Whenever I'm on a book tour, one of the questions I always get asked is what to wear to various occasions.
My six favorite textures for fall and winter are leather, fur, tweed, mohair, velvet and wool. I love that they are all as warm as they are fashionable and easy to incorporate into your wardrobe.
Sweaters are a closet staple. They look great under a leather vest or with a pair of tailored trousers.
I tend to wear leather pants with crew neck sweaters or leather jackets with denim.
Each moment calls for a different stylistic essence and a different sense of impact, and mastery of this balance is an art form - a very learnable art form.
I'm very classic and structural. I love clean lines and interesting, modern details. But I'm all about being streamlined - less is more.
