Veronica Beard is winning the fashion game — fitting, given that the label’s two designers have twinning names (Veronica Swanson Beard, 40, and Veronica Miele Beard, 47). The dynamic duo — who are also sisters-in-law — have a straightforward mantra of easy-to-style wardrobe staples for the woman-on-the-go (think: breezy frocks topped with chic belts and outerwear). And with eight children between them, it’s safe to say the working moms would know. Launching their label in 2010, they struck sartorial gold with their “Hoodie Dickey” blazer (a blazer with room for a removable hood), building a celebrity following along the way that includes Gwyneth Paltrow, Michelle Obama and Meghan Markle. Shared here are this dream team’s stylish essentials.
