Whether it's '50s-inspired mixed prints, richly hued furs, maxi-length skirts and dresses, or strong pops of color, you've got to wear it with attitude. For the dapper Dans looking to stay in stride with their alpha dames, there are gorgeous wool suits, toned-down rocker duds, and tweeds that say sexy not drab.
