BRILLIANT! As usual. Your passion is infectious and encourages me to start ‘dressing’ again, rather than just ‘putting clothes on. (A Sidenote: Khaite is so overpriced’ A pair of leather boots should not cost over $1,000. Luxury market has gone batshit crazy.)

Totally get you. Unless this kind (https://www.instagram.com/p/CrKpJa0teaX/) of craftsmanship is involved... it makes me ponder (when budget is not an show stopper - very often is for me at least 😏, oh life! Nonetheless doesn’t hold me back in admiration!)

Leandra, What are your thoughts on corduroy pants? I haven’t seen you in one and wanted to know if these are worth getting and of the 2 which one would you get?

The pants I’m wearing in the look with the knee high gold boots are corduroy! I’m a big fan of corduroy pants, actually. They featured in last weeks letter about the row lookbook too. Those Olympia Le tan ones are great.

Leandra I recently saw on one of your stories you posted a red polo with striped full sleeve, which is such a game changer!! I’ve been in a hunt for a red polo and long striped (not matteau.. too pricey). Do you mind sharing where you got the polo and a comparable striped full sleeve that serves that purpose?

Yes! Alex Mill has pretty great striped shirts

And for the red polo, that one is high sport (and pricey) - have to look into it a little but I think a classic from Lands End or LL Bean could work !

Thanks Leandra! I’ll check those out!!!

Favorite time of year to dress and inspired by ur post and idea of ulikely parings which im a fan of. I just acquired some great light suede brown pants from my moms old collection. above ankle slight flare. They are kinda perfect. And now just pondering what to pair with?! Curious How you would style... 🤎

One of my favorite outfits this time of year are my chunky wide wale cords belted and worn w a tank and flip flops. When it gets cold I switch to boots and a tight turtleneck. The cords are basically worn all year round except during our heatwave weeks of summer!
