So I decided to splurge on this burgundy knit polo from Octobre Éditions. I really love their stuff and kind of wanted to build a fall office fit around it.
As usual, taking some inspiration from Velasca’s autumn colour palettes, particularly the mix of warm, earthy tones along with cooler neutrals. I ended up choosing this charcoal grey because it balances out the richness of the burgundy, while the dark brown suede loafers add some warmth back into the outfit.
I love how Mediterranean the whole outfit feels because of that.
The high rise and the pleats are a big part of this because I tried a couple of different trousers, but these ones provide a bit more volume through the hips and thighs, especially with my longer torso. So it helps define the waist while keeping the proportions balanced. It helps me achieve a relaxed silhouette without looking sloppy, oversized, or even frumpy.
So I ended up really enjoying this fit, though I’m still thinking of ways to make it better.
