The Knit Sweaters Edit
The knit sweaters edit is about deciding where softness earns its space. A good sweater should be warm enough to matter, shaped enough to keep an outfit from collapsing, and easy enough to wear without a long explanation. I look first at the neckline and the proportion, then at w

Utility Maxi Dresses and How to Wear Them
The short answer on utility maxi dresses and how to wear them: pick one anchor piece, keep the palette to two colours, and let the shoes decide how formal the whole thing reads. One piece should lead and the rest should stay quiet; two competing pieces read as an accident.

Best Black Tie Gowns
Black tie gowns come down to proportion, fabric and a back view that holds up in a room. I sort these by silk and satin, tulle and chiffon, and sleeveless shapes, then finish with the sequins and statement pieces.

Classy Homecoming Dresses, Decoded
Classy homecoming dresses come down to proportion more than any single design detail, and the look is easier to put together than it first appears. A dress has to work for photos, a group and hours of actually moving in it, and this edit sorts the dresses that manage all three.

The Tops Edit: Tees, Shirts, Knits, Corsets And Evening Tops
A good top does more work than almost anything else in a wardrobe, because it is the piece people actually see across a table. This edit covers the five kinds I reach for: a proper tee, a shirt with some character, a knit, a corset or bustier, and a top for the evening.
