When you’ve established yourself as a woman of poise
When you need to establish yourself as a woman of poise
When you’re desperate and will try anything, including draped neutrals
When draped neutrals genuinely delight you
For a friend’s book launch
For a competitor’s book launch
To add that extra “I’m doing fine, thanks” to a family get-together
When you don’t mind looking like drapes
When you’re liberated by looking like drapes
When suddenly it seems to you that everything would be better in taupe
When you’re tired of having a shape
When you’re invited to a “Brown, Beige, Black, and Taupe” party
When you must travel by night disguised as a rhombus
For a funeral
To add a funereal touch to a competitor’s wedding
For your wedding to a former competitor who is wearing matching Eileen Fisher
