Some late winter/early spring looks I have been trying to rock
This is a few of the outfits I have put together in the last few days. I'm trying to keep to a fairly tight capsule mindset to avoid having too many clothes cluttering up my room, and having to spend too much time thinking about what to wear. What do you guys this of these combos, are any of them stylish looking and what could be done to improve? I think they all pretty well fit my style which is relaxed but decent-quality and looking like I've put a bit of thought into colours, textures etc. Any feedbacks?
My capsule (more or less, I switch a few items out in the outfits I posted when I had something I thought would look better!)
Tops - Blue cotton popover shirt (Polo RL), white cotton shawl-neck cardigan (Folk)
Shirts - red/black flannel (Uniqlo), green long-sleeve polo (Polo RL), light blue chambray shirt (Gitman vintage)
T-Shirts - Plain white crew neck (Uniqlo U), Plain light green t-shirt (Uniqlo U), Green/Ecru striped T-shirt (Folk)
Trousers - Olive fatigue pants (Stan Ray), Blue jeans (Levi 501), white wide-leg jeans (Uniqlo).
Coats are not pictured but I think I can wear my Barbour Beacon, my vintage Aquascutum charcoal raglan-sleeve overcoat or my PWVC moleskin bomber jacket with most of these combos.
For shoes I think just about all of these combos work with either my C&J Sydney rubber-soled loafers or my Hoff trainers.

The first sneakers fit is great! I think the sneakers would also be great in the first fit.
C&J Sydney loafers are solid but I'm not really feeling them in most of these fits personally and I'm not entirely sure why.
I think there's good bones here but some of the details are letting you down. For my personal style I'd probably raw hem those jeans and in general make sure the cuffs are cleaner (first sneaker fit is a good example of cuffs, the last fit needs them fixed for example).
I think the tucks are also letting you down in a similar way. The shirt tuck in the first fit and the sneaker fit in your kitchen look nice but just smoothing our the front and adding a little slack to the tucks in the other fits would help a lot to give the relaxed vibes you're often going for.
Great ideas, thanks!
