For what to wear to a wintertime Charity Luncheon, we went straight to Bloomingdale’s to put together this high-powered look. Lay the framework for smart, strong dressing in an impeccably tailored Max Mara Studio jacket. Clean lines accentuate the collarless silhouette for a definitively modern look. Next, it’s your choice of skirt or pants: slip into this supremely supple Vince pencil skirt of luxe stretch leather for alluring work-to-fête style, or polish off your professional repertoire with sleek Max Mara Studio skinny pants, featuring a trend-right cropped silhouette. On your feet, satisfy your need for tweed with these Tory Burch platform pumps. Top it all off with this lovely a-line silhouette coat and elegant 12-button length cashmere-lined leather Labonia gloves. A little bit luxurious and a little bit ladylike, this leather Z Spoke Zac Posen satchel works an elegant vibe, detailed by a bold, studded bow and then top it off with a Fleurette double breasted Princess Coat in trending Winter White.
