Start with one silhouette
Choose the trouser, jean, or skirt shape you trust most, then build the rest of the packing list around its proportion.
Let every layer work twice
A shirt can be a first layer or a light jacket. A fine knit can sit under tailoring or over a dress. Repeat use is the point.
Keep the finish intentional
One polished bag, one comfortable shoe, and a small piece of jewelry can make a limited wardrobe feel considered rather than sparse.
