- You want the jacket to be shrunken yet not seem like it's too small: Choose ones that are nipped thought the waist but have a regular shoulder width and sleeves that hit past the wrist.
- Dark, lean trousers—pairs with a little stretch are the most flattering—and sturdy ankle boots give this look the perfect dose of toughness: For the right proportion, there should be a few inches between the pants and the boots.
- A loose tee or tank offsets the tailored jacket and pants. Tuck it in and blouse it out a bit, so it's just billowy enough.
