"A major department store carrying versatile winter staples such as a long‑sleeve maxi sweater dress that the author favors for daily wear (styled with tights and lug‑sole loafers by day, knee‑high cognac leather boots and an oversized jet‑black coat at night, or dressed up with a long structured blazer and block‑heeled pumps for work), gold ankle‑strap pumps with a retro square toe and cushioned footbed for holiday parties (1 1/4‑inch heel gives 'just enough height' while remaining comfortable), and organized, slouchy suede crossbody designs with zippered tops and back zipper pockets that help deter pickpockets while keeping belongings accessible." - Lane Nieset Lane Nieset Lane Nieset is a travel writer from Miami who has lived in France for the past decade.
