It’s a week for rule-breakers and dress-code rejectors. First, the Cannes Film Festival received a touch of backlash after grande dames were turned away in their flat footwear ruffling some elegant hems, and now, we have fashionphile Olivia Palermo wearing La Perla s white suit the week before Memorial Day. However, instead of pairing the look with a button-down blouse and simple stilettos, the consummately chic New Yorker put her own twist on the summer staple with a few clever styling tricks.
Distinctive brooches accent Palermo’s lapels, giving her streamlined look a metallic touch and picking up the hue of her chain-link bracelet. To offset the prim nature of the suit, Palermo cuffed her sleeves and rolled up her trouser hems. She completed the look with a Hayward clutch in complementary colors and a pair of chartreuse sandals for a pop of color. If breaking the rules looks this good, then lock us up.
