Today, Styled by KDG’s traveling circus features what to wear when you will be sitting in day two of an 8 hour planning meeting then running to the airport to catch a plane and arriving in Austin, Texas at 11pm (Texas time) for a site visit.

There is comfort food. Comfy pajamas.

And now I bring you the stealth-comfort business meeting outfit. The key is to have a bit of spandex (read: stretch) in each item of clothing to minimize the appearance of wrinkles, neutral colors to camouflage spills and ink stains (sigh), and slight texturing to promote crispness (i.e., not advertise that you’ll be slumped in a seat somewhere for over 12 hours today).

The clothes:

Textured chevron black on black pants – Classiques Entier (Nordstrom); White button down – Banana Republic; Nubby cream motorcycle style jacket – Anthropologie; Brown snakeskin peep-toe slingbacks – Amalfi.

The accessories: Blue Linked Leaves choker – ASOS; Gold vintage bracelet; Shah & Shah gold cage hoop earrings; Small rose gold watch – Skagen; Right hand rings: Gold Mount Holyoke College signet ring, Gold antique family ring, Schwarzchild’s gold knot ring (gift from godmother).
