How to Style

Peanut's warm neutral tone pairs beautifully with camel, olive, and navy tailoring. For business settings, wear with a charcoal or navy suit and a crisp white shirt. For smart-casual, pair with tan trousers, a knit, and a soft-shouldered jacket. The tone is versatile enough to bridge between fall/winter tailoring and lighter spring palettes.
