Amal Clooney Just Wore the 9-to-5 Version of Fall's Chicest Outfit Trend
I just love to talk about Amal Clooney's chameleon-like style. One evening, she'll be decked out in a glamorous, trendy look while out with husband George Clooney, and the next morning she'll be back to business attire for her career as a human rights barrister. That's exactly what occurred this week as she stepped out in a corporate-chic look after attending an event in NYC for her foundation in a white Versace gown the night before. But since we already discussed the bridal vibes of the gown, I'm here to talk about the morning-after look.
One of the biggest outfit trends right now is the combination of a long vest-like top and a slim maxi or midi skirt. Given how chic and effortless the outfit is, it's not surprising that it's been such a popular look over the past several months. Clooney opted for a gray pencil midi skirt and a long matching vest, which she accessorized with an oversize leather bag, a belt to cinch the vest at her waist (another on-trend element), and black pumps. Scroll on to see examples of the outfit trend (including on Clooney, of course), and shop it for yourself.
