Ah what to wear to Mercedes Benz Fashion Week at Lincoln Center? It is an exciting somewhat dyslexic week when we are bundled up in winter’s wool, while on display in the windows are fashions of early spring and resort, and then reporting on the new runway styles for next fall – it is enough to give a girl a fashion identity crisis. We tend to keep it simple and comfortable, except for killer heels, of course. Definitely a dress that will transition from day to night with a few choice accessories. Since it can be chilly at Lincoln Center, we like a sleeve or a little weight to the fabric and knits are especially versatile. We will let our Fashion Editors like Nicole Hanley Mellon do the up-to-the-minute looks, while ours remain classic and chic. We went shopping at Net-A-Porter for this super collection.
