Wardrobe study — excerpt
Marc, 41 — broad shoulders, mostly meetings and travel.
Written from his answers, his saved pieces and his preferred shops. Yours would be written the same way.
Your season plan, in three moves
Now
Fix the two pieces doing the most damage before adding anything new.
- — Have the grey suit trouser taken in at the waist.
- — Retire the boxy navy blazer — donate or sell it.
Within a month
Build the travel capsule around the coat you already own.
- — One merino crewneck, charcoal.
- — One pair of leather derbies, dark brown.
Before the season turns
Close the gap between office and dinner without buying twice.
- — One unstructured navy blazer.
- — One white oxford shirt, slightly heavier cloth.
One of the six looks
Work, travel day
Tuesday, back-to-back meetings
- — Charcoal merino crewneck
- — Grey wool trouser, tailored to sit at the waist
- — Dark brown leather derby
- — Camel overcoat, carried rather than worn indoors
Nothing here needs a second thought at a departure gate — that is the point of writing it down once.
Tailoring and care
- — Have every trouser hemmed to break once, not twice, over the shoe.
- — Cedar blocks in the leather shoes between wears — not the radiator.
- — The navy blazer goes to the tailor before it goes in a bag again.
- — Cashmere folds, it never hangs.
Or see how it applies to a real day
