Velvet, a jaunty jumpsuit, the trench, head-to-toe camel and urban black-tie dressing are all on display for the July 2010 issue of Harper's Bazaar. Kendra Spears works an everyday working-girl look for 'The New Minimalism' in Harper's Bazaar.

'The New Minimalism' in Harper's Bazaar actually showcases classic pieces that should all be part of a woman's repertoire for fall.
