Planning outfits for a short work trip

[Norasa]

A short work trip has me planning several meeting outfits that need to fit into a single carry on bag. The pieces I want to reuse are a grey jacket, navy trousers and comfortable shoes rather than several complete outfits. Choosing a few interchangeable tops is harder than expected, especially when I also want each outfit to feel different. I have been reading about color analysis but I would rather test combinations with my actual clothes than buy everything in a suggested seasonal palette. Would you choose one lighter top and one deeper shade, or keep all the tops close in tone? There is also an informal dinner, and I would like to use the same jacket without looking dressed for another meeting. Which two changes would you make first if you were packing around these pieces with very little room to spare?
