Scroll through for their wardrobe secrets!
ASOS Duster Coat ($114)
Free People High Rise Roller Crop Jeans ($68) in Black
Her foolproof outfit: A fitted black t-shirt, black skinny jeans, basic black boots, and Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses.
“All black, always. As a blonde, it makes me want black because it makes my hair stand out. I usually throw some sort of trench or blazer over this sort of look in the fall. This is my go-to because it’s simple and easy, and something about all black always looks chic. It’s really about finding the perfect pair of jeans and tee to make the outfit.”
Acne Studios Bliss Generic T-shirt ($90) in Black
Paige Denim Verdugo Crop Skinny Jeans ($126)
Her foolproof outfit: A loose sweater, skinny jeans or leather leggings, and pointed-toe shoes.
“The one outfit that I keep slipping back into is as simple as it gets: skinny jeans or leather leggings, a loose sweater, and pointed flats or heels. Mixing the best basics in my wardrobe works every time, and always makes me feel good."
Aritzia Wilfred Montpellier Sweater ($165) in Heather Milk
Vince Claire Haircalf D’Orsay Pumps ($277) in Black
Her foolproof outfit: A dangerously unbuttoned silk shirt or t-shirt, peek-a-boo black lace bra, leather pants, and flats or heels.
“The thing with leather is that it makes you look like you have put some thought into something, when really you haven’t, and works both to impress a fashion audience (i.e. other women) and the boy you are trying to seduce.”
Everlane The Silk Round Collar Shirt ($78) in Slate
Her foolproof outfit: A big blazer or coat and a pair of classic, cropped black trousers.
“I like to go for this combination because I can wear whatever I like underneath as you won't be able to see much of it anyway, and the shoes don't seem to matter so much either. A big coat will instantly make any look more put together.”
Theory Idol Jersey Bitor Pants ($335) in Black
Her foolproof outfit: A knit or blouse and boyfriend jeans.
“It’s super comfy and so versatile in terms of styling it further, like I did in this outfit with a silk shirt around my waist and pointed boots.”
RES Denim Romeo Jeans ($120) in Whitewalker
Her foolproof outfit: Saint Laurent shirt, Isabel Marant blazer, and a pair of high-waisted jeans from Envii by Pernille Teisbaek, and Marni’s two-tone kitten-heel boots.
“My go-to look is always something I feel comfortable in; it is essential for me to feel both chic and casual at the same time.”
Saint Laurent Polka-Dot Shirt ($1150)
Etoile Isabel Marant Denver Tweed Coat ($610)
Her foolproof outfit: A simple coat, slouchy boyfriend jeans, black patent leather boots, and a newsboy cap.
“I always need a slouchy boyfriend jean with giant rips. I love them in a good blue or faded black. I swear they look cool with just about everything. With that, I keep the rest of the look simple. I'm all about the oversize jean; I've started to steer away from tight, tight jeans! They look easy, and they’re perfect for traveling. Here, I'm shot wearing it during Stockholm Fashion Week. At first, my outfit felt really plain and simple with a black skinny jean, so I spruced it up with this perfect shredded pair by Siwy… and it just felt way more me.”
Hannah Siwy Jeans ($182) in Addicting
Modern Vice Frankie Booties ($193)
Her foolproof outfit: Polo-neck top, button-down shirt, miniskirt, and a skinny belt.
“At the moment, I'm really into polo-necks and cinching everything. So a polo-neck under a button-down shirt, cinched in with a skinny belt, is a favorite silhouette, with an asymmetric miniskirt to sass things up. I hate tights, so bare legs is the last vital element! I love a slim-fit polo-neck because that ‘60/‘70s silhouette really appeals (hi, Edie Sedgwick), and I've always been into button-down shirts over t-shirts. It's a way to layer, without being remotely bulky, and I just feel like it's a good fit for my petite shape.”
Isabel Marant Etoile Wigston Chest-Pocket Shirt ($420)
ASOS WHITE Cashmere Roll Neck Sweater ($180)
Her foolproof outfit: A fantastically cut white shirt, high-waisted fitted jeans, and pointy loafers.
“I am very concerned with always looking professional, but in the same manner not too polished. It has to feel personal rather than like a uniform.”
Frame Le Classic Shirt ($178)
Her foolproof outfit: Oversized sweater and leather pants, or a button-down shirt and distressed slouchy skinny jeans.
“No matter how busy I am, both outfit combos make me look pulled together and I can wear so many different variations of the outfit.”
Feel The Piece Morrison BF Sweater ($205) in Steel
Her foolproof outfit: A great bomber jacket or blazer, jeans, and heels.
“This outfit is my go-to look because it's comfy, but looks put together and cool. I love the combo of this lace cami with this gorgeous floral bomber, and pairing them both with edgier boyfriend jeans and ankle-strap heels complete the look.”
ICB Chunky Check Bomber Jacket ($485) in Ultramarine
Topshop Moto Extracted Bleach Wash Hayden Jeans ($24) in Bleach Stone
Her foolproof outfit: Black jeans and a blazer.
“To be honest, I would wear black jeans and a blazer every day. I obviously have to spice it up but I think wearing black skinny jeans, a t-shirt/blouse, a pair of heels, and a blazer is such a classic statement look, very ‘a la Emmanuelle Alt.’ Whenever I don't shoot for the blog, this is my go-to outfit and it helps that I am obsessed with blazers, new or vintage, so I have been collecting a few for some time now. The key for me is to spice the look with a statement blazer (if it’s vintage, even better) and a cool pair of shoes. It always makes me feel comfortable without compromising style.”
Zara High-Heeled Leather Booties ($100) in Brown
Her foolproof outfit: A cashmere sweater, an asymmetric skirt, pointed-toe heels, and my Fendi purse.
“Feminine and fabulous! I feel like a real woman in this outfit. Not too sexy, not too conservative—just perfect!”
Saint Laurent Wool and Cashmere-Blend Sweater ($725)
Christian Louboutin White Leather Air Chance 100’ Sling Back Pumps ($646) in White/Tan/Black
