Friedan

This Japanese velvet shield named after 20th-century feminist Betty Friedan will become your savior this winter: slip it over a crisp white oxford shirt, a slinky blouse or a thin black turtleneck and you’ve turned your outfit into a statement. Or wear it alone, arms bared, for a nightcap in a cavernous, cozy booth somewhere. Like dark chocolate or a glass of scotch, its cocoon-like shape and layering-or-not ability fixes nearly everything. Fine. It fixes absolutely everything. The Friedan is made with top quality, luxurious Japanese velvet. It is lined in 100% silk for a luxurious feel. Hook and eye in the back.
