Matching Twill with Your Wardrobe
It’s not particularly difficult to wear classic vintage twill pants like khakis to your wardrobe. Khakis go well with a range of different shirt and layering options, from dressing up with a suit or a blazer to dressing down with a polo or even a sweatshirt. They run the full gamut.
The real trick is in knowing your fabrics and weave patterns. Twill is made from cotton, so it pairs well with just about any cotton shirt you have to throw at it. But it also pairs well with linen in the summer and even wool in the winter. Think of twill as something of a sartorial cheat sheet: it looks good with anything so long as the fabric weave (made from cotton or wool, usually) is in the same ballpark.
When it comes to shoes, heed the directions of Effortless Gent and try to stick with brown shades. Approximate your shoes to your belt and you’ll have a great base upon which to experiment with different-colored shirts.
