Ankle boots are the most useful shoe in a fall wardrobe. They go with jeans, trousers, skirts and dresses. They’re warmer than flats, more comfortable than heels and far easier to walk in than knee boots. So why do they sometimes look wrong? Usually, it comes down to one small thing: where your hem meets…

Every year, it happens the same way. You leave the house in a linen shirt and sandals because it’s sunny. By 4 p.m. there’s a chilly wind and you’re shivering at the bus stop. The next morning you overcorrect with a wool sweater and boots, and by lunch you’re melting. The summer-to-fall transition is the…

There’s a moment every September when you open the closet, look at your summer linen, then look out the window at a grey sky, and think: now what? The weather can’t make up its mind. It’s 48°F when you leave the house and 70°F by lunch. Your favorite sweater suddenly feels too heavy, your sandals…
