Like so many others, I’ve spent plenty of time curating a capsule wardrobe, a tight edit of pieces and outfit formulas I can rely on season after season.
For most of us, this kind of tight edit feels necessary to pull together chic outfits in a rush. Celebrities, however, with stylists on speed dial and wardrobes that rotate at speed, rarely repeat looks like we do. Except, that is, for Margot Robbie.
Despite having access to a far more expansive wardrobe than my own, the actor appreciates the ease of a go-to formula. In fact, I've come to realise that she seems to lean on the very same three-piece combination whenever she visits New York: a chic, slightly oversized blazer, mid-wash blue jeans (often high-waisted), and a pointed-toe shoe, alternating between boots and heels.
A simple trio with a polished effect, the blazer brings structure and sleekness, the jeans add an effortless energy and the pointed-toe footwear elongates her frame whilst adding an element of sharpness. These are always super-stylish yet wearable looks that feel perfectly in step with New York’s smart-casual styling rhythm.
During multiple trips to the city, Robbie has repeated this combination with only the slightest tweaks—sometimes a crisp shirt, sometimes a slouchy tee; sometimes a classic black blazer, sometimes a check print. But the simple formula always remains the same.
Inspired by the versatility, ease and elegance of Margot's New York styling formula, read on to discover my edit of the best blazers, jeans and pointed-toe shoes.
Shop Blazers, Jeans and Pointed-Toe Shoes:
Style with the coordinating shorts or pair with jeans à la Margot.
Shop the matching Pleat-Front Mini Shorts (£20).
These also come in 18(!) other washes.
These come up slightly small, so consider sizing up.
The wool composition will keep you cosy.
Honestly, these look more expensive than they actually are.
The mid heel adds a little extra height without sacrificing comfort.
Every great wardrobe starts with a classic black blazer.
Style with a simple white tee then layer with a boxy blazer.
These will go with so many outfits.
The chocolate-brown colour trend isn't showing any signs of slowing down.
In my opinion, high-waisted jeans will never go out of style.
Wear these under jeans or style with a swishy skirt.
