Q & A's
What eveningwear pieces are considered classics?

There are five clothing items we consider to be must-haves in the eveningwear section of a wardrobe: a luxe pantsuit, a metallic cocktail dress, a floor-length evening gown, a body-skimming maxi skirt and of course, a little black dress. Tastefully done, these items will not only bring you from dinner party to black tie event, but will also last for seasons, if not years, to come. Keep these classic pieces feeling new with updated shoes and accessories and remember to select items that fit well over those that are overly trendy.

How do I combine patterns?

Patterns of a similar palette in varying complementary designs will keep your look easy on the eye. Try a Fair Isle sweater with Glen plaid suiting for a rich look in town or country, and look for Nordic-inspired motifs on chunky sweaters that add a graphic twist to traditional tartans. Pattern combinations should vary in size and style for the best mix—blend intricate patterns (like a Fair Isle or floral) with graphic designs like plaids or stripes.

What are some stylish ways to wear tall or over-the-knee boots?

A tall boot — whether it reaches just under the knee or goes over top — is a great component of your wardrobe. Choose either a flat or heeled style rendered in luxurious leather for a dramatic, sleek statement. During the day, wear a tall boot with a pair of cashmere leggings or skinny trousers for a high-fashion feel, or with wool hosiery and a tweed skirt for a multi-textural approach. For evening, wear a tall boot with a sophisticated cashmere dress or a pair of chic silk trousers for a look that makes a statement while still being refined. No matter the occasion, remember to keep your outfit simple and elegant in order to showcase this statement-making accessory.
