In-Person Office Days
Last season's strong-shoulder suits were an overcorrect. Go for flowy, wide-leg pants, a silk top, and a turtleneck underlayer that's always a classic. Tie? Optional!

A Meetup in the City
For a museum or matinee, combine a trim blazer with a full skirt and a graphic sweater (the preppier the better!) for a look that's smart but fun. Bonus points for power-clashing plaids.

A Dressy Dinner Out
Sparkle is everywhere right now-and not just a hint of it. Another trend: dresses worn as skirts! So pair a sequined sweater with a skirt or slip dress (try silk for extra coverage). Add metallic shoes and dangly earrings, because more is more here.
