Undergarments
Manolo says, Mr. Henry considers underclothing . Underpants – a comic masterpiece of a word. Just try maintaining a serious tone when saying the word “underpants.” In Britain you can’t even say “pants” without getting a clever-clever rejoinder. For them, pants are garments worn under trousers. The German word for panties is “panties,” which when pronounced with a German accent sounds very, very naughty. It’s difficult to know how to frame the argument about underpants. Boxers or briefs? Surely this is a false dichotomy. And now you must go read the whole thing .
The Maxi-Dress Moment, Pt 2
Manolo says, it is the summer of the Maxi-Dress! Here is the Regan Maxi-Dress from Lilly Pulitzer , the white strapless maxi with the so-called “burnout” tropical leaf pattern. And now, we must need some colorful shoes to add interest and flavor to the dish. The Manolo recommends pink! On the left is the Metro T-Strap Wedge Sandals from Kate Spade . On the right is the Dolce & Gabanna Estelle Wedge Sandal (which you may recognize as having been recommended by the Manolo in the green color the couple months ago). Of the course, you are not limited to pink with the dress such as this. Indeed, almost any vibrantly happy color will work.
The Maxi-Dress Moment
Manolo says, unless you are perhaps living in the cave in the Hindu Kush, you will be aware that one of the better trends of this season is the maxi-dress. Here is the single shoulder, beautifully draped, Theo Maxi-Dress from Joie that will have you looking like the Pallas Athena! And, for the shoes, pay no attention to what the model is wearing, you, of the course, will require sandals of great simplicity and unusual beauty. Sandals such as the Blaze from Elizabeth and James , which have imbibed the spirit of classical antiquity, and yet suggest not the placid classicism of Attica, but the energetic rusticity of Macedonia. And thus not peaceable Pallas Athena, but Athena Nike, resting confidently at the head of Phillip’s horsemen.
