6 Outfits to Get You Through the End of 2017

Ever really thought about how far a graphic T-shirt can take you? Kohl layered her soon-to-be-everywhere Gucci tee with a black turtleneck (the chic yet easy layering solution that works every time) and her favorite pair of jeans. “I love mixing vintage with new, so I made sure to sneak in my vintage Levi’s. Denim is so versatile—you can wear it casually, or you can dress it up.” (Hear, hear!)

We’re only one outfit in, and we already have a solution to our day-to-night dressing woes. The aforementioned T-shirt? It works just as well once the sun goes down. Kohl styled the piece with a jacquard Gucci skirt to amp up the red tones, and she didn’t skimp on accessories. Her objective? Finding a statement piece that really changed her look, and these butterfly earrings more than fit the bill. “They’re whimsical yet elegant,” she explains. “I love fashion that doesn’t take itself too seriously.” We think this is the perfect look for an office party, don’t you? 

Where daytime looks are concerned, every girl needs a go-to outfit that’s both super chic and comfortable enough to get her wherever she needs to go. Which is where Gucci’s stunning silk dress comes in: Kohl layered a sweater on top and paired it with the knit duster seen ’round the world. The clashing colors and bohemian touches in the mix make for a fashion girl–approved outfit that’ll look as great at brunch as it would for a day at the museum.

A few simple swaps and ta-da: You get this unbelievably cool, boho-glam evening ensemble. Kohl peeled off her layers to unveil the bold multicolor Gucci dress, which she paired with aqua-blue and gold fur-trimmed flats that let the dress do most of the talking. “Gucci is like a disco fairytale,” Kohl tells us. “There’s really no easy way of describing it. It’s iconic and classic, but also so fresh and young.” The other must-have piece for the outfit’s evening transformation? An iconic Gucci bag, of course.

Let’s face it: Our outfits are often dictated by the whims of our moods. “Art is a way I express myself emotionally,” Kohl says. “I think that fashion can do the same thing. Some days I want to wear bright energetic colors and patterns; other days I just want to wear all-black.” For those darker days, layer in pieces like a silk pussybow blouse that makes a statement like this Gucci version does (notice those studs?).

“The Gucci woman is passionate in everything she does,” Kohl explains. “She is strong, confident. and not afraid to express herself.” And this, ladies and gentlemen, is what we call the ultimate Gucci look. The same blouse that injected a burst of color into her daytime look now acts as a statement piece to pair back with more prints. This print-on-print look is one of our favorites and a serious contender for our NYE party.
