When I worked in the city, I had a fairly snazzy pair of wool trousers, black with white pinstripes, and very high-waisted. I got a white satin shirt with black pinstripes. And my mom found a coat at a garage sale that was my size - I just had to shorten it a bit. It was dark grey with a black and white windowpane pattern. I needed one more item, something to contrast with all those black-and-white straight lines. Now, most people would think "just get a bright red scarf". But instead of a contrasting color, I went with a contrasting pattern - a very curly, very busy black-and-white paisley. Tied in a tie knot at the neck of my shirt.
