Maybe it’s the fact that I’m the eldest daughter, or perhaps I can blame it on my Virgo moon, but I have a very formulaic apporach to many aspect of my life—particualrly when it comes to getting dressed. I find that keeping a few simple styling formulas top of mind makes my mornings so much smoother. That’s why I’m always eager to build out my styling repertoire by pinning down timeless outfit combinations made up of wardrobe staples. Which brings me to Elsa Hosk’s easy to emulate look.
Rather than piling on heavy layers she’d inevitably peel off minutes later, Hosk opted for a lighter approach that suits these early winter days. Starting off with a vintage Chanel number, Elsa's white jacket was detailed with elegant black piping and cut to a hip-grazing finish with a fitted feel throughout. The white layer brought a distinct brightness to her look, which feels refreshing set against these early winter days.
Building a classic look, Hosk skipped both baggy jeans and trending flares in favour of a timeless straight-leg cut. Skimming the legs without clinging, this polished denim silhouette feels more refined than any of the other styles all over my feed.
As for accessories, she leaned into preppy staples with a pair of sleek loafers and brought a modern edge to her look by means of Chanel’s highly hyped 25 handbag, rendered in sumptuous suede.
Poised, considered, but not fussy, Elsa, I'll be coming back to this formula throughout the rest of the season. If you are too, read on to shop her outfit, along with my edit of the white jackets, jeans and loafers to recreate it.
