Sophisticated Metis Favors
Fashion Quality and Value
Her story. Metis was a Titan. This race of gods came before the Olympians in Greek mythology. She helped her husband, Zeus, overthrow her father, Chronos. Zeus was not, however, grateful for her strategy and practical help. He tricked her into making herself small and swallowed her, to claim her wisdom as his own. Then, he married Hera. This is a familiar story for many first wives, writes Jean Bolen in Goddesses in Older Women). They help their husbands in practical ways to succeed in their careers. Then, they fade into the background. Sometimes, they are abandoned for a younger trophy wife. Fashion archetype: Metis is the kind of woman who plans her wardrobe.

Metis favors well-made clothing that will last more than one fashion season. Trousers that fit or figure-flattering dresses are solid wardrobe choices. Start with a neutral colored pants suit in a fabric that spans more than one season. If you can find and afford a matching skirt, it is worth the investment. Pair the pieces together and with other items. A white cotton shirt is a must. The challenge for this fashion archetype is to make sure that practicality does not become boring or dated.
