Sock Boots

Sleek, snug, straight to the ankle

A stretch shaft hugs the leg so there is no gap between hem and boot. The clean line makes a midi skirt look longer and disappears neatly under a trouser. Slip them on and skip the zip entirely.

Purple and Red Outfits: 4 Ways to Wear Them This Fall

Royal purple and cherry red stopped reading as a clash somewhere around New York Fashion Week. These four outfits pair the two shades, from a purple knit over a red pleated skirt to a red leather bomber with purple corduroy. Each look leaves room for black, brown and denim, so none of it feels like a costume.

Fauré Le Page Flagship Collection: From Paris With Love

An exclusive first look at the numbered Scale Canvas collection marking the opening of Fauré Le Page's flagship at 352 Rue Saint-Honoré, plus the heritage bags that built the house.

Birthday Dresses: The Little Black Dress, Pink, and One Loud Color

birthday dresses for women can swing from black minis to glinting sequins, soft pink, or a bright print. For birthday outfits, I would choose the dress after deciding whether the night calls for a quiet entrance or a little theater.

French Girl Outfits: Lace, Slips, and the Slingback After Dark

french girl outfits, from Calais lace to slip dresses, low heels, and a bag that can move from dinner into the late hours. I would start with one texture, then let the rest of the look stay calm.

Old Money Outfits: Polo Ties, Tweed, and the Preppy Past

old money outfits, from tweed and plaid to brown dresses, tailored coats, and everyday shoes, start with a good texture. I like the look when it feels personal rather than costume-like.

Casual Outfits: The 1990s Uniform, Reworked for Real Life

casual outfits pull from straight denim, a bomber or short jacket, a polo, and flat shoes, with an easy 1990s point of view. I would start with the proportions, then let one accessory bring the look into focus.

Fall Tops: A Sailor Stripe, a Chocolate Tee, and a Cardigan

fall tops move from chocolate shades and rugby stripes to turtlenecks, cardigans, and lace layers. I would choose one by color, neckline, and how it layers under a coat.
