ROCHESTER.
TATI?
>> Tati: GLAMOROUS STYLE AND
WINTER CLOTHING DON’T SEEM TO GO
HAND IN HAND, BUT A POPULAR
PIECE OF EVENINGWARE IS BEING
WORN RIGHT NOW.
LOCAL 4 STYLE EDITOR JOHN JORDAN
IS HERE WITH SUGGESTIONS ON HOW
TO MAXIMIZE THE MAXI DRESS.
HEY, JOHN.
>> HEY, TATI.
LOVE YOUR NECKLACE, SPEAKING OF
MAXIMUM THINGS.
THE WHOLE IDEA OF LONG DRESSES
IS OFF-PUTTING TO PEOPLE, AND IT
SHOULDN’T BE.
THEY ARE SO VERSATILE.
THEY COME IN ALL DIFFERENT
VERSIONS.
I MADE A BIG RUCKUS AT MACY’S
YESTERDAY WITH A PERSONAL
SHOPPER, BECAUSE I KNEW THERE
WERE A LOT OF OPTIONS, YOU KNOW,
LIKE A FROCK OR, YOU KNOW, TIGHT
AND KNITTED.
BUT PEOPLE DON’T... THEY THINK
OF IT AS JUST EVENINGWARE, AS
YOU WERE SAYING.
>> Tati: ALL RIGHT.
SO START WITH THE IDEA OF HOW TO
WEAR THIS EVERY DAY.
>> OKAY.
SO THINK OF LIKE, YOU KNOW,
EVERY DAY LONG OPTIONS, LIKE,
YOU KNOW, YOGA PANTS OR SWEATS.
IT CAN BE A GO-TO WARDROBE
STAPLE.
IT CAN BE SO VERSATILE THAT YOU
COULD ACTUALLY WEAR IT TO RUN
AROUND TOWN DOING ERRANDS AND
THEN CHANGE IT UP AND REINVENT
IT FOR A COCKTAIL PARTY.
>> Jason: OKAY.
I LIKE THAT.
I LIKE THAT
>> Tati: SO YOU ALSO SUGGEST
TO TOP IT OFF.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?
>> OKAY.
SO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS IMAGE
HERE.
24 IS LIKE A BURNT VELVET
PATTERN BY CALVIN KLEIN FOR
MACY’S, AND REALLY ALYOU HAVE TO
DO, THERE’S A GRAPHIC THERE,
WHERE IT SAYS THAT.
THERE YOU GO.
YOU CAN USE, ESPECIALLY A SLIT
SKIRT AND PUT A PAIR OF SLIM
PANTS UNDER IT.
AND THERE IS SOMETHING REALLY
SEXY I THINK ABOUT, YOU KNOW,
SORT OF A SLIT, WHETHER YOU’RE
SHOWING FABRIC LIKE PANTS OR
BARE SKIN.
>> Tati: I LIKE THAT.
IT LOOKS REALLY GOOD.
SO LET ME ASK YOU THIS.
HOW DO WE INCORPORATE JUMPERS
WITH MAXIS.
>> OKAY.
SO THIS IS REALLY COOL.
WE COULD DO THIS WITH A LITTLE
BLACK DRESS, BUT WE COULD ALSO
DO IT WITH THE RIGHT MAXI DRESS.
SO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS BASIC
SORT OF SUMMERY MAXI DRESS ON
THE LEFT.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PUT A
CRISP WHITE BLOUSE UNDERNEATH IT
AND ACCESSORIZE IT.
YOU CAN SEE HOW IT GOES FROM
ALMOST BEACHWEAR TO, YOU KNOW,
SOMETHING MUCH MORE ELEVATED IN
THE RIGHT OFFICE.
YOU COULD GET AWAY WITH THAT.
YOU JUST HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT
IT’S SLEEVELESS AND THAT THE
COLLAR OF THE DRESS IS LIKE A
SCOOP NECK OR A V-NECK SO THAT
IT WILL ACCOMMODATE THE COLLAR
OF THE BLOUSE.
>> Tati: I LIKE IT.
I LIKE IT.
NOW FINALLY YOU ALWAYS DRIVE
HOME THE POINT TO LAYER IT UP.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN IN THIS CASE.
>> OKAY.
SO RIGHT OVER HERE, WE... OKAY,
THERE WE GO.
THIS IS ACTUALLY A HALTER, AND
YOU KNOW I’M A BIG FAN OF THE
CLASSIC BLACK TURTLENECK.
YOU HAVE SOMETHING THAT’S
SUMMERY, A HALTER, AND YOU CAN
MAKE IT WIN FOR WORTHY.
AND YOU CAN THROW BEADS ON IT
AND YOU CAN PUT A JACKET ON TOP
OF IT.
YOU CAN JUST KIND OF KEEP
LAYERING IT SO THAT YOUR
SUMMER-WORTHY MAXI DRESS BECOMES
WINTER WORTHY.
IT’S SO MUCH FUN.
IF YOU JUST EXPAND YOUR HORIZONS
AND LENGTHEN YOUR DRESS.
>> Tati: AND TRY SOMETHING
DIFFERENT.
