Do you ever wake up and just ask yourself, "What would the Olsen twins do?" I do regularly. This winter, I've found myself on a side of TikTok that also does the same. The current focus is on how Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen often head out with their hair effortlessly tucked into their neckline. Phoebe Philo is also known for this chic look.

To masterfully pull off this look, I've narrowed down three key pieces that the Olsens swear by: turtleneck sweaters, oversize coats, and thick scarves. If you add one or more of these to your look and pay special attention to the placement of your hair, you'll get the Olsen twin essence that we all seem to be going for. Keep scrolling to shop my top picks for trying the viral "Olsen tuck" trend with ease.
