Assembly New York's First Women's Collection: Sustainably Slouchy
I’m not a pants-lover; I find most of them to be terribly uncomfortable and not at all flattering on a woman’s body (pants work best on ladies who are more guy-shaped). White wool wide trouser, alpaca sweater. But I had to take pause when I saw all the giant slouchy…
