WHY IT WORKS
Khaite Mesh Wedge (black, sheer mesh, architectural wedge) grounds the cool blue dress and provides visual weight. The wedge gives the maxi the lift it needs. Khaite Balser Cardigan (cream, chunky cable-rib knit, cropped, antique gold lion-head buttons) sits at or above the waist. The cream bridges cool blue and provides tonal richness. The gold lion buttons are the single hardware moment. Three distinct elements unified by restrained execution and clear hierarchy — dress leads, cardigan and shoe support.
