rosy outlook

 

While I am reacquainting myself with holiday-party dressing after taking last year off, I'm also refreshing my everyday uniform with an assist from Dutch model Claire Rose Cliteur, pictured here. Dividing her time between London and New York City, Claire sticks to city-sleek yet super functional staples, such as walk-everywhere Converse sneakers, Gucci loafers, and Flattered low-heeled boots (below), bootcut Levi's and oversized (but still figure-flattering!) jeans, along with this layer-ready leather vest, long, outfit-elevating coats from Zara and Magda Butrym, and knits from Vince. It's an easy yet stylish mix of pieces with long wearability. Now I just have to figure out how I can split my time between London and New York like Claire!
