The Boot-Trouser-and-Coat Combo Carey Mulligan Keeps Wearing Is So London
Whilst out and about in New York City this week, Carey Mulligan has taken chic London style to the Big Apple. As we know, there's a particular style that comes naturally to the capital's fashion set. It perfectly balances the laid-back air of city dwellers alongside a penchant for a minimalist wardrobe. Though this effortlessly cool style may feel like something you're born with, Mulligan's latest looks prove that there's a simple formula behind looking great every time, and it's as easy as one, two, three (well, boots, trousers, coat).
It seems like overnight, autumn was swept away and winter has officially arrived. The days are getting darker, and the cold weather has well and truly set in, making getting up and dressed in the morning even more of a struggle. If there’s one thing we can do to make those chilly mornings less painful, it's make the process of choosing what to wear as easy as possible. And thanks to not one but two great looks from Mulligan, we’ve found our latest cold-weather outfit inspiration that you can copy and paste for a chic London look every time. Her iconic looks come straight from Celine's A/W 22 runway, but don't worry—we're here to show that this outfit formula looks expensive on any budget.
If you want to spend a little more time under the duvet and a little less time figuring out what to wear, this outfit formula is one to replicate for a cool city-girl ensemble every time. Scroll on to find out how.
This look is so intrinsically chic because of the colour combinations and fabrication. A camel coat is a timeless style that Mulligan has chosen in a structured silhouette to add an edge. The blue jeans pair nicely with the camel hues and add a relaxed feel that has become synonymous with London style. Finally, a great pair of black boots will finish off almost any look but are particularly stylish with a pointed toe.

If you're not a fan of heels, these Chelsea boots will be just as striking.
This all-black ensemble is sure to be a favourite amongst the minimalist aficionados. It's easy to coordinate but elevated with the contrasting textures of a wool coat, leather trousers and patent-leather boots. All in all, this is a definite winner.
