CELINE Eyewear: Triomphe Sunglasses and Optical Frames

CELINE Eyewear: Triomphe Sunglasses and Optical Frames

CELINE Eyewear makes the face the place for a little Parisian geometry. The Triomphe logo, oversized acetate and slim metal frames turn a practical accessory into a recognizable piece of the house’s visual language. The collection is strongest when the frame is bold but the styling around it stays calm.

Statement Accessories: Scarves, Belts, and Jewelry

Statement Accessories: Scarves, Belts, and Jewelry

Styling Alexander McQueen Skull Tie is mostly a question of proportion, and the rest follows from there. Proportion does more than colour: volume on top wants something narrow below, and the reverse.

Cartier Eyewear: Panthère Sunglasses and the Panther Motif

Cartier Eyewear: Panthère Sunglasses and the Panther Motif

Cartier eyewear carries the panther, which first appeared in the house's jewelry in 1914 and became its signature under Jeanne Toussaint. I go through the Panthère frames and the round signature styles.

Silk scarf: The Square That Keeps Changing Shape

Silk scarf: The Square That Keeps Changing Shape

Silk scarf ideas, from printed squares and skinny ribbons to shawls and hair ties, with a practical knot for each size. I like an accessory that can redraw a plain shirt without asking for a whole new outfit.

Bottega Veneta Eyewear

Bottega Veneta Eyewear

Bottega Veneta was founded in Vicenza in 1966 and its first eyewear collection arrived in 2003. The frames borrow the house’s preference for discreet recognition, sculptural detail and material confidence rather than obvious logos. Here, aviators, cat-eyes and square shapes do the visual work.

How to Wear the Green Hat

How to Wear the Green Hat

The short answer on Green Hat: pick one anchor piece, keep the palette to two colours, and let the shoes decide how formal the whole thing reads. One piece should lead and the rest should stay quiet; two competing pieces read as an accident.

Hat Attack Hats and Bags: Everyday Accessories to Know

Hat Attack began as a family business in Manhattan in 1981, and Cooper McManus, the founders’ daughter, now leads its creative team. I like its mix of hats, some hand-blocked in the USA, patterned scarves and useful bags for the many moods of a year.
