Balance the pieces

The black Flynn cardigan is the single upper piece. Dark straight jeans continue the line beneath it. Pale clogs lighten the hem, while a brown tote keeps the outfit from becoming a uniform block of black.

Check the setting and fit

If wearing the cardigan buttoned as a top, check coverage and button gaps when reaching and sitting. Add an existing base layer if needed. Backless clogs and denim suit some offices and not others, so use your workplace’s actual rules.

Start with what you own

The cardigan and jeans are the core. Try those with closed shoes you already wear to work before considering the clogs. A pale shoe is an optional contrast, not a requirement for making dark denim and black knitwear work together.
