As this may not be easy to find, you can also opt for a long-sleeved shirt and black sweater and a skirt of the same color. Your shoes must also be black, it's best if you choose oxford-style black shoes, or at least smart shoes.

Sometimes, Wednesday also uses flowered long-sleeved dresses. If you have one you can also use it, but make sure the color of the dress is dark too.
