Pardon My French

IRO Clothing

When it comes to French dressing, you’re an expert.

You take yours on the side, with plenty of iceberg lettuce.

To class up your definition, take a lesson from IRO, the Parisian clothing line that’s now available in Dallas. A standard for femmes overseas, the collection combines a chic city aesthetic with vintage-inspired prints.

Head to the beach in a blue tunic with a green and white paisley border or a similar flowing gray tank. A peasant blouse with black embroidery is hippie garb for the new millennium. For something more casual, slip into a ribbed tube top with delicate red flowers along the edge.

Soon, the time when you dismissed French dressing as a mere condiment will be long past.

Your salad days, if you will.

Available at Kacky & Carl, 2722 Routh Street, Uptown (214-295-4486 or kackyandcarl.com). To see styles, go to iro.fr.
