When the Wardrobe Rail Only Has Room for the Basics

When the Wardrobe Rail Only Has Room for the Basics

A small rail asks for pieces that earn their spot. This set is a cream cable knit sweater, pull on straight leg jeans with stretch, and faux suede ankle boots with a stacked heel. Each one works alone and together, for a budget that stays small.

  1. The cable knit sweater for a crisp walk to the bus stop

    The sweater is 60% cotton and 40% acrylic, with a cable knit pattern and an oversized fit. The cotton keeps it soft and breathable, and the acrylic adds durability. Cream is the color here, and it sits easily over a collared shirt or on its own. Hand washing is recommended.

  2. The ankle boots for the walk from the office to dinner

    The boots are faux suede with a synthetic sole, a chunky stacked heel, a side zipper and a bowtie strap detail. The insole is cushioned. The bow is a matter of taste, but the block heel is low and gives the whole outfit a bit of lift.

  3. The jeans for mornings when getting dressed should be easy

    These straight leg jeans are 51% cotton, 38% polyester and 11% elastane, so the denim has some stretch. The waist is high with an elastic pull on design, and belt loops let you add a belt. There are five pockets, including a small key pocket. Petite and tall sizes are offered.
