Caroline Issa on the Style Rules She Lives by

There’s what Caroline Issa wears with a zip-up sweater—and then there’s how she puts on that sweater in the first place. The latter is what makes the fashion director of Tank magazine street-style royalty. Issa shows us how she wears her Chanel cotton sweater three ways—plus, the style guru shares some of her current favorite things.

I love the ’50s shape of the dress with the swingy skirt— the sweater gives it gravitas. Take it off, add statement earrings, and you’re ready for a romantic dinner.

Jewelry: A pendant I inherited from my grandmother that has two jade acorns on it.

Bag: Moynat’s Rejane.

Lingerie: Araks is old-school sexy.

With fashion, there should be no rules, so I wore the sweater backward to give it a different neckline.

Fragrance: When I wear Portrait of a Lady by Frédéric Malle, strangers come up to me to ask what I’m wearing.

Vintage Shopping: Marlene Wetherell in New York City or 1stdibs.com.

Ann Taylor viscose-blend pants, $98 (Ann Taylor N.Y.C., 212-922-3621); Jimmy Choo velvet shoes, $925 (jimmychoo.com)

Baring your shoulders is sexier than showing off your cleavage. And the red pants brighten up the whole outfit.

Jeans: My M.i.h’s have a slight flare at the ankle that gives them a vintage nod.

Lipstick: Shu Uemura— all the reds and oranges they make.
