Mesh Tops and Dresses: Edgy Going Out Looks

Mesh tops and dresses bring a sheer layer into the wardrobe while keeping the shapes varied. I found Commando's Chic Mesh Long Sleeve Tee, Good American's Mesh Twist Maxi Dress, Michael Lauren's Danton Rib Mesh Corset Top, and an On The Dot Layering Top from Free People for styling ideas that range from fitted to fluid.

Dressing for the Holiday Party Circuit

The holiday party has stopped being one night and turned into a six-week circuit of office drinks, family dinners and the one invitation that actually says black tie. Dressing for it now means a few pieces that can be worn three different ways rather than a single dress bought in a panic. This is the wardrobe for the whole run of it, from the long gown to the shoe you can still stand in at midnight.

Rag & Bone and the New York Uniform for Fall

rag & bone started in New York in 2002 when Marcus Wainwright set out to make a great pair of jeans in a Kentucky workwear factory, and the brand has dressed downtown ever since. Its formula of American workwear cut with British tailoring is having a quiet resurgence as people tire of fast trends. This is the fall rag & bone wardrobe, from the boot to the blazer.

Dressing for the Real Cold

The first properly cold week of the year always reveals who planned ahead and who is still wearing a trench in a wind chill. This season the answer is shearling, long wool coats and boots that actually reach the knee, worn with a little more polish than pure practicality would demand. These are the pieces that make winter something to dress for rather than endure.

Oscar de la Renta Arrives in Full Bloom

Oscar de la Renta is in a rare moment of transition, with Fernando Garcia and Laura Kim having stepped away to focus on Monse. What the house is shipping now is the garden it has always loved, rendered in watercolor iris prints, guipure lace and crystal flowers. This is the newest Oscar de la Renta, gathered in one place for anyone who likes their florals with a little ceremony.

Evening Glamour Goes Full Fantasy

Evening dressing has drifted away from the safe little black dress and toward something closer to costume. Feathers, fringe, leopard and crystal are back in serious rotation, worn with a straight face. This edit gathers the most fantastical pieces of the season for anyone ready to stop being sensible after dark.
