The essentials: Double-breasted trenches; sweater jackets and dresses; bow-tied blouses; wide-leg trousers; pencil skirts; knit cardigans; fitted blazers; bodyhugging shifts; tiered, floor-length dresses; sequin belts; gold scarves; stilettos.

The palette: Gray, white, black, blue, forest green, yellow, gold.

Bottom line: Chaiken's figure-flattering knit collection seemed to channel a modern-day Katherine Hepburn.
