How to Style Drawstring Pants Three Ways

The drawstring pant is the hardest-working piece in our boutique. For the office, pair the black tapered cut with a tucked blouse and loafers — the tie waist reads polished, not casual. On weekends, swap in a striped knit and sneakers. For evening, the blush linen-blend version with heels and a simple black top dresses up without trying.

Fit tip: the tie should sit at your natural waist with a small bow. If you are between sizes, size down — the elastic and cord forgive the rest. Shop the look in Pants & Skirts.

Knit Care 101: Keep Them Soft for Years

Wash knits cold and inside out, skip the dryer entirely, and fold — never hang — so shoulders keep their shape. A quick de-pill with a fabric comb once a season keeps open knits like our fringe cardigan looking new. Small habits, years of extra wear.

Browse soft layers in Blouses & Knits.

Field Jacket vs. Tailored Coat: Which One?

Choose the hooded field jacket if your days are active — school runs, dog walks, rainy commutes. Choose a tailored coat if you want one layer that sharpens everything underneath, from jeans to occasion dresses. Can't decide? The field jacket wins for daily life; the tailored coat wins for cost-per-wear over a decade.
