How to Build a Simple Work Wardrobe
A small set of pieces that all go together gives you more outfits than a full closet of one-offs.
The core
- Two or three button-up shirts in white, blue and one color you like.
- Two pairs of trousers: one tailored, one wide-leg or palazzo.
- Two simple tops to wear under a blazer.
- One knit or cardigan for cold offices.
