Layers and texture bring a dash of drama to formal affairs.

Long and Short of It

Cropped, op-art trousers shake up tunic tops and sheath dresses. Call it a twofer.

Silk blend jacquard dress by Peter Pilotto ($1,615), Sloan/Hall; worn over American Apparel jersey blend body suit ($28), American Apparel. Pearl and gemstone

A dull garden party? What are we, Yankees? The primly-manicured gardens of Bayou Bend are an unexpected backdrop for spring’s bold graphic prints, fearless florals, and brassy cosmopolitan pluck.
