Outside of plaid and perhaps pin dots, pattern tends to be an all or nothing affair in a wardrobe. You’re either fully on board, loud and proud, or you steer clear and stick to solids. But regardless of camp, I’d argue there’s always room for a piece or two of understated sashiko in the closet, especially a blue-on-blue version like we have here from Livid Jeans. This one’s anything but loud, yet it still adds a subtle complexity to your outfit, especially when layered. And sashiko being sashiko, you get the added benefit of texture.
