The Fashion Memo

The look: A hero coat

Clockwise from left: Coat Jil Sander; boots The Row; T-shirt Saint Laurent; earrings Alessandra Rich; bag Wandler; jeans APC; sunglasses Cartier

How do you add intrigue to a minimal outfit? By clashing textures and skillfully blending high and low pieces. Jil Sander’s PVC trench is a trophy piece of the highest order; make it sing by pairing it with blue denim and a subtle slogan tee in clean white. Want to dial up the drama even more? Apply a liberal helping of spring’s most covetable accessories: a structural leather bag (Wandler’s Hortensia style is an instant classic); of-the-moment statement earrings courtesy of Alessandra Rich; and The Row’s envy-inducing stiletto boots.
