I’d love more information on jeans styles. If you end up having time and thoughts on the matter, I am very curious as to what element is key to an item’s style: Fabric? Color? Texture? Structure/cut? For example, if the blazer is a dark neutral color and very structured but is corduroy, does texture turn otherwise “classic” into “relaxed”? And/or, do different styles have a key element (e.g., if something is asymmetrical, it’s “creative” by definition, etc.) And how do the different styles tie in with levels of refinement, if at all? Thanks for your guidance!
