    and then for tights underneath. White and/or black:



    for sweater on top:

    what do you guys think of just a plain long sleeve cashmere sweater underneath? tucked in or untucked?

    Emphatically *Yes*. Tucked in is good. Outside, belted is also good.

    oo good call.

    I love that a forum full of men are giving me better fashion advice than I could expect from a forum full of women.

    JCREW has a good shell that is a great length to wear. It doesn't need to be tucked in.

    Almost all of my socks are from them. The products are not cheap, but of really good quality. You can wear them for years.
