With no shortage of personal, sick, and good old-fashioned vacation days now in store, why not start the year with a new getaway on the books? Follow the lead of the designers who’ve got mysticism on the mind and make a break for the great desertscapes of the American Southwest.
As any well-versed traveler will attest, the best journey begins with a well-stocked suitcase. Load yours up with head-to-toe desert-inspired neutrals (don’t skimp on suede and snakeskin), with hints of hand-embroidery (a Dior floral boot or a pair of Gucci gloves are good go-tos) and primary colors (Tibi’s terra-cotta-hued skirt and Alexandre Birman’s cobalt blue sandals bring the heat). As for the finishing touches? Calvin Klein’s heritage boots and Irene Neuwirth’s one-of-a-kind opal necklace lend some spirit and soul.
Even better: Western motifs are wildly on message and entirely on trend this season, so your newly crafted look will translate effortlessly to the city streets upon your return.
