Ulla Johnson Astra Jadeite crushed-velvet midi dress

The Holiday Party Dresses Guide: Velvet, Satin, Sequins and Evening Styles

October 15 holiday update: DÔEN’s new arrivals add lace-trimmed silk and flocked cotton to this dress edit. For a top, pants or a sheer skirt instead, see the new holiday separates in the DÔEN post .

Brunello Cucinelli dark-brown shell and suede sneakers

The Sneakers Guide: Polished Pairs, Everyday Classics and Athletic Shoes

The slender brown Brunello runner and the cushioned New Balance 1080 do not belong in the same decision. One changes how cream trousers look; the other is a road-running choice.

This is a […]

Khaite Miriam beige calfskin ballet flats

The Flats Guide: Ballet Flats, Mary Janes and Loafers for Every Outfit

The gathered beige Miriam , red embellished Sofia and black Jordaan loafer offer three different ways to finish the same plain outfit. Decide whether the shoe should soften the hem, supply the color or add structure. Being flat is not proof that any of them will be comfortable on your foot. Compare ballet flats , Mary Janes , loafers or pointed shapes against trousers and skirts you already own. This is […]
