On the feet: Boots.
Less on, better chosen - the look is designed to be finished, not filled.
☀️ Comfort through the day
The comfort mark is HIGH - comfortable from the first hour to the last.
In India, shoes come off at religious sites through the day - worth building the look around.
The weather gap between morning and evening is best solved by a layer, not by a second outfit.
