Add life to an outfit with a pop of color for an element of surprise. Sawyer likes leather but follows the rule: Wear one piece at a time.
Mint Jodi Arnold skirt, $451; 212-997-2329
For evening, Sawyer relies on long gowns in body-conscious shapes. The accessory of choice? Her shoulders. Often left bare (or barely draped) they’re sexy and statement-making.
Helmut Lang silk dress, $415; helmutlang.com
Sawyer eschews prints, often relying on one head-to-toe color. The look is timeless, and the effect is elongating no matter your height or weight.
