13 Steps To Dressing Like An It-Girl
Sponsor Content Created With Coach
The secret to being an It-girl with great downtown-inspired style is surprisingly simple: just combine a carefree attitude with an edgy-meets-sophisticated take on current trends. In other words: it’s all about the key pieces, like that perfect moto vest, modern cross-body bag, and sexy heels. Coach has everything you need to get this look right, just check out these styles and you’ll be set!
Combo Slim Trench ($1,298)
Wear your neutral trench over a chunky knit and leather pants while the weather's still cold, and then pair it with a flowy frock come spring.
Bleecker Felicia Cross-Body In Striped Perforated Leather ($218)
This city gal is constantly on the go, dashing from work appointments to the hottest new restaurant, so a portable, fuss-free bag remains a crucial part of her everyday wardrobe.
iPhone 5 Case in Camo Floral Print ($38)
When you’re rarely seen without a phone in your hand, as this trendsetter is, a stylish case is not just encouraged, it’s a must.
Josey Heels ($258)
Subtle sex appeal—think strappy heels—is always a good thing.
Coach Leather Moto Vest ($798)
Give this vest a model-off-duty spin by pairing it a white t-shirt, black skinny jeans, and Chelsea boots.
Leather Hasp Bracelet ($98)
The perfect companion for this tough-girl piece is a gold menswear-inspired watch.
Nillie Sandals ($278)
Add a touch of spring to a leather skirt with bright gladiator sandals.
Bleecker Cooper Satchel ($358)
When it comes to your accessories, look for unexpected details, like perforations, to set you apart from the pack.
Metallic anything should be on your radar this season, especially a pair of sandals you can wear with everything from a cutout mini dress to jeans.
The Large Borough Bag in Patchwork Leather ($1000)
The downtown girl always has her statement bag, and we encourage you to make this hand-pieced style yours.
Double Wrap Turnlock Plaque Bracelet ($78)
When all else fails, keep your jewellery minimal. A leather bracelet is the epitome of understated cool.
Camille Heels ($178)
These versatile d’Orsay heels show more skin than your average pump, so they go from desk to date with ease.
Bleecker Accordion Zip Wallet ($228)
For this style-savvy gal, no detail goes overlooked. That includes her wallet, too. This colorblock zip version will be a nice surprise when you pull it out of your bag.
Leather Baseball Jacket ($998)
A nod to his athletic side, this two-tone varsity jacket pairs perfectly with dark denim on the weekend.
Bleeker Stainless Steel Chrono Bracelet Watch ($448)
A stainless steel watch is the only accessory a stylish man needs.
Bleeker Legacy Courier Bag in Leather ($398)
When it comes to work, the downtown girl’s guy prefers a cool courier bag to a stuffy briefcase.
Maison Driving Moccasin ($278)
Even during low-key occasions, this fashionable fellow likes a little luxury, a.k.a. leather boat shoes.
