Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are champions of a subtle and sophisticated aesthetic that works particularly well in New York City, and yesterday in Manhattan, the twins showed just how chic an urban working wardrobe can be. Mary-Kate took a menswear-inspired approach to dressing with slouchy trousers and a striped oxford shirt that was finished with a triple-barrel cuff. She completed the laid back look with a pair of Grecian-style sandals and added a pop of color via an Elizabeth and James minimal red Eloise tote.
Taking a more traditionally feminine tack was sister Ashley in a cardi-coat and skirt. The belted topper was a nice fit for Olsen’s petite frame, while her crinkled, translucent skirt was a compelling alternative to a ladylike day dress. Heavy lace-up boots grounded the ensemble with grunge attitude, while oversized shades added a dose of rock star cool.
