WIW: Black & Denim - YouLookFab Forum

This outfit just felt really good today. Everything is at least 4 years old. Black and denim has been a love of mine for years with no signs of ever becoming boring :-). Sometimes I wonder if dark blue (not quite navy) is a good color with my skin/hair tones but I think this outfit shows that it IS.

The spots on the mirror are imperfections in the reflective materials. This mirror belonged to my grandmother so sentimental value takes precedence over perfection.

Sweater - Macy's Charter Club Cashmere (one of the very few cashmere lines that even today comes in petite sizes)
Scarf - from Lord & Taylor. Still miss them.

Black & denim is such a classic comb and you wear it well, combined with your black overcoat and other accessories you look very chic.

KILLER and gorgeously classic.

One of your all time best! Absolutely perfectly fitting coat and jeans. Casually elegant!

Dark blue loves you right back!

The white accents in the scarf make the look to my eye. They effectively pick up your light hair, and the result is punchy

Roberta

Timeless, and you elevated the look with great accessories. LOVE the scarf!

Sisi

I like this outfit very much! It flatters you a lot. I like how the white pattern of the scarf enlightens the ensemble. I would be fond of that mirror as well!

Mirjana

Timeless, elegant look. I also like black and jeans very chic. Gorgeous outfit.

Thanks so much Dee, Sisi, and Mirjana

Thanks Angie and I agree about the scarf, the white lightens up the whole look. This scarf also has a bit of brown in it and I reach for it often.

Thanks Roberta and agreed, this is a fab scarf!

Bonnie

I really like the blues and black with your coloring. Lovely outfit!

Suz

Terrific outfit, Chris! The dark blue scarf with white accents really makes it. Black and blue is so sophisticated.

Thanks Bonnie!

merwoman

Oldies but goodies! Beautifully put together!

Thanks Suz and merwoman ... OBG YES!

Aquamarine

Chris, I love this on you. I love blue and black together when it’s done right. This is done right.

I miss Lord & Taylor too.

Sal

Smart modern classic outfit - and as Angie said - perfectly fitting!

Firecracker (Sharan)

I agree this combination is great, and you wear it well! The scarf really elevates the outfit, and the adjective "elegant," as Angie noted, came to mind for me, too. Very sumptuous looking fabrics and leather on the bag, plus the perfect fit of everything gives a tailored look. So glad you took the time to share the outfit with us. I love it when an outfit just feels right, like this one did for you.

That’s a really nice scarf, looks great on you.

Jaime

Great outfit and what Angie said about the scarf exactly!

Indigoprint

Yes! You look Fab.
That scarf pulls everything together so well.
Good colors for you!

Star

Black and denim is classic and one of my favorites. You wear it well!

Bijou

You look beautiful and Angie has provided the analysis to explain why this timeless look works so well.

RobinF

Looks great! I also like black with denim, easy to pull out and feel good. Beautiful scarf.

Thanks Aquamarine! Yeah L&T was one of the best. Some other company bought the brand and has a retail web site but it's not the same at all.

Thanks for the kind words Sal, Lee, Jaime, Indigoprint, Star, Bijou, RobinF !

Firecracker thanks and yes this bag is a pebbled leather and even though I've used it heavily for 3 or 4 years it hardly shows any signs of wear. I always give Radley of London a look when I'm looking for bags.
