WEST's owner Kitt Shapiro is a style icon to many Westporters (myself included): her looks are always a perfect mix of artfully curated and effortlessly cool. One (of the many) secrets to her success, she tells me, is what she calls the "WEST look:" a pair of R13 jeans, a graphic tee, and a structured blazer, accessorized with a bandana scarf and her signature dog-tag necklace. It's the perfect early-fall outfit—the jeans have just the right amount of lived-in-ness; and the high-powered, impeccably constructed gives some gravitas to the vintage-y tee (I'm partial to this one, which features an iconic line from the magazine-industry classic The Devil Wears Prada, but WEST always carries a rotating roster of chic tees. In fact, you can put together various versions of this outfit at WEST year-round). Finish the outfit off with a pair of kitten heels and you'll be channeling "The WEST Look" in no time.
