Flattering tones on any skin tone...the collection ranged from casual wear to interchangeable work-play separates. Accessories and shoes (a later post)...accented the apparel -perfectly...fyi.
classic l/s button down shirt-s interpreted in a dress,,,is a wardrobe staple. Mannequin is flanked by modern take on  French Breton navy/white stripe top under a slim fitting dark navy blazer...Lacoste also showed off more denim this go round---in various washes.
