Go-To POW: Classic Pearls and Lace Sunday Best
/Outfit Mission Statement: Sometimes simple is special—keep it simple with black pants, a lacy sweater, and classic accessories
Sunday Best POW outfits are special occasion clothes for dinning, theater, opera, holiday parties, church, and other such occasions that need something special. The POW (Piece of the Week) is the cabi Spring 2016 Go-To Trouser. The classic elegance with a modern silhouette of these trousers keeps suggesting to me simple styling, as I have for this Sunday Best and for Date Night Friday. The can also be dressed in less simple ways (check out the Black & White Manic Monday). But they do work well playing off the classic and simple styling of the trousers. To create a Sunday Best outfit, just add a lovely lace sweater, some pretty sandals, pearls, a purse, red lipstick, and a variation on a classic French twist. The looks is simple, elegant, and ready for many different special occasions.
Tips:
- A classic pair of black pants and a lovely sweater with special lace details can make an elegant and simple special occasion outfit
- Add classic details, like red lips, a French Twist, and pearls
- Look good coming and going with details in the back of our top, like the lovely lace on the Sophia Sweater
- Black and white outfits bring with them a certain classic sophistication that you can draw on with styling
- Keep in mind that black and white outfits are hard to photograph, so look for something different if you know you will be photographed at your special occasion
- Wearing classic, quality jewelry, such as pearls, increases the style and dressiness of any outfit
- When layering with lace, wear a different color under the lace to accentuate the lace—this soft pink adds to the sophistication of the outfit but a bolder and brighter color can be fun in a more playful and/or sexy outfit
