Unusual Luxury Gifts for Her: The 1937 Scarf, Crystal and Scent

Trendy Hats for Women: What to Know

Trendy Hats for Women: What to Know

Everything worth knowing about trendy hats for women starts with the part that actually changes what you buy.

Coloured Sunglasses For Every Face Shape

Coloured Sunglasses For Every Face Shape

Face shape is a useful starting filter for Valentino Chain Sunglasses, but proportion matters more than the category name. Contrast works: an angular frame on a round face, a softer one on a strong jaw.

The Silk Scarf: A Small Square With a Long Memory

The Silk Scarf: A Small Square With a Long Memory

A silk scarf is a square of cloth that can be a headband, a belt, a bag charm or a collar. Hermès made its first one in 1937, and the idea has outlived almost everything from that decade. This is how to wear one so it looks like you meant it.

Chimi Sunglasses: Square, Rectangular and Cat Eye Shapes

Chimi Sunglasses: Square, Rectangular and Cat Eye Shapes

Chimi sunglasses appear here as the Seito rectangular frame in 48mm, one of the shapes doing the work this fall. I go through the square and rectangular frames and the cat eyes, and say which suits which face.

The Head Scarf Solves Three Problems At Once

The Head Scarf Solves Three Problems At Once

A head scarf solves three problems at once: sun on a parting, hair in an open car and three days of salt water. I picked eight silk scarves, eight that are not silk, and earrings that do not catch on the knot.

Celine Triomphe Sunglasses Are A Full Face Of Attitude

Celine Triomphe Sunglasses Are A Full Face Of Attitude

Celine Triomphe sunglasses sit softest on a rounder face in the 52mm oval or the 54mm mini oval. I walk through the cat eye, oval and geometric shapes and how the hinge fits.

The Hats Edit

The Hats Edit

The best hats are the ones that travel well in spirit, even when they are not literally foldable.

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.
