says Creative Director Kevin

McLaughlin. “Party dresses—

usually the main event—are just

the appetizers.” And what better

to sip eggnog martinis in than

the sensational new strapless

grosgrain ribbon minidress?

“This year we’re thinking

big picture with clothes to fit

every event on a woman’s

chock-full Holiday calendar,”

adds McLaughlin. Sumptuous

silk gala skirts for New Year’s Eve,

hip quilted biker jackets for

kids home from Hotchkiss,

fur vests and cashmere skirts

for Nutcracker matinees and

skinny jodphurs for the glamour

girl trotting between office

party and art gallery. Traveling?

A new checked trench and

Alligator clutch tuck neatly into

the mega-popular Britney tote—

now in a very merry red.

Multi-colored hand stitched ribbon dress

O

You won’t find a sexier or more

festive fabric than that of our

multi-colored signature Ribbon

Skirt. “It’s so labor-intensive to

assemble,” notes McLaughlin.

In addition to the classic pencil

style, this season debuts the

fetching full 50s skirt in black silk

dupioni with wide ribbon trim—

topped with a tailored white

Whitney Blouse for crisp contrast.

“It wouldn’t be holiday without a pleated silk taffeta Ballerina Skirt,” says McLaughlin. And thinking hot pink paired with a Cropped Bow-Tie Cardigan and Cami is a little nod to Mad Men chic and 50s glam. “With so strong a color contrast, we think there’s a magic in keeping the rest minimal.”

Leave it to J.McLaughlin to

re-fashion the ubiquitous Fur

Vest in a “feels too good to

be faux” faux fabric. “It’s sure

to be one of our biggest

winter hits,” says McLaughlin.

That the printed silk lining

makes it just as ravishing on

the reverse side has turned

it into an insta-staple for

Manhattan matinees as well

as après-ski in Aspen. Pair

with a Jenna Pencil Skirt and

festive Catalina Tee for

a cheeky McLaughlin Twist.SCEN

The ultimate fuss-free fantasy look

for black tie New Year’s parties?

A floor-length silk moiré Gala Skirt

worn with an unexpectedly

simple white Modal Cotton Body

Suit. “Elegance is refusal,” it’s

been said, and given all the drama

of the draped silk skirt, it feels

right to simplify everything else.

Once the clock strikes midnight

and you’re racing to your

waiting car, may we recommend

our Wool Aviator Tartan Hat?

“There's something very Hermione

about our contemporary preppy

girl,” notes McLaughlin. “She’s

living proof that a hip girl

in sneakers and casual Striped

Catalina Tee needn’t stint on style.”

Give a cool Quilted Biker Jacket

with silk lining and tapered

rolled cuff Putney Pants for a

traditional collegiate chic look

everywhere from Princeton’s

campus to the boulevards of Paris.

We call them “tiny treasures”—

charming little leather luxuries

that go with you everywhere.

Luggage tags, pocket mirrors,

passport sleeves and paper-

weights in smooth or Scotch

grain leather. Key chains,

measuring tape and business

card holders—brightly colored

so you can easily find them

in your handbag—are the spare

essentials for modern lives.

A no-brainer for ensuring the

most coveted holiday stockings.

To paraphrase Robert Frost,

once Christmas shopping starts,

there’s miles to go before you

sleep! The key to dressing for the

task is light layers, comfort and

simplicity. Think featherweight

Microfiber Trench Coat, Silk

Crepe Body Suit and wool,

spandex Chelsea Pant. So sleek

and efficient you won’t notice

you’re laden with shopping bags.

In winter we seek out bright

colors like children looking for

presents under the Christmas

tree. And how great would a

Whitney Gingham Blouse in

relaxed washed cotton, a pair

of stretchy Skinny Stockbridge

Cords and a Tyler Ruffle Front

Cardigan look wrapped with

a colorful grosgrain ribbon

under the tree? Speaking of

presents: the single most

sensational gift this year has

got to be the printed crinkle

scarves in vivid gold, raspberry,

orange or green.

ride in style—whether traveling

home to see the folks, jetting

off to Jamaica, or escaping

to a posh ski resort. Layer an

oversized, barely buttoned

Denim Chambray Shirt over a

Striped Catalina Tee and fitted

Karina Stretch Khyber Skirt.

Working girl chic hits its stride in

our cotton spandex Jodhpurs

with suede details—the modern

urban alternative to skirts and

suits. Paired with riding boots or

ballet flats, it’s ideal for transitioning

your look from day to night—dashing

across town from boardroom

to brasserie. J.McLaughlin flirts on

the wild side, introducing an

updated version of the Whitney

Blouse with jungle cat print silk

cuffs and collar. These classic

sportswear pieces are must-give

holiday gifts for any busy gal.
