The New Fashion Frontier
Argentina is hot, hot, hot, and so are clothes that evoke its colorful cowboy culture.
Local Colors
Argentina's Las Pampas region is home to great plains, big skies, and country-style retreats like the 400-acre Estancia El Rocío. Populating the landscape are the legendary gauchos—South America's equivalent of the cowboy—with their trademark berets and neck scarves. Saddle up with an ageless shape such as a richly embroidered cotton tunic (Irving and Fine, $230), which adapts to all kinds of cultures (and flatters all sorts of bodies). This version has full sleeves and is cinched with a beaded, silver belt (Yvonne Duff-Franklin for Culture Shock). Jeans (Eileen Fisher, $168) have gaucho-esque panache, as does the fringed shawl (Coldwater Creek, $249). Keep jewelry organic with bangles (Amrita Singh; Nine West) and a necklace (Satya Jewelry).
