Let’s not mince words: We are middle aged. We have wrinkles. We have grey hair. And we’re reaching the age where the homepage headlines feature the names of 20-something “celebrities” we’ve never even heard of.

Sometimes you have to see a piece of clothing in the wild to truly appreciate it, seeing it in the store just isn’t enough. Grey jeans, for example. On a shelf, not for me. At brunch, on a woman who looked relaxed and chic? Now, I need them.

The theme of 2013 was more is more. Wearing a bracelet? Wear five. Add a belt. Add a necklace, maybe two . . . make it three. So when I look at outfits from a decade ago, my first instinct is always: do less.

Capitol Hill Style is back! After a month-long hiatus, we have returned to celebrate boot season. As if I would miss it. For me, a committed summer girl, boot season is the primary thing that makes fall enjoyable. So let’s get to it with the best boots for Fall 2023.

What's the best way to wear a brooch….on your wool coat? I hate to damage garments like sweater, blouse or silk scarf….help!
C,
I wear brooches all the time! I really think they add some interest to an otherwise solid colored cardigan or turtleneck, etc. I always wear them directly on my sweater or shirt, but I wouldn't wear a brooch on a silk shirt. If your blouse is delicate, I would wear the brooch on your jacket. I don't have any scarves, but I'm sure you could get creative with those. Good luck!
