FW 2025 doubled down on disciplined monochrome—especially gray—punctuated by shine. In this Outfit Memo, we translate that runway logic into real workwear: four tonal looks built on structure, softness, and controlled gleam. Each one refines power dressing into something quieter—confidence that doesn’t need contrast.

If you thought that oversized bow was best left to the runway, we’ll make you reconsider. Inspired by Chanel’s Look #10 (FW 2025), we distilled the bow-and-single-breasted-longline-blazer pairing to its most striking elements, translating them into deceptively simple — yet quietly potent — work looks. Entirely wearable, each reimagines the power of precision using pieces you likely already own.
