Mixing Textures: Outfit Ideas to Get You Started

Mixing textures makes for super creative outfits that are sure to turn heads.

There is no exact formula for mixing textures. In fact, we recommend you try out a bunch of different textures for different occasions to see what you like best.

Without even knowing it, you already mix and match texture in your daily outfits. However, internationally pairing certain textures can help to determine the focus for the style.

These texture dichotomies will help move your style away from basic cotton looks to more multifaceted ensembles.

Pairing 1: Silk and Denim

Top, Bottoms, Shoes, Bag

Silk, lace and denim make for a great evening look.

These textures complement each other so well as they are true opposites. The sheen and softness of silk with the more rough and scratchy feeling of denim creates a perfect balance. You’ll end up with the ideal composition for a dressy, but not too dressy, outfit.

Pairing 2: Corduroy and Cable Knit

Overalls, Sweater, Shoes, Backpack, Necklace

Corduroy and cable knit might just be the ultimate fall combo.

These textures both offer a different pattern that just connects so well. Cable knit and corduroy are both more neutral and casual textures. Paired together, they create a the perfect put-together-but-super-comfy fall outfit.
