Rules at work

The reasoning

Why it works

Powder blue and navy share a family but remain clearly separated by depth. Beige shoes keep the lower edge quiet, while a navy tote repeats the trousers. Keep accessories small to preserve the calm effect.

Wear it to

Work, a daytime appointment or a smart-casual lunch.

Avoid

A third bright blue. Two distinct blue shades are enough.
