The plaid reads black from across the room, then catches the light and gives up its secret — rust, slate blue, forest green threading through the dark like embers under ash. Diane Von Furstenberg cut this one for the long walk: a high button waist, deep knife pleats releasing into a full midi sweep that moves when you do. Wool that's kept its body for forty years and shows no sign of quitting.
