These garments have such ease (no bandage versions here), they're a great way to start the day. What could be more comfortable? HOW TO WEAR ITThey come pin-tucked, shirtwaisted, loose, belted, or A-line, with and without sleeves-so at least one will surely flatter you. Let your favorite brilliant color do all the work. Accessorize with natural shades like saddle and wheat. Legs go bare. Choose nude shoes (flats or sandals) rather than darker hues.
