Friends of Colhay's Lookbook: Work Outfits with the Superfine Lambswool Shawl Collar Cardigan in Ecru

"Friends of Colhay's" is a series of lookbooks featuring our friends in the menswear community who have worn our knitwear in particularly stylish and creative ways that we think would make for wonderful styling inspirations to others.

This lookbook features work outfits with our superfine lambswool shawl collar cardigan in ecru.

Tonal Combinations

Our superfine lambswool shawl collar cardigan in ecru makes an excellent companion for relaxed, modern workwear in office studios or at home.

Here are some examples of smart work outfits.

Will of The Dons Club pairs the cardigan with neutral palettes, creating a timeless and cosy look. Combined with wool trousers and loafers, the outfit finely balances smart and casual for an effortlessly dapper attire.

Another beautiful tonal combination where oatmeal and ecru are matched up for this outfit. The presence of the shirt and smart trousers makes it a more formal outfit:

Statement Top

A nice alternative to tonal dressing - you can wear a pair of smart trousers with a top that is more bright or more of a statement colour; the ecru of the shawl collar cardigan works as a blank canvas upon which to show your personality:

Below are some wonderfully elegant office ensembles that feature check patterned/statement trousers. Note that the top half is always in more plain/block colours, so as not to make the overall outfit too busy.

Another tip when wearing statement trousers is to keep the patterned trousers within the cream/oat/brown colours - to go with the ecru colour of the shawl collar cardigan.
