A versatile piece with clean lines and a hard edge. Wear it to toughen up pretty pieces, or accentuate its hard edge further with tough pieces.

An architectural piece that’s fashionably boxy. Wear it open for the full roomy effect.

The relaxed skinny and slim-fit boyfriend are pretty much the same style of jeans, and these fit the bill. They are cropped and great for milder Summer days. Size up a size.

It’s hard to find a pair of full-length faded skinny jeans, sans rips and tears, that don’t suck the living daylights out of you. But I eventually found them when I tried on these Nikkis. Their looser fit is heavenly and thoroughly modern. Expensive but totally worth it. I’d rather have fewer pairs of jeans that fit exactly how I want them to, than a whole slew of jeans that are almost there. I sized up for a roomier fit, but that’s not essential.

A classic gladiator sandal that works pretty well for low volume feet because the straps hold your feet in place. Soft leather and a cushioning footbed make the sandal quite comfortable.

Extremely soft leather, a cushioning footbed, and surprisingly comfy despite the higher heel. I was flabbergasted at how well these fit my feet.

These make my top picks list every season. You have to try them on to feel their magic. Fab with relaxed knit tops and sandals. Read the rave reviews. Size down.

This works pretty well for a low volume foot because there is lots of coverage and the peep-toe is quite small. Not perfect, but not bad at all.
