Finland's hockey team is quarantined. Swiss athletes are self-isolating. The Olympic Village smells like hand sanitizer and broken dreams. You still have a reservation at a trattoria in Cortina tonight. The dress code has been issued.
THE DIRECTIVE
The Claire Faux Leather Trench ($109) is the foundation. Italian leather. Italian Olympics. The symmetry is not accidental. Pair with white leather loafers ($35) — you are in Milan, not a hospital, though the distinction is narrowing by the hour.
The structured clutch ($29) carries your passport and your lateral flow tests. The gold layered chain ($10) communicates that you came here to watch sports, not to become a biohazard statistic.
The Andes Chemical Protection Hazmat Coverall ($14) is worn open over the trench like a duster. Sleeves pushed to the elbows. Hood draped back as a cowl neckline. It is not PPE. It is outerwear. Do not correct anyone who disagrees.
THE RULING
Five pieces. $197 total. The hazmat coverall is the editorial response. Yellow is the color of the season in Milan — coincidentally. No substitutions.
