perfectly simple outfit for those cooler spring days

why this works: the slimmer pants balance out the boxy shirt jacket (although keep in mind there’s no way to make clothes that just plain don’t fit look good.) as discussed previously, the earthy brown shoes and bag (and hardbound book) warm up the cool blues and blacks of the rest of the outfit, and the colorful plaid peeking out hints its wearer isn’t always as serious as he looks.

why this works:  the blues of the jeans and shirt complement each other well, and the shirt’s gingham pattern provides visual “texture” underneath the jacket — which i don’t love, but the brown is a warm, earthy contrast to the cool blues and greys of the rest of the outfit; a blue or grey jacket would be too monochromatic.  i like the idea of new balances, but i haven’t brought myself to buy a pair yet; nevertheless, the cool grey here is understated and blends well with the jeans and shirt.  the loosely rolled (rather than crisply rolled or folded) cuffs keep the look casual, while fashion-forward socklessness indicates the casualness is intentional not sloppy.  or maybe all his socks are in the laundry
