Striped navy knit with beige chinos

Folk's navy-and-brown striped knit gives plain beige ISTO. chinos a clear focal point. The lighter trousers separate the outfit's two halves, while the brown stripes link back to their warm colour. This is a smart-casual option for lunch or a weekend gathering where a plain jumper might feel too understated.

Why it works

The beige trousers pick up the warmth of the brown stripes without adding a second pattern.
Dark navy at the neckline and cuffs frames the finer horizontal lines.

How to wear it

Brown loafers or plain off-white trainers would both sit easily with the trouser colour.
Choose an unpatterned jacket if you add a layer, letting the striped knit remain the focus.
