I'm most comfortable in trousers - skinny jeans and cigarette pants mostly.
My dilemma is if I want to be a bit smarter, I often wear a silk (or just naice) shirt, but I don't have any jackets - so my options are either to just go in a shirt (and coat), or to wear a cardi or sweater over the top. (Day to day I quite like the sweater-over-shirt look because I'm drawn to the librarian aesthetic like a moth to a flame - but sometimes it feels a bit... too woolly.)
So I need some jackets - a black one and a navy one, to be precise. I don't want to buy in Zara or whatever because I've done that before and they're all creased and shabby before you know it - so I'm prepared to pay more. But these are unchartered sartorial waters for me. I don't want to look like a 1980s office worker, but I'm unsure of the critical nuances. Can you help steer me in the right direction? (Please).
