The Week Your One Wardrobe Rail Starts to Make Sense

The Week Your One Wardrobe Rail Starts to Make Sense

When you have one rail and a small budget, every piece has to work with the others. This set is four of them: a V neck knit, high rise wide leg jeans, tall block heel boots and a long wool blend coat. They are for anyone building a base to mix all season.

  1. The V neck sweater for the first chilly morning commute

    The knit does the most work in this set. It is a regular fit V neck pullover with ribbed cuffs and hem, made from 38% polyester, 30% PBT, 20% acrylic and 12% nylon. Stretch, thickness and softness are all listed as medium, and it should be washed cold and dried flat.

  2. The tall boots for the walk from the bus to your door

    The boots give the set its height without a steep heel. The heel is 2 inches, the shaft measures 15 inches, and an inside half zipper makes them easier to put on. The upper is 100% synthetic with a textile lining, and regular or wide calf sizes are offered.

  3. The long coat for the walk to the bus stop in October

    The coat sits over the other three and ends below the knee. It has a notch lapel, a double breasted front and side pockets, and the fabric is 85% polyester and 15% wool with a 100% polyester lining. Sizes are standard American, so choose your usual one.

  4. The wide leg jeans for a Saturday of errands and nowhere to be

    The jeans are the middle of the set, high rise with a relaxed wide leg through the thigh. You can pick a 28 inch inseam or a 30.5 inch inseam, so check the length against your boots. The denim is 70.3% cotton, 28.1% polyester and 1.6% spandex, with pockets and a button closure.
