Throwing a coat over one’s shoulders is hardly practical, yet it s a street style trick that has come to typify the look of effortless cool. And nailing it yesterday in Brooklyn was fashionable girl about town Olivia Palermo. Palermo loves experimenting with tricky-to-pull-off trends in her wardrobe, whether that s a daring Angelina Jolie–style slit or bold over-the-knee boots. This time around though, the look had subtle and sophisticated off-duty appeal.
A tan overcoat by Related Apparel provided a nod to menswear tailoring, though underneath her coat the silhouette was decidedly feminine, thanks to her sky-high Jimmy Choo booties and a thin waist-cinching belt from Reiss. The finishing touch? An eye-catching, tassel-trimmed Rebecca Minkoff bag.
