Liz Cullumber’s look epitomizes unpretentious glamour: slim, well-cut clothes in luxurious — or luxurious-looking — fabrics. The idea is to mix labels and prices (never one designer, head to toe) and always add an element of surprise — perhaps sheer hosiery in a deep hue, or a shock of color in shoes or boots.Photo by Naomi Kaltman/Art Mix

Here Cullumber sports Missoni wool-blend plaid pants; an H&M burgundy suede coat; a Tsesurface silk and cashmere sweater; and Martinez Valero red leather boots.Photo by Naomi Kaltman/Art Mix
