Ha, thanks, man. 🫢

[–] abbotsbury@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Shoes, belt, and jacket match pretty well, that's a solid foundation you can use in many outfits. Good picks.

Only advice is maybe find a darker watchband.

[–] aim4harmony@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Thanks. More recently, I used the charcoal trousers and brown brogues as a base and rotated only jackets and t-shirts. Tried untucked, half-tucked, and tucked in tee variants while maintaining the same poses for consistency. As a result, I have a foundation for a lookbook with many looks with minimal variety. I may post some more looks from this experiment. What's fascinating about this process is that many new outfits are discovered without a need to buy a single item!

For example, the same grey tee.:

Untucked

Half-tucked

Tucked in

Burgundy

Half-tucked

etc.
