In the year of school I am now in, we have to wear business suits. We can accessorize them a bit and have individuality as to exactly which shirts/blazers etc we buy, but they still have to be quite smart. My usual style is a mixture of Gothic Lolita, Victorian-style goth, and a style similar to that of the singer Emilie Autumn. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can jazz up my suit into my style, while still being quite smart and formal?

I work in a company in Tokyo, and that usually entails having to wear a business suit to office everyday.

Now, I came from a tropical country, so I’m not entirely sure what to do with the upcoming cold. Should I wear a coat over my business suit? Trench coat? Gloves? Scarf? Boots? Knee-length socks? Can I stack a multitude of garments under and over my business suit?

Although I’m not sure how cold it’s going to be. But last year, it snowed here. But not every year. Meaning it’s hovering around freezing point, give or take a couple of degrees.

That’s still very very cold for a tropical archipelago country person that I am. Autumn has just started to crawl over the country and I’m already shivering. What more when winter starts to take over right?

Oh, and I’m guessing they’ll heat the office. Right now it’s mild and very un-Autumn-ish at my workplace. Sometimes it gets hot even. While people are puffing mist outside.

That’s the gist of it. I can take cold temps, as I sleep with the air conditioner blowing on my head back at my home country. But I’m worried once I get outside.
