Is the unwritten rule to leave the bottom button undone on a cardigan? One of my favorite get-ups here. I need to try a pair of the Docker khakis.
Andrew
Chris, I’m not sure if it’s a rule or not, but I usually leave the bottom button undone. Glad you like it!
Jano
Love the getup.

I’ve also wanted to add the cardigan to my closet. Had difficult at first but finally found one. Didn’t know about the bottom button. Glad I know now! Thanks.
Brian
Nice look, but I must ask… Are those pants gray? Are brown shoes with gray pants an acceptable color combination?
Andrew
Hey Brian, Yep they are. Don’t confuse gray to be ‘light black,’ it is its own color and can work with most other colors similar to navy, making it very versatile.
