A Memo From Michael Kors

The all-American designer offers his own unique suggestions for living in style

Classic but sexy, conservative but cool, the runways for Michael Kors this spring typify the designer's timeless take on style. Soft pastel shades and ultrafine cashmere lighten retro sportswear and military styles, speaking to the jet-setting designer's ability to travel back in time and around the world. With such an expansive view, Kors is the perfect person to turn to for advice and inspire us to…

  1. Dare to mix flip-flops with an extravagant evening gown.
  2. Try to wear white or neutral colours year-round – not just in the summer.
  3. Consider red lips.
  4. Incorporate one piece of animal-print clothing into your look.
  5. Ditch the wrap and, instead, try a chic little jacket for a night out.
  6. Look for something brocade. It is rich and adds texture to your look.
  7. Treat metallic shades as if they were neutrals.
  8. Buy a fabulous evening coat.
  9. Pin up your hair to reveal the nape of your neck – it is automatically sexy.
  10. Wear some sparkle and shine to share a festive mood.
  11. Send yourself a gorgeous potted white orchid, just because.
  12. Eat caviar straight from the jar.
  13. Dress your man in a black cashmere pullover, jeans and loafers without socks. It is the perfect look.
  14. Fill your home with books on the work of Slim Aarons, the preeminent society photographer.
