Why this outfit works

  • A long open cardigan over a fitted black turtleneck draws one long line, so a full plaid midi looks balanced, not bulky.
  • Pick your knit from the lightest color in the plaid. The oatmeal stripe is why the oatmeal cardigan ties it all together.
  • Brown loafers pick up the warm browns in the skirt and keep the look easy for an evening out.
