Desert Dreams

Western chic makes a statement, but the real art is in making it without shouting. A neck is not an arm, but that doesn’t matter when the sleeves are loose and breezy, promising just the right amount of sway. The asymmetric pattern carries the promise of a dynamic twist. As for the belt, it doesn’t so much cinch the waist as celebrate it. Featuring a buckle that might have adorned the belt of a general, it’s a piece that brings the bling without overdoing it. The jewelry, meanwhile, is subtle enough to let the whole ensemble speak for itself. The desert vibe is there, of course, but there’s no need to be going west young man when the west can come to you. And it does, in the form of a graphic that says it all without saying too much. The effect is a relaxed yet stylish look that whispers where others might shout.
