Summer Fashion: Neutral Territory

Grand Tiers

It's not Evita's balcony, but this 1913 neoclassical townhouse—restored and transformed into the hip bar-restaurant Milión—is a splendid setting for a long, regal column dress (Calvin Klein, $248). You don't need to be svelte to wear the figure-skimming shape; the tiers, edged in gold sequins, seem to elongate the body. Gold accessories—including large teardrop earrings (Laurie Kaiser), an armful of bangles (Marcia Moran at Supplements NY, Armenta, KC Designs, C. Greene, Alex Woo, Moritz Glik, Amrita Singh, Ippolita), and gilded sandals (Dolce & Gabbana)—help light up the nights in Buenos Aires, which are lively and long: Dinner begins around 9 p.m.; closing time usually isn't until 4 a.m.
