Yes, this outfit is as comfortable as they come. Based on the cozy high-neck and casual distressed jeans, you’re safe to assume this is the perfect ensemble for running errands or traveling. Frankly, I like anything I can wear that feels “dressed down” while looking off-duty chic. The trick is picking the right style of clothing to achieve this approach.

I like working with the rules of opposites: whatever you wear up top should contrast below the belt, leaving room for the accessory or footwear of choice to unify what’s happening above the ankle. That being said, a distressed pair of relaxed-fit jeans deserve a more structured high-neck sweater as a partner. With kicks as killer as these, they not only stand out but act as the perfect bridge of balance. Shop similar below:
