Evening Light
Evening dressing built out of daytime pieces. The blazer, the waistcoat and the black trousers all appear earlier in this wardrobe — what changes after dark is the shoe, the fabric and how much skin the neckline gives up.
The idea
The shortest route to evening is a change of fabric, not a change of wardrobe. Silk, satin and a heel do more than a whole second set of clothes.
Three of the four looks below use a garment that has already been to the office this week.
