Emma Watson’s Anti-Trend Jeans Outfit Feels So 2024 Thanks to This Styling Trick

Having arrived in Milan ahead of what I imagine is an appearance at Prada's A/W '24 show, Emma Watson stepped out in the classy and easy-to-copy ensemble that editors have been wearing to fashion week events all month long. Opting for a simple trench coat and jeans outfit, the actor updated her look with a very 2024 styling trick—casually slinging a camel knit over her shoulders and knotting it at the front. Bringing a relaxed yet smart element to her outfit, the draped knit balanced the polished nature of the blue cotton button-down she wore layered under her trench whilst adding a dose of colour and texture to the look.
Opting for light-wash jeans, black loafers and a beige trench, Watson took an anti-trend approach to her fashion week styling, focusing her ensemble around these wardrobe staples. Already spotted on showgoers across Copenhagen, New York and London Fashion Week, the style set is embracing this no-cost trick for its casual and preppy vibe, not to mention the extra warmth it provides on those early spring days.
Whilst Watson paired hers with reliable spring pieces, editors across the fashion month cities have been slinging theirs over boxy blazers or wearing them stacked up on top of other knits.
To achieve Watson's expertly styled smart-casual outfit, read on to shop.
