In North Texas, a single week can bring a cold morning and a warm afternoon. Your wardrobe should handle both without a second thought.
Here is how to choose fabrics for the season we actually have.
Think in layers, not heavy cloth
A medium-weight wool suit with a fine merino knit or a light overcoat serves better here than thick winter cloth. You can add warmth in the morning and shed it by noon.
Flannel, used wisely
Flannel brings a soft, refined texture to the cooler months. Choose a lighter weave for daily wear and save the heavier pieces for travel to colder cities.
Deepen the color palette
Charcoal, deep navy, brown and muted greens feel right as the light changes. They read as considered and seasonal without drawing attention.
Texture adds quiet interest
A subtle herringbone, a woven tie or a suede shoe adds depth to a simple outfit. Texture is the most understated way to show care.
One coat that does it all
A well-cut navy or camel overcoat that fits over a suit is the single best investment for the season. It completes the picture on every cold morning.
