The October 1948 issue of Woman and Beauty had a little fold-out section containing two suggested wardrobes. (Drawings were by Francis Marshall, photograph by John French.)
First, a hat (to be worn with both outfits).
Second, coats to go over the outfits. On the left, a "big topper" to be worn by women who like colour and mostly wear suits. On the right, a belted coat for women who like wearing black dresses.
Next—on the left, a suit by Harella to be worn under the big topper. On the right, a dress by Frederick Starke to be worn underneath the belted coat.
Next, a change of clothing. On the left, a "jumper suit" made out of grey jersey to go under the red topper. On the right, a shirtwaist "that is always perfect for the office" to go under the belted coat.
And lastly a raincoat and fur-lined boots for those cold wet days!
