Pikora style guide · Second-hand
Second-hand outfits for work
In short: Three second-hand work outfits — a wool blazer with tailored trousers; a pleated midi skirt with a cardigan and loafers; a long wool coat over a knit and wide-leg trousers. The pieces that hold their shape for years are exactly the ones worth buying second-hand: wool, leather and good tailoring.
The blazer outfit
Office days, presentations
A second-hand wool blazer with tailored trousers, a fine knit and loafers. Wool blends keep their shape, so a pre-loved blazer often looks better than a new cheap one.
The skirt outfit
Everyday office, smart-casual
A pleated or straight midi skirt with a long cardigan and polished loafers. Black or brown keeps it easy; a camel knit warms it up.
The coat outfit
Commutes, colder days
A long wool coat over a crew-neck knit and wide-leg trousers, with a structured leather tote. The coat does the work, so everything under it can be simple.
Buy the pieces that last second-hand: wool coats, blazers, leather shoes and bags.
