Tokyo Transfer

Your day is a sequence of temperatures and you have solved each one separately: cold platform, warm carriage, overheated office, cold street at eleven. So you wear four thin things rather than one thick one, keep both hands free, and carry the outer layer more often than you wear it. Nothing you own is heavy and everything works with everything.

The bit that stings: the system is so good it has become a uniform, and you cannot remember the last time your own reflection surprised you. You are dressed correctly every single day, which is a lower ceiling than dressed well. Correct is where taste goes to be safe.

One garment with an opinion. That is the whole prescription.
