ReadA simple outfit of good basics is a strong starting point, and a few well-chosen accessories can take it from plain to polished in a minute. The trick is restraint and intention.
ReadAn outfit built around one colour looks pulled-together with very little effort, and it flatters by drawing a long, unbroken line. The interest comes not from contrast but from tone and texture.
ReadOn a busy morning, the last thing you want is to invent an outfit from scratch. A reliable work formula, built from a few interchangeable pieces, lets you look capable without deliberating.
