Three layers today - with a long sleeve merino wool t-shirt underneath the turtleneck. There is no reason why thick, chunky cardigans like this can’t be worn as outerwear so don’t be afraid to layer knitwear on knitwear. There are textures from the cashmere turtleneck, ribbed cardigan and country grain leather shoes with some pattern from the socks.
For an outfit like this, I think that things need to be chunky and not sleek, hence the shoes. I feel more and more these days, that country grain leather is an great complement to the texture of corduroy trousers.
Turtleneck - Lord & Taylor
Shoes - Crockett and Jones
