Below, President of The Fund For Park Avenue and Kevin McLaughlin’s forever muse and style icon, Barbara McLaughlin, invited us into her Upper East Side home to talk all things the late summer uniform, the perfect belt, and more.
1. The Navy Uniform
Modern classics. Barbara styles the Lena Sweater with the Deanne Pants. Photo by Daphne Youree Photography.
Since I pretty much like a "uniform" for work, this new collection filled with navy basics is made for me and all my colorful and oversized jewelry. It's been nice to have some new things to spruce up my work outfits since I'm back in the office most of the time now.
2. Lena Sweater
All about the knits with our favorite Lena Sweater.
I wear the Lena sweater all the time. I’ll pair it with dark jeans or a matching pair of navy pants.
4. Vista Jacket
The jacket we’re coveting for now, for later. Meet: the Vista Jacket.
I have this jacket in white and denim but am now loving the tan. I like that there are pockets and that you can cinch the waist.
