Oversized black blazer over textured black shirt dress with knee socks

An all-black study in borrowed tailoring: a slouchy man's blazer softens over a crinkled, plunging shirt dress, with sheer socks and pointed boots giving office dressing an undone, intimate edge.

  • Embroidered sheepskin folk waistcoat · European (unspecified) · European folk & regional dressLook 32

    Own region

    “Black cropped waistcoat edged with curly shearling trim, gold scrolling soutache-style braid on fronts; recalls Balkan/Greek/Romanian/Hungarian folk sheepskin vests (cojoc, fermeli)”

  • Gajtan / gold cord scroll appliqué · Balkans · European folk & regional dressLook 31

    Italy → Balkans

    “Couched gold cord in spiralling scrolls and vertical drops running down black front panels, like Balkan/Ottoman-Greek fermeli or jelek braidwork; Hungarian or Romanian readings also possible.”

  • Sfifa braid trim · Morocco · Middle East & North AfricaLook 33

    Italy → Morocco

    “Gold cord edging runs along the front opening, hem and cuffs, with clustered parallel cord lines on the shoulders. This resembles Moroccan sfifa/passementerie trim on robes.”

  • Kurta · South Asian (unspecified) · South AsiaLook 37

    Italy → South Asian (unspecified)

    “Long band-collar pullover tunic with deep open placket, worn untucked-length over loose wide trousers in matching cloth, reading as a kurta-and-pyjama silhouette in pinstripe cotton.”
