Rules at work
The reasoning
Why it works. Tonal dressing in the achromatic family. The charcoal knit is one lightness step up from black, which stops the outfit becoming a silhouette. Mix textures (wool, knit, leather) so the eye has something to read.
Wear it to gallery openings, late dinners, concerts.
Styling note. Mix textures to separate the black pieces. Matte fabrics are quiet; a little sheen can work well for evening.
