If Ashley Olsen Is Your Style Aesthetic, This Is the Jacket To Wear This Winter
If you covet the easy elegance and cool sophistication of Ashley Olsen, there are some key pieces to collect to tap into her style aesthetic. Seasonless pieces such as leather loafers, column skirts, a crocodile bag, wayfarer sunglasses, and poplin shirts are just a handful of the staples Olsen relies on throughout the year. For winter, though, it’s all about the scarf jacket.
Found in Ashley Olsen’s wardrobe as well as in recent runway collections for The Row during Paris Fashion Week, the scarf jacket is one of her key outerwear pieces once the temperatures drop during the cold winter months. Designed with a draped cape at the shoulders or a scarf that wraps around the neck, the outerwear piece has become synonymous with fashion insider style in cities like Paris and New York.
