The Evening Your Plans Change Right After Five

The Evening Your Plans Change Right After Five

Some days start at a desk and end at a table across town, with no time to go home in between. This set is built for that stretch: a boxy cashmere turtleneck, wide leg slacks with stretch and pockets, and slingback kitten heels. Three pieces for a small wardrobe.

  1. The turtleneck sweater for that first properly cold morning

    The turtleneck is 100% cashmere in a boxy cut, so it hangs loose instead of close to the body. The high neck adds warmth against cool wind. It is the soft top of this set, and plain enough to wear with almost anything else you own.

  2. Wide leg work pants for the morning you need to get dressed fast

    These wide leg slacks are 80% polyester and 20% spandex, with four way stretch and a wrinkle resistant fabric. The waistband is elastic, and the two slanted front pockets are real, so a phone and keys have a place. They suit an office day and a casual evening alike.

  3. The kitten heels for the dinner after a long Friday

    The slingbacks have a pointed toe, a 2.75 inch mid heel and an adjustable buckle strap. The upper is faux leather on a rubber sole, and care means a hand wash in cold water. The vintage look is a matter of taste, not measurement, but the kitten heel keeps the height moderate.
