I didn’t see this Black Fleece shift dress at the Black Fleece boutique in New York, otherwise I would have put my Black Fleece knit suit back on the rack and found a matching jacket for this shift.
Made of pure camel hair in Italy, this Black Fleece dress is detailed with horn buttons on the back, and its straight skirt falls below the knee.
Ditch the obvious Hervé — it’s infinitely sexier to be so conservatively covered up in something the color of your skin…
While I was in New York for a few days last week, I skipped through Bleecker and popped into Brooks Brother’s Black Fleece boutique. Half of the store was 60% off, including a gray knit blazer with sterling silver buttons that reminded me of an updated version of those vintage Chanel suits I’ve been hungry for. I had the jacket tailored on the spot, and it — and its matching gray knit, pleated skirt — are being shipped to me.
I’ll sport this Black Fleece knit blazer over one of my bajillion silk jersey tank dresses, or paired with its Black Fleece knit skirt, a custom white buttondown and my new Brian Atwood “Candy” slingbacks.
So the whole point of Black Fleece is mix-matching better-made Brooks Brother’s classics — I love having a solid suit…
