Put on the white collared dress shirt and button it to the top.
- 2
Layer the grey high-neck waistcoat or vest directly over the white shirt.
- 3
Put on the black slim-fit trousers and secure them with a simple black belt.
- 4
Tuck the trousers into the pointed-toe black ankle boots.
- 5
Slip on the long black high-collared tailcoat, leaving it unbuttoned to show the vest.

Makeup & hair
Style your hair into messy, wavy black curls with long bangs that frame your face and partially cover your eyes. If using makeup, apply a light foundation and a touch of dark eyeliner around the eyes so they pop behind the mask.
