15 Ways to Look Like a Lady

Carolina Herrera RunwayThe "lady" is having her moment. Designers like Carolina Herrera, Fendi, Louis Vuitton, Marni, Nina Ricci, Oscar de la Renta, Prada and Versace filled their fall collections with polished looks fit for a woman of fine taste and an impeccable pedigree. But even if you are more of a casual Kathy than a demure dame, you can still catch the look with accessories like brooches, opera gloves and structured bags that look as smart with denim as they do with dresses.

15 Ways to Look Like a Lady

1. Throw this bar brooch on any blazer to add a unique touch.

2. These beautiful pearl drop earrings are perfect for a special event yet subtle enough for every day.

3. This t-strap heel, a 1940’s style shoe, is seen here in a up-to-date metallic color.  

4. The mix of suede and croco leather, along with the rich purple color of this framed handbag, make it a must-have for fall.

5. A cameo necklace like this is sure to feel like a heirloom treasure each time it’s worn. 

6. Long leather gloves, in the color of the season, give extra warmth. 

7. Ditch your oversized (and overused) handbag for a more structured style with turnlock hardware.   

8. A fur scarf thrown over a winter coat? Instant chic! 

9. A skinny belt in a skin, like this one in lizard, will accentuate your waist without taking over your look.  

10. Take the chunky statement  jewelry trend  even with a classic like pearls.  

11. For all you hat lovers out there… add a new and more structured style to all of the knits we’ve all come to love and hoard.   

12. Throw on a pair of satin, peep-toe ankle-strap pumps in a neutral color to add a retro lady vibe to a day look.

13. Who doesn’t love a bow? These patent leather platform pumps are a more grown-up version of what you wore when you were a little girl.

14. There’s something so refined about carrying an envelope-style clutch.  

15. A classic, bold printed silk scarf like this will add a dose of excitement to jeans and a long sleeve t-shirt.
