The Dinner Invite That Lands Just Before Five
Some days the invite arrives while you are still at your desk, and there is no time to go home first. These three pieces cover both ends of that day: stretch trousers, a lightweight turtleneck knit and a kitten heel slingback. They fit a rail with limited room.
-
The trousers for a long Tuesday that starts at eight
The base of the set. A regular fit with a mid rise, a 9.75 inch rise measured on a size 10 medium, and a waistband that does not bind. The fabric is 49% cotton, 47% polyester and 4% spandex, with front slant pockets and back welt pockets. Inseams run 30, 32 and 34 inches.
-
The turtleneck sweater for the first cold walk to work
The knit that sits on top. It is a regular fit turtleneck in a blend of 6% wool, 20% nylon, 35% acrylic and 39% polyester, with medium stretch, thickness and softness. Care is machine wash cold, gently, with like colors, and no bleach or iron. Colors may look slightly different on screen.
-
The kitten heels for the Saturday you finally dress up
The finish. A pointed toe slingback with a 2.75 inch mid heel and an adjustable buckle strap. The upper is faux leather and the sole is synthetic. Care is hand wash in cold water. Sizes run from 5 to 11, with half sizes up to 10. How high a heel feels right for a full workday is a matter of taste.
