A Few Styling Tips to Make These Work Harder
You don’t need nine separate outfits worth of new pieces to pull this off. Most of these looks share the same core items — a camel blazer, a wool coat, tailored trousers, a few good knits — just restyled.
Start by identifying which one or two of these pieces you’re missing, and build from there instead of trying to buy everything at once.
Fit matters more than the piece itself. A slightly oversized camel blazer looks intentional; one that’s too big just looks borrowed.
