A Masterclass on Mixing Textures | The Outfit Pitch

Your Masterclass on Texture

Once you master it, combining textures becomes the simplest way to transform any outfit into a fashion-forward statement. Ahead, explore a mini masterclass on mixing textures, ensuring your ensembles never fall flat.

Lean into A Color Scheme

Ground your outfit in a specific color for foolproof texture mixing. Opt for pieces within the same color family and enhance your ensemble with varied textures. Our Bias Dress pairs wonderfully with any knit—particularly our favorite, the Shrunken Crewneck—layered on top or draped over the shoulders (just like editors do it). Continue the theme by adding textured and monochromatic accessories.

Stick to a Color Family

When you're pressed for time, the best choice is to combine texture with something simple. Our Pocket Tee in cotton—a classic—provides the perfect counterbalance to our silky Bias Midi Skirt and showcases sophisticated elegance. For an added touch, consider styling with a suede tote, mesh flats, and minimal accessories.

Dupe with Print

Texture and print are frequently used interchangeably, because they both give dimension to an outfit. Leverage this and mimic the effect of mixed textures through the use of prints. For instance, pair our Tailored Skirt in Plaid Houndstooth with our wool turtleneck and Two Button Blazer. Complete the ensemble with a stylish pair of pumps, a croc handbag, and an unconventional pair of hoops.
