STREET STYLE

Menswear-inspired layers are the perfect choice for the ever-changing Richmond weather.

Tights and a lightweight sweater work for chilly mornings but can be easily shed for springy afternoons. Heavy boots help to toughen up an otherwise proper ensemble.

If you want to be noticed, try an unexpected mix of colors. Reds and greens aren’t just for Christmas when paired with a classic navy-and-white striped tee. Another great eye-catching color pairing to try: cobalt blue and golden yellow.

This classic ladylike look (ahem, scalloped collar) is instantly glammed up with a printed headscarf, oversized sunglasses and a bright red lip. This is also certifiable proof that white shoes can – and should be worn after Labor Day.

The contrast piping, collar and cuffs of this shirt are polished spins on the old western button-down, and the perforated leather brogues have a unique hint of sportiness. But his best accessory is, of course, his faithful four-legged companion, complete with coordinating harness.
