Work rewards quiet competence: two tones, clean lines, one deliberate detail. Keep it consistent so you are not thinking about your clothes when you should be thinking about the meeting. 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.
- Match your belt and shoes in 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.
