Mixing Bold Prints


For Real Life

The hits of common color—gray, black—keep the pieces from fighting with each other: The results are dramatic enough that all the jewelry you need is a single chunky cuff.

Metallic and Menswear Gray


For Real Life

The consertive tie-neck blouse becomes über-playful in this glinty material—flat-front trousers anchor it, while a thin belt and a cocktail ring reinforce the girly/edgy mood.

Since the finish of these blouses makes such a statement, choose ones that are fairly unfussy in construction; for pants, go as minimal as possible, with classic cuts in cool, suit-ish hues.
