Much like red lipstick, there is a pair of red pants for everyone and here are 12 we can’t wait to get our hands on.

Pajama dressing has remained a surprising constant in fashion. At first, silky bottoms emerged on the street style circuit. Then the next season, lace camisoles and slip dresses arrived.

How To Get The Perfect High-Low Mix

When it comes to putting together an outfit with a good mix of high and low pieces, there are a few guidelines I like to follow. So, when Neiman Marcus asked me to create a high-low look with my top picks from their site, I put them to good use!

For the foundation of the look, I tend to stick to more affordable basics like a striped tee and jeans. Next, I like to add in splurge-worthy pieces, which for me usually means a statement bag and shoes. In this case, I couldn't help but include the printed Valentino boots— If you follow me on Instagram, you probably already know they're my current shoe crush. Finally, I like to mix in jewelry, sunglasses, and beauty favorites that can range from budget-friendly to there-goes-my-rent-check. Et voilà, mission high-low accomplished!
