Casual laundry wash

## The pieces

### relaxed cream beige striped collared cotton-like woven long-sleeve shirt

The cream beige striped shirt lightens the charcoal-and-black base, while the open collar loosens the tailored read of the wide-leg suiting trousers.

### relaxed dark grey wide-leg wool-like suiting trousers

The dark grey wide-leg trousers carry the look’s volume, giving the relaxed shirt a sharper tailored counterpoint even with the waist partly obscured.

### black penny polished leather-like loafers

The black penny loafers sharpen the hemline of the wide trousers, and the visible white socks create the retro break between dark fabric and polished leather-like finish.

## The look, explained

The look works in a narrow register: relaxed tailoring kept clean by a restrained cream, charcoal, black, and white palette. The open collar takes the starch out of the button-front shirt, while the broad straight trousers hold most of the volume and keep the silhouette from reading too polite. The white socks create a deliberate interruption between dark trouser and black loafer, a small retro menswear move that is more pointed than casual.
