Charcoal Cashmere Roll-neck, Navy Wool Trousers, Camel Wool Overcoat, Wine Heeled Boot, Silver Necklace. A formal combination for event in cold weather, with the lightest colour sitting closest to your face.
For an event, pick one hero piece and build around it: a single strong colour or texture, everything else support. Cold weather is about layers you can shed indoors: a knit under an overcoat does more for warmth and polish than one thicker piece. The women's read of this day is usually one considered piece with quieter support around it, rather than several competing ideas.
- Keep the hem and the shoes in the same tone.
- The innermost layer is the one people see; make it a good one.
- Choose one deliberate detail, a colour, a texture or a print, and keep the rest plain.
