I considered the suit, but unless your work environment is particularly conservative, the majority of your wardrobe, if chosen wisely, should suffice for all but the most casual and formal situations. In my mind, The Refined Blazer is a structured and tailored layer, rather than a top or outerwear, though I personally prefer the softness of The Soigné Cardigan for my layering needs (I have a pinstriped cream blazer, almost tux-like, from Stella McCartney, but if I ever find a softer, fluid tweed in sea blue, I'll add that too).
When it comes to pairings, it can be tricky. The Fancy Trouser nearly always works, but many can be dressed down with The Blue Jean. The classics, like the top two examples, fare better with a pencil skirt, but a prep-school jacket (lower left) is nicer with an a-line (like a pleated skirt). With dresses, something boyish is best, which is why I have included one in leather (lower right, a denim jacket would work too).
