From runway to office: curation of handpicked high-low fashion for a professional yet elevated wardrobe. Style is power. Own it.
CORE: CAMEL CASHMERE
Cool, Camel & Collected.
Memo 01.21.2025 —— Spring/Summer 2025 is heavy on camel—an endlessly chic neutral that’s dominating the runways and our wardrobes. From lightweight dresses to tailored separates, camel offers effortless sophistication. And for the working wardrobe, camel cashmere is one of the easiest (and most luxurious) ways to incorporate this versatile hue into your daily rotation with maximum comfort. Work it with: tailored trousers, sleek skirts in a monochrome camel ensemble for a sleek, tonal vibe. Add a pop of red nail polish to subtly channel the season’s trending combination of camel and crimson, striking the perfect balance between elegance and edge. Reference SS2025: Hermes, Max Mara, Michael Kors.
CORE: KNIT TOP
Polished in Polo.
Memo 01.21.2025 —— The knit polo is having its moment in Spring/Summer 2025. It’s where preppy sophistication meets everyday comfort, with the knit texture adding a touch of elevation that steers clear of the sporty vibe. Soft and versatile, it’s an easy go-to for sophisticated wear on a busy day—but don’t let its laid-back feel fool you. This look demands balance. To avoid slipping into casual territory, pair it with tailored, sleek pieces for an extra-sharp finish. Available in pastel and neutral tones, this understated staple effortlessly balances femininity and professionalism, and proves once again that comfort and authority can go hand in hand. Work it with: tailored trousers, sleek skirts, or even layered under a blazer for a power move. Reference SS2025: Brandon Maxwell (above), Prada, Ferragamo, Gucci, E. Wickstead, Fendi, Loewe, G. Hearst.
ACCENT: BLACK MID-HEELS
Run it by Russo.
Memo 01.14.2025 —— If there’s one corporate shoe staple, it’s the Francesco Russo mid-heel—a sculpted masterpiece of exquisite quality, perfectly designed, wonderfully comfortable and ruthlessly sharp in all its wondrous understatedness. This is the shoe that quietly commands the room without ever raising its voice. Its versatility and polish make it utterly indispensable. Work it with: tailored pants, midi skirts, or a sharp dress, and let the Russo heel carry the authority it was crafted to wield. This isn’t just a shoe—it’s a statement.
CORE PIECE: BLAZER
Boyfriend Blazer.
Memo 12.18.2024 —— The oversized blazer gets a Wall Street upgrade in the new year—think double-breasted, strong shoulders, straight slightly oversized but narrower cut, and a power vibe that whispers, "Yes, I do have an IPO at 3." This one isn’t just a runway moment; it’s a closet hero, ready to clock in. Work it with: a blouse with statement collar (above) or a crisp shirt, wide-leg pants and pointed pumps for peak office hours authority. After hours twist: swap the pants for leggings or a short skirt for after hours fun and games. Reference 2025: Sacai, Saint Laurent.
ACCENT: PEARL DETAILING
Pearl Power Pumps.
Memo 12.14.2024 —— Pearls are back in Spring/Summer 2025! So for those days when you’re too lazy to put on your pearl earrings, these black pumps with pearl detailing have you covered. Combining the timeless appeal of pearls with the sleek sophistication of a classic black silhouette, they’re equal parts elegance and edge—no jewelry required.
CORE PIECE: SKIRT
Midi Pencil to the Max.
Memo 12.18.2024 —— The midi pencil skirt that's flirting with maxi length—it’s minimalist, it’s commanding, and it’s all about quiet authority. This skirt doesn’t need to shout; it says “I mean business” in a tone so measured, it’s practically boardroom poetry. Work it with: a cinched blazer over a demure top, a polo knit (they’re coming in strong in SS2025) or keep it cozy and chic with a beautiful cashmere sweater. Finish the look with pointed pumps or kitten heels for that sleek, restrained vibe. After hours twist: Swap the top for a Gucci bralette under the blazer (above), and add preppy socks to those kitten heels for a wink of irreverence. Reference: Gucci SS2025, Prada SS2025, Dolce Gabbana SS 2025, Max Mara SS2025.
ACCENT: BLACK PUMPS
Reliably Elevated.
Memo 12.14.2024 —— We’re not here to reinvent the wheel—or the heel. These are your perfectly elevated black pumps, giving you just the right lift to rise above it all (figuratively and literally). Don’t settle for cheap and mediocre—these are the pumps you’ll live in. I’m not saying they define you, but they absolutely enhance your strut. Confidence? Consider it handled. Work it with: Absolutely everything. Seriously. From boardroom to client lunch to closing dinner, they’ve got your back (and your feet). After hours twist: They’re ready. You’re ready. Go, go, GO!
ACCENT: BELT
Chain reaction.
Memo 12.14.2024 —— We firmly believe in the power of a belt—it’s the unsung hero that effortlessly pulls an outfit together while making a statement of its own. This one? It’s got just the right edge to take your look from “nice” to notable in seconds. Expect compliments. Work it with: a sleek black skirt or a black dress. Keep the rest of the outfit simple—let the belt do the talking without turning up the volume too high. Reference: Chanel AW2024.
ACCENT: KITTEN BOOTS
Fendi Crush.
Memo 01.06.2025 —— These boots redefine a classic with subtle tweaks that make all the difference. The kitten heel and slightly wider calf add just the right touch of modern elegance. Work it with: that maxi pencil skirt—perfection! After hours twist: Go short and swap a mini skirt. Reference: A timeless classic.
TOYS: XL HANDBAG
Supple yet Structured.
Memo 12.12.2024 —— Not quite slouchy, not quite rigid, but conveniently spacious—this bag strikes the perfect balance for an effortlessly elegant demeanor. It’s the companion that says, “I’ve got my life together, but I’m not trying too hard.” Big enough to carry everything you need, yet chic enough to go absolutely anywhere.
ACCENT: EARRINGS
Bows.
Memo 12.10.2024 —— Sometimes, all you need is to put a bow on it. The tiniest touch that transforms—brightening an otherwise austere silhouette with a whisper of charm. Quite the power move for such a petite piece of embellishment. This bow is small but mighty—proof that understated embellishment can still pack a punch. Work it with: a minimalist outfit, zero competing accessories, and a clear mandate to avoid anything that screams “tinsel”. It is also the perfect addition to pair with a cozy cashmere sweater (yes, we love these) when you need an instant lift two seconds before your Zoom meeting.
CORE: PINK CASHMERE
Boldly Soft.
Memo 12.10.2024 —— We’re not going to lie, this one may be biased, but hear us out: a beautiful cashmere sweater always delivers. Forget fashion and trends for a moment—this is your everyday hero, especially for office days filled with internal meetings. That said, this color is coming in strong for SS2025, so go ahead and indulge in its delicate charm. Work it with: simple black pants or a skirt, and keep it streamlined with one accent, max. Glide through the day in pure comfort and quiet confidence.
