With so many years spent at the epicentre of Hollywood, I'd find it hard to rattle off Angelina Jolie's accomplishments due to their sheer volume—actor, filmmaker, altruist, humanitarian and, yes, fashion icon. This being Who What Wear UK, I'm here primarily to talk about the latter, namely her latest on-point outfit.
Keeping her daily style low-key and polished, Jolie favours head-to-toe outfits in dark shades and voluminous, flowy designs. This week, however, she took an unusual approach to her weekday styling. Leaving her long black dresses in her wardrobe, she emerged in New York wearing a cosy grey cardigan from Ryan Roche and black trousers—a marked difference from the dress and skirt outfits she usually opts for.
While Jolie's chunky knit is a cosy staple most of us would usually reserve for weekends, her thoughtful styling swaps made the warm knit feel supremely elegant. Instead of pairing her dark grey knit with jeans—as I would be all too tempted to do—Jolie dressed up her look by opting for a pair of chic wide-leg trousers instead. Letting her trousers drape down to the floor, Jolie added inches to her height by wearing a pair of the Celine Elena Platform Mules (£890) instead of the ballet flats that she normally reaches for. Streamlining her look while adding height and glamour, Jolie saved her cardigan from looking too casual for her outing.
Slinging a black pouch around her wrist and accessorising with a large pair of black sunglasses, I'm excited to emulate Jolie's elegant take on cardigan styling this winter.
