Keep It Short.(Buyers guide)
Byline: Photographed by Craig McDean.
After a long winter, things are finally looking up (and up and up). Paired with precise jackets and foulard scarf-tied blouses, spring's abbreviated hemlines don't skimp on elegance.
"Wearing pants of any length gives a certain freedom. A dressy short feels flirtatious, cheeky--and still has a casual ease" -- Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton
"I liked the juxtaposing of a traditional fabric and modern shape--it's an edgier take on a tailored piece" -- Alexander McQueen
CAPTION(S):
EYES ON THE SIZE Attention to proportion is essential--a cropped jacket can top brief lengths when the shirt's elongated. Louis Vuitton stretch wool jacket, $1,955; (866) VUITTON. Phi crepe de Chine shirt, $1,395; phicollection.com. Emporio Armani cotton roll-up shorts, $195; emporioarmani.com. Fred Leighton bracelet-and-watch set. Details, see In This Issue.
LINE ITEMS The look stays lean with a men's tailcoat--inspired jacket, vertical pajama stripes, and a substantial, leg-lengthening high heel. Ann Demeulemeester cream hemp coat ($1,829), waistcoat ($906), silk sleeves ($327), and shorts ($616); Barneys New York. InnaSense ring. Details, see In This Issue.
