Bal Harbour

BAL HARBOUR 125 PORTRAIT BY RUVEN AFANADOR ON UNIFORMS "A uniform is one of the most amazing, genius, time-saving devices in the world. Coming up with a formulaic way to dress is such an incredible help to cut down on time and stress. Create a uniform to simplify your life, so that you can spend time doing things you want to do, instead of fighting with your closet! When you create your signature style, people get to know you, rather than what you are wearing." SIGNATURE STYLE "The staple of my uniform for some time was a pair of amazing jeans that I got from Susie Crippen. Now they're falling apart, so I've replaced them with Khaite jeans in a skinny or cropped boot cut. I pair them with some sort of lacy, romantic folk top from Chloé, Isabel Marant, Nili Lotan or vintage Chanel. The fancy thing I do for evening is a three-quarter- length coat that helps cover up whatever I'm wearing when I'm coming from work. On weekends, I'm pretty much exclusively in Nili Lotan's East Hampton flat-front trousers with one of her cotton shirts. They're made so incredibly well that you can just wear the crap out of them." KEY ACCESSORIES "If I'm feeling relaxed, I wear some sort of limited-edition Birkenstock; otherwise, it's a pointy-toe Valentino flat or ballet flat. My go-to jewelry is Hoorsenbuhs and Cartier. For evening, I bring a beautiful clutch, because it changes out the way I'm dressed really quickly. My husband bought me a beautiful Hermes Medor clutch years ago. I also have a skinny, black Valentino portfolio envelope that's smart and easy." STYLE ADVICE "If I go into a store and really like something, I buy a bunch of it in different colors. It should not be a big deal to wear the same thing. I mean, they're not going to make that shoe again!" COLOR CODING "I pride myself on being able to find the perfect things that look right on somebody. I want to find their lane—whether it's a black suit or a coral suit, it has to match who they are. The one thing I'm doing is finally embracing a bit of color. I was very boring for years; everything was black and white or black and gray. I'm really enjoying pink and blue. A dirty pink is always such a great color, as opposed to wearing white. It's great that men are finally starting to embrace color and have a good time with it." ON HER RADAR "A lot of people have forgotten about the suit, and I feel like it's such a forgiving piece of clothing. I have really been enjoying the oversized suit, the slightly-oversized jacket and wearing things that are a little bit loose. For guys, I'm loving a plaid suit for fall, to go professorial. Officine Générale is doing such fun, genderless, unstudied clothing and suits. So is Todd Snyder. You don't have to do the whole outfit. Wear a suit with a cool pair of sneakers. Throw on a turtleneck or a T-shirt so you don't feel restricted with a button-down. It's a great, easy, you-don't-have-to- think-about-it look."
