Mid-Rise Wide-Leg Italian Lightweight Wool Pant (Black)
Hemmed to graze the top of a loafer, these do the quiet work of making everything above them look intentional.

Goldie 100% Cashmere Sweater (Black)
Wide ribbed neckline, easy body, honest price. Half-tuck it into camel trousers and you are done.
Banana Republic
Lightweight Cashmere Crew-Neck Sweater (Black)
The sweater I reach for before I have decided what the day is. Tucked into wool trousers it reads as work; untucked over denim it reads as Saturday.
Banana Republic
Slim Italian Wool Blazer (Black)
One button, notch lapel, no tricks. Worn over a silk camisole it carries dinner; over a turtleneck it carries the nine o'clock meeting.
Banana Republic
Slim Italian Lightweight Wool Blazer (Camel)
Camel over black is the oldest trick I know and it still works. Keep everything under it dark and let the jacket do the talking.
Banana Republic
Italian Leather Loafer (Black)
A plain black loafer ends most arguments about shoes. Bare ankle in spring, fine black sock in winter, nothing in between.
Banana Republic
Wool-Cashmere Wrap Coat (Black)
Belted, it is a dress. Open, it is a column. Either way it is the last thing you put on and the first thing anyone notices.
By Anthropologie
Arena Wool Blend Fitted Turtleneck Top (Tan)
The base layer under nearly every camel look I build. Slim enough to sit under a blazer without a ridge.
Maeve
Maeve Markie 100% Cashmere Sweater (Black)
Heavier than it looks, which is the point. With a satin skirt and the loafers it is the evening outfit that does not try.

Ellena HueAbout
I am Sloane. I dress in three colors and I have not regretted it once. Black for the evening, ivory for the office, camel for the hours in between. That is the whole system. Most of what I own fits in one closet with room to spare, and most mornings take four minutes. I do not chase seasons. I buy a good coat, a good trouser, a good loafer, and I wear them until they give out. Then I replace them with something nearly identical. The pieces here are the ones that survived that process. Everything I link I would carry home myself. Some of it I already have. Links may earn a small commission, which keeps the lights on and the coffee black. Take what you need. Leave the rest.
