The Trick to Dressing with Intention

In partnership with our friends at

In the spirit of making better choices, there are certain decisions that we can make to tease the most out of a wardrobe. It’s not about investing more; it’s about investing smart. Look for pieces that lean on proportion play (an exaggerated silhouette here, a contoured shape there), texture (the more surprising, the better), and graphically charged throwbacks (because everything old is new again!). Plus, a certain color-blocked crossbody bag to round it all out.
