Classic: A flirty skirt calls for a no-nonsense tailored top. Pair the red and white Tristen skirt with a black silk flap-pocket button-down, and roll the sleeves a bit. Finish off with take-charge black heels.
Modern: For an unexpected twist, pair the red or the blue Tristen skirt with an oversized white men’s-style button-down—and half-tuck the front like all the downtown chicettes are doing in NYC. Pair with black frame glasses and dark tassel-accented loafers or multi-color wedge sneakers.
Runway: For a look worthy of Tommy Ton, wear an oversize black open-weave sweater over the black/navy/white Tristen skirt (make sure to wear it high up on the waist, so it creates a clean silhouette). Finish off with black strappy ankle-wrapping heels, black sunglasses and neon necklace.
