How the Hell Do I Style This, Episode One: a French blue chore coat.

Vetra's chore coat, in Hydrone, is a classic "bleu de travail." It's made in a hard-wearing cotton sateen moleskin. It has a rich history of use in workwear.

But it's a *bright* shade of blue. Most blues are neutrals. This one is not. So I should pair this with workwear (my true workwear selection is pretty limited, but I have pieces that are close enough for now)... but what do I do about that color?

My first thought was to put together a tonal outfit. Multiple shades of blue could come together nicely. And I think they did. Check it out.

And let me know how I did in a long string of comments that drive up my engagement rate.

Jacket: vetra_france_official (gifted)
Shirt: buckmason (gifted)
Belt: drakesdiary (sample sale)
Pants: toddsnyderny (gifted)
Socks: anonymousism, I think, got those from a sample sale
Loafers: jcrew x aldenshoeco (thrifted)
Fragrance: parfumsdemarly (gifted)
Hat and bag: quakermarine (gifted)

I swear I do actually buy clothing, this outfit just happened to feature a lot of gifted stuff.
