Elevated Classic Capsule for NYC Fashion Conference

As your stylist, preparing for a business trip demands a wardrobe that speaks confidence, sophistication, and adaptability. For your upcoming business trip to NYC for a fashion conference in early November, we'll craft a 7-day capsule focusing on an 'Elevated Classic' aesthetic, incorporating 'Textured Neutrals & Tailoring'. We'll build this around 10 core, highly versatile pieces (excluding shoes and accessories).

The 10 Core Pieces:

1. Camel Wool Blend Blazer: A structured, versatile layering piece that instantly elevates any look. (Tailoring, Neutral)

2. Black Tailored Trousers: A timeless base pant in a flattering cut. (Classic, Tailoring)

3. Cream Silk Blouse: A luxurious, soft-textured top perfect for dressing up or down. (Texture, Elevated)

4. Charcoal Grey Cashmere Turtleneck: Provides warmth and texture with a touch of quiet luxury. (Texture, Neutral, Elevated)

5. White Crisp Cotton Button-Down Shirt: A foundational layering piece offering sharp structure. (Classic)

6. Navy A-Line Midi Skirt: A universally flattering silhouette offering a polished alternative to trousers. (Classic, Versatile)

7. Ivory Ribbed Knit Sweater: Adds texture and comfortable warmth, easy for layering. (Texture, Neutral)

8. Dark Wash Straight Leg Jeans: A refined denim option for casual conference moments or weekend exploring. (Texture, Versatile)

9. Bordeaux Tailored Knit Midi Dress: A rich, textured dress that transitions easily from day meetings to evening events. (Texture, Elevated, Versatile)

10. Black Fine Knit V-Neck Cardigan: A lightweight layering piece that can be worn open or buttoned as a top. (Texture, Layering)

(Note: An essential addition for NYC in November would be a sophisticated coat - perhaps a classic trench or a full-length wool coat in a coordinating neutral - worn over these outfits.)
