Navy Shirt Dress, Wine Wrap Coat, Chocolate Heeled Boot, Rose Silk Scarf, Camel Leather Tote. A smart combination for first day at work in temperate weather, with the lightest colour sitting closest to your face.
Your first day sets the read. Dress one notch above the office norm, because you can always relax afterwards and never the reverse. Mild weather is forgiving: a light layer that comes on and off is usually all you need. The women's read of this day is usually one considered piece with quieter support around it, rather than several competing ideas.
- Meet or slightly beat what the team wears in public.
- Carry a layer for the evening drop.
- Choose one deliberate detail, a colour, a texture or a print, and keep the rest plain.
