Opening Ceremony Ruffle Front Blouse

Bee-Shyuan Chang

After a weekend of pounding nor’easter rain, the sun and blue sky are back on-duty. The brighter weather has us thinking of lightening up via pieces like this Opening Ceremony ruffle-front blouse. The gauzy shirting has a carefree hippie spirit but doesn’t go too far down the boho path with a clean covered placket and simple shape. Buy it oversize and pair with tailored denim, chunky clog-inspired heels and a fringed shoulder bag. Opening Ceremony ruffle front blouse, $368 at LaGarconne.com.

Alexander Wang Trish Loafer Mules

Bee-Shyuan Chang

Not committed to the clog revival? Well, even if you are on the clog-hopping bandwagon, chances are some offices won’t be too keen with pairing the wood-soled pairs with business casual duds. Meet Alexander Wang’s Trish Loafer Mules. It has a clog feel but with a bit of mannish detail courtesy of traditional loafer tassels. Plus the two-tone, black and white coloring says the right side of rebel (meaning not so in-your-face to make the boss notice) while jazzing up a pair of basic black trousers. Alexander Wang ‘Trish’ loafer mules available at Shopbop.com for $575

HOPPING THE POND: ANY OLD IRON OPENS IN THE LOWER EAST SIDE

Bee-Shyuan Chang

If hopping the pond has guys thinking more hot weather climes like Spain or Italy, then soon the boys can skip out on rainy London without forgoing some stylish English threads. Any Old Iron, a new Lower East Side boutique stocking Brit favorites such as Fred Perry, Unconditional and Sir Tom Baker, is scheduled to open this Sunday, March 12. Designer/stylist, Andrew Clancey and arts-entrepreneur, Christopher Melton came up with the idea so hard-to-find UK brands can find a home in New York. As for the shop’s charming moniker, the name is a combination of Clancey’s family scrap metal business, which was founded in 1872, and an Old English music hall song by the same name that talks on young men dandyism. For those that want a sneak peek, the website is already up and running. Otherwise, with the winter weather fading, taking a dandy stroll downtown may also be a fine idea. Continue…
