I’m amazed by your recent comment on how different your style used to be. You do this kind of thing so incredibly well that I thought it was what you had always done, simply the most natural/obvious-feeling thing in the world to you. #3 is awesome. It’s interesting to me that both you and Synne, short and tall, dark hair & light, both make the tonal matching (in a non-technical sense) of light colors work so well.
ETA would you say the jeans in #2 have twisted seams?
