Veronica de Piante has an eye for good outerwear, whether it’s finding a holy-grail piece in a vintage store or creating her own. The designer’s namesake brand is a reflection of her evolving personal style. “I love sharp tailoring and dark colors, but I’m opening myself up to more colors just done in my own way,” she says. “It makes you more confident. I don’t need to stick to what I know — I can venture out.”

She considers good style a mix of vintage and unique pieces, even without the designer budget, and cites her teenage children as style inspiration: “They buy their vintage pieces, and I’ll want them. They take a unique piece and really make it theirs.”
