Learn how to pair the Soho Tee with the Ribbed-Knit Beanie for a casual coffee shop look that's comfortable, sustainable, and effortlessly cool.
Quick Answer
For a cozy coffee run, pair the Soho Tee with the Ribbed-Knit Beanie in complementary tones—think Khaki beanie with Espresso tee—and let the beanie's cuff style define your look.
Why These Two Pieces Work Together
The Soho Tee is a clean, unisex organic cotton crew neck that acts as a blank canvas, while the Ribbed-Knit Beanie adds texture and warmth without overwhelming the outfit. Together, they strike the right balance between laid-back comfort and intentional style—perfect for a coffee shop visit or a slow weekend morning.
Color Pairing Without Overthinking
Both pieces come in earthy tones that naturally complement each other. If you wear the Espresso beanie, pair it with a lighter tee or layer under a denim jacket. If you choose the Khaki beanie, the Espresso tee creates a warm contrast that feels grounded and seasonally appropriate.
The Beanie Cuff Is Your Styling Lever
The Ribbed-Knit Beanie is designed to be cuffed once or twice, and that choice changes your whole silhouette. A single cuff gives a relaxed, slouchy vibe; a double cuff creates a neater, more fitted look. Match the cuff to the occasion—casual meetup vs. a more polished coffee date.
5 Steps to Style Your Coffee Shop Look
- Start with the Soho Tee as your base: Choose the Soho Tee in your usual size—it's unisex and pre-washed, so it fits true to size. Tuck it in or leave it loose depending on your pants. Check the size chart before ordering; pre-washed means minimal shrinkage.
- Pick your beanie color based on your tee: If your tee is neutral (white, grey, or black), go with Espresso for contrast. If your tee is darker, choose Khaki to brighten the upper half. Hold the beanie against the tee in natural light before committing.
- Decide on the cuff style: Cuff once for a slouchy, relaxed look; cuff twice for a snug, structured fit. The double cuff also keeps your ears warmer on chilly days. Try both cuffs and see which one frames your face better.
- Layer for the season: In autumn, layer a denim or chore jacket over the tee. In winter, add a wool coat or puffer. Keep the beanie as the top layer accessory. Avoid bulky scarves that compete with the beanie for attention.
- Finish with coffee-appropriate accessories: Carry a reusable tote or a simple crossbody bag. Keep jewelry minimal—a watch or thin necklace is enough. The goal is effortless, not overdone.
The Pieces That Make the Look
- The Ribbed-Knit Beanie: The Ribbed-Knit Beanie is made from 50% Recycled Acrylic / 50% Acrylic and is Fair Trade Certified, available in Espresso and Khaki. You get a warm, durable beanie that supports ethical production, and the two earthy shades make it easy to match with your existing wardrobe.
The Ribbed-Knit Beanie - The Soho Tee: The Soho Tee is 100% organic cotton with a unisex fit and pre-washed for lasting shape. It's a versatile, sustainable basic that holds its shape wash after wash, so you can rely on it as a core piece for coffee shop outfits.
