THE GUIDE TO DRESSING LIKE A STYLE ICON AS INSPIRED BY IRIS APFEL

1 Bold eyewear. Your glasses sit front and centre of your face and should be worthy. 2 A red lip. It’s a small thing but it packs a punch. 3 One for the neck. You don’t necessarily have to drape garlands of necklaces à la Iris. You can just wear one – just make sure it’s big, bold and graphic. 4 But two or more for the arms. A single bracelet? Why bother? Stack them up to your elbow. On both arms. 5 No budget. No problem. Do as Iris does and check out flea markets, vintage stores and the stores in ethnic neighbourhoods for some fabulously cheap and cheerful finds. 6 Dress for yourself. — DC
