We love Society for Rational Dress—not least because they have women of all ages wearing the clothes on their website. (All we want is what men of all ages have: belief in cultural relevance after 21/30/35/40/50/60/70/etc.) They are named for, and this we believe is fascinating, the Rational Dress Society, which, in the 1880s, agitated:

against the introduction of any fashion in dress that either deforms the figure, impedes the movements of the body, or in any way tends to injure the health. It protests against the wearing of tightly-fitting corsets; of high-heeled shoes; of heavily-weighted skirts, as rendering healthy exercise almost impossible; and of all tie down cloaks or other garments impeding on the movements of the arms.

Brilliant! We could not agree more. And these are three of our favorite pieces from them, now in stores:

We love this dress, the jewelry, even the hair. Sheesh. Society for Rational Dress eyelet-belt dress, $316

And the back on this is beautiful. Extremely bare, but beautiful. Society for Rational Dress black racerback tank, $134

Finally: It’s pretty standard from the front, but the back—swoony. Society for Rational Dress open-back top, $126
