Curated Looks
Business Casual
Camel Indigo and Belt
A camel coat over dark indigo jeans cinched with a black leather belt gives structure on a cool clear day. Black ankle boots are the straightforward finish.
Chic
Burgundy Quilted Combat
A burgundy quilted jacket over a black crewneck and cream maxi skirt is sharper than the forecast demands on a cool clear day. Black combat boots and a burgundy scarf land the look.
Sporty
Fleece and Burgundy Boots
A black fleece zip-up over a long-sleeve athletic top and fleece leggings on a cool clear day is the sporty base that works. Burgundy ankle boots break the monochrome with one precise hit of colour.
Casual
Vest and Joggers
An olive puffer vest over a plaid flannel and grey joggers is the cool-clear casual combination that still looks considered. Black knee-high boots with joggers is the part that shouldn't work — but does.
Cozy
Teddy and the Crewneck
A cream teddy coat over a black crewneck and fleece-lined leggings is warm without being heavy. A grey knit scarf worn loose over the coat is the only accessory it needs.
Formal
Grey Coat Brown Formal
A grey longline coat worn over camel trousers and a black turtleneck on a cool clear day earns its occasion. Brown leather ankle boots add warmth without disrupting the clean lines.
