STYLE : FASHION : Deconstructing the Wardrobe

When putting together this season’s wardrobe, apply a little deconstructivist theory. Toss aside old rules, and take apart the business suit. Be daring: Mix a patterned jacket with a patterned tie, then add a colorful shirt. Raise eyebrows: Ditch your dress pants for a pair of linen shorts. Bury those neon sweats: Choose casual clothes in earth tones. Anywhere outside the boardroom, strive to look relaxed and comfortable. Easygoing style is hip.
