Save a reference that shows the detail clearly, then adapt the proportions, colors or level of polish to your own setting.

This version of 6. dark denim + knit gives the original idea a more specific direction.

Start with the main shape or color, then adjust the supporting pieces instead of changing everything at once.

The useful part is the decision behind the look: what creates the silhouette, where the eye goes first, and which detail can be simplified when you recreate it. Save the reference as a starting point and adapt the finish to the setting, season and amount of time you actually have.
