Jeans
My go-to straight leg — high rise, holds its shape, no waist gap drama. Throw on a bodysuit and a loafer and you're out the door.

The wide leg is the silhouette you want if you're tall. Light wash keeps it casual, high rise does the waist work. Pair with the black blazer and a bodysuit — done.

This one lives under a blazer or layered under a coat. Keeps the top half sleek without thinking about it.

COS | RIBBED COTTON TANK TOP
Built-in sculpting. This is the bodysuit you need with a larger bust. Pairs with the wide-leg jeans or the herringbone trouser.

Dresses
Wear it over the turtleneck for a model off-duty look, or solo with the biker jacket. A layering piece as much as a standalone.
H&M | Women's Black Textured Slip Dress

WEEKDAY | Long-Sleeved Mini Wrap Shirt Dress
lean, minimal, endlessly wearable. Layer the blazer over it when you want structure.

Pants
A herringbone flare trouser that does all the styling for you. Tall cut hits right, the flare elongates the leg. Pair with a fitted turtleneck and you're set.

The black wide-leg trouser is non-negotiable in a capsule. Dress it up or wear it with a tank and sneakers — works both ways. Tall cut means no awkward ankle crop.
