Balenciaga’s black wool-silk toga dress ($2,076) has me feeling like a Grecian deity. The gold-fringed trim is a subtle nod to the ancient inspiration without leading you into cheesy frat party territory. Wear it with heels for a sophisticated look or with flats to amp up its cute frilliness. Browns’ own line, BFocus ($96), offers a Frugal Snob alternative that’s somewhat subtler in black cashmere/silk. The sleeveless cardigan comes belted at the waist to help give you those bold goddess curves. Both the Snob and Frugal Snob options have low necklines that offer just enough real estate to showcase a gorgeous necklace. Or better yet, throw on a gauzy scarf for a summer style that will transition from sunny days to breezy nights with no quick changes required. Available at Browns.
