Beautiful Textures. Easy Layers.
There is something special about an outfit that looks beautifully put together without looking overly styled. This Cut Loose combination is a perfect example: familiar silhouettes, wonderful natural-fiber textures, thoughtful details, and colors designed to work together.
Cut Loose is sewn and dyed in San Francisco, and that attention to fabric and color is one of the things our customers notice again and again. Victoria Susan Wearable Art
Start With a Classic Shirt — Then Look Closer
The Fitted Shirt in Linen Cotton has the familiar shape of a classic collared button-up, but with a closer fit through the body. What makes it especially interesting is the fabric.
The 70% cotton, 30% linen blend has wonderful slub detailing and natural variation that gives the solid color real depth and character. Rather than being simply a basic shirt, the texture becomes part of the outfit.

Add the Layer That Makes the Outfit
Over it, we love the Puff Sleeve Textured Knit Cardigan.
This is one of those pieces where the details matter. The beautifully textured knit gives the cardigan dimension, while the subtle shaping through the shoulder adds interest without making the silhouette feel fussy. Large shell-style buttons finish the front and become part of the design. The cardigan is gently shaped rather than boxy, making it especially pretty over a traditional collared shirt.
Our customers also frequently notice the color variation created by Cut Loose's dye process—especially the way tones visible on the inside complement the textured exterior. It is the sort of detail you appreciate even more when you see the garment in person.

Then Choose Your Pant Shape
One of the things we like best about this combination is that it doesn't require one particular pant. The shirt and cardigan provide the texture and interest, which leaves you free to choose the silhouette that feels best on you.
For a narrower leg, pair the layers with the Taper Crop Pant in Linen Tencel. The pull-on style has a clean tapered shape and cropped length, giving the outfit a little more structure through the bottom. The linen-Tencel blend also gives you another subtle change in fabrication without competing with the textured top layers. Victoria Susan Wearable Art

Prefer a slightly wider, more relaxed leg? Try the Crop Pant with Darts. Its cotton-linen fabric, pull-on waist and straighter silhouette create an easy counterpoint to the more fitted shirt. The cropped length also draws attention to the ankle and makes it a fun choice with loafers, flats or a favorite casual shoe. Victoria Susan Wearable Art
The Beauty Is in the Mix
Beautiful textures. Easy layers.
A crisp collar peeking through a textured cardigan. A softly slubbed linen-cotton shirt against dimensional knit. Large buttons, subtle shoulder detail and garment-dyed colors that were designed to live comfortably beside one another.
Choose the pant shape you prefer, mix the colors, and make the outfit your own.
That, to us, is what makes Cut Loose so wearable: the pieces are simple enough for everyday, but there is always something interesting in the fabric, color or construction when you look a little closer.
