It's a lot like eating your favorite comfort food, like mac and cheese, but Lacoste always makes me feel like I am right at home.

Many of the Lacoste designs on Saturday's runway were accessorized with a tie instead of a necklace. Smart look.

Many women are under the impression that haute couture cannot traverse from the catwalk to the sidewalk. But as the pictures above prove, smart and classic styles were alive and well in New York this week.
