You can think of black pants and the white t-shirt as a foundation to build on. Add a cardigan, an oversize topcoat and a beanie to take things up a notch.

We know cardigans aren’t for everyone (though this one’s nice), so a turtleneck could be a good swap.

Add texture to your black pants

Make things a little more interesting by opting for textured black pants. Corduroy is a good go-to in the colder months.
