Seen in Milan, Italy

The cardigan at the crossing

A fitted sky-blue cashmere cardigan and brown leather pencil skirt make a feminine office silhouette, softened by tiny ballet sneakers and grey socks.

Why it works

The close fit keeps the look precise while the small sneakers and visible socks interrupt the expected office shoe without losing polish.

Make it yours · High meets low

Pair a fitted cardigan with a pencil skirt, then use a small everyday shoe and one visible sock to loosen the office code.
