The Backless Shoe Argument
The best mules are the shoes you can put on quickly without looking as though you gave up. This is a guide to leather mules, platforms, wedges, flat soles, and suede shapes that bring a little structure to an otherwise simple outfit. My rule is to judge the shoe by what keeps it
The Knee High Boots To Buy This Fall
A cardigan as a top is either a real choice or it looks borrowed from someone's closet. The difference is not the cardigan itself, but what sits underneath it and what you pair it with in the overall outfit.
What a Scottish knitwear label actually means, from the mill towns to the finishing, and how to tell it from marketing.
The Suede Bags Worth The Investment
The Row Logo, briefly: it is a house signature that has been redrawn several times, and most of what people recognise is the proportion rather than the mark itself. The short version usually matters less than how the thing is used now.
