This Get the Look is a rare thing: a universally flattering outfit that anyone can wear! It’s a refreshing change from our slouchy go-to jeans, and the all black color palette immediately dresses it up a bit. Plus, the cropped pant makes it all the better to show off your fun shearling shoes – whether they’re Pradas or Birkenstocks. It’s laid back luxe, in a practical way. This is one I’ll have on repeat for the rest of the month!
This isn’t a complicated outfit at all, but the key is in the proportions! You really need a cropped ankle, all the better to show off your shoes .Of course, style is all about personal taste – so we’re still giving you options. A traditional skinny never goes out of style. J. Crew’s Toothpick jean come in two versions: the higher rise and the lower rise. For those who like a wider silhouette, we love COS’s straight-leg pair. Gap’s classic straight jean is somewhere in between the two for a slightly retro 90s fit. Just like Gap’s heyday.
A black crewneck in winter is like a white tank top in summer: it always looks good and there are tons of ways to personalize it. Do you want it ribbed in cashmere, slouchy with dolman sleeves, or in an extra-cozy alpaca? Don’t forget to throw on a perfectly soft white t-shirt underneath to minimize trips to the dry cleaner and provide a pop of contrast!
The real star of this outfit is a big, fluffy pair of tan shearling shoes. The ultimate cozy winter shoe, these babies are like wearing your favorite slippers outside the house. If you feel like splurging, you can go for it with the proper Prada pair. A trusty pair of Birkenstocks with shearling lining does the job too, at a much lower price. Their Zermatt clog too!
Don’t forget to throw on a crisp, cat-eyed pair of black sunglasses. Consider it the cherry on top of your sartorial sundae. Go big in Saint Laurent, or get the look for less in Quay’s slightly squarer version.
