We are mad about the color Cordovan this season – even the name sounds seductive! Of course if your are an oenophile, you can refer to it as burgundy, merlot or simply, wine. It is an incredibly versatile neutral and the richness of the shade is evocative of the change of seasons. We went shopping at SAKS.com to find a fabulous selection for Mercedez-Benz Fashion Week and beyond. The color works right now, and straight through until next spring. It also looks so elegant with black accessories. To see all of the Cordovan Collection, go to SAKS.com. W
If you buy only one dress this season, this is it. Wear it with black tights and platform pumps or boots and long black gloves for added elegance. This suede sheath will go from the early hours until the wee hours. We might turn up the hem a little to shorten to above the knee.
