So, let's divide the wardrobe into 3 conditional seasons. Summer, spring/autumn and winter. I live in Russia, so winter is cold up to -30 Celsius, and spring and autumn are from 0 to 10 degrees. Late spring and early autumn are 10-15 degrees (this is also when the trees remain green)
In winter I will wear high boots:
I will wear them with tweed jackets (eg navy tweed + turtleneck), grey flannel trousers + navy parka n3b Altitude. I will wear them with tweed jackets (eg navy tweed + turtleneck), grey flannel trousers.
Autumn and spring, when the temperature is from 0 to 12 degrees:
Grey trousers, tweed/flannel jackets, navy coats.
Summer means a linen suit and suede sneakers.
But I am confused by the temperature of 12-15 degrees. It seems too warm, and there is too much greenery and summer feeling around to wear derbies. Or am I wrong? It is also too warm for tweed, I think. So I decided to make a flannel suit as a transitional option between tweed and linen. Is it the right decision? Also, I am not sure that derbies with a flannel suit in this temperature is a good idea. I think derbies are appropriate with tweed and a coat, but this is too much.
I could suggest buying suede loafers in brown. But they do not match my wardrobe. Because of my "dark winter" color type, all warm shades of colors do not suit me. They make me look very bad. Because of this, the choice of jackets is limited to blue and gray, and the knitwear underneath can be burgundy, black, dark green. I do not see any shoe options other than black models that could suit me. And black derbies are boring, more formal and I don't want another pair of black shoes.
My jackets are either dark blue or dark gray, the same goes for trousers. So, do I need a shoe that's somewhere between a derby and a sneaker?
