STYLE HABITS
In a new series, we explore the tried, tested and invested methods of the world’s best-dressed women.
Style Habit #17
Create a color pop by going neutral everywhere else.
Who: Jeanette Madsen
Seen At: Paris Fashion Week
The Copenhagen-based influencer may design for a label known for its party dresses, but she can still bring the drama for day. Jeanette's shades of nude do the trick here, with a whimsical bag and platforms to ensure the look doesn't read too "lady".
How to Wear It
Style Habit #59
When in doubt, wear a white suit.
Who: Carolyn Murphy
Seen At: Chef for Kids’ Cancer in New York City
The model attends enough parties to know that the dress code isn't always clear. In that case, a classic white suit is the perfect thing—wear without anything underneath for evening.
Style Habit #11
Lady-like accessories balance out an otherwise masculine silhouette.
Who: Pernille Teisbaek
Seen At: Paris Fashion Week
The beauty of a trench is that it's a wardrobe chameleon—classic when the rest of your look is, too, and cool on the Scandi stylist when paired with trainers and a "now" bag.
Style Habit #46
The scarf print is a sleeper hit.
Who: Halima Aden
Seen At: Paris Fashion Week
It's far less expected than a stripe or polkadot—making it feel fresh and a bit retro-cool when you do see it. It's exactly the kind of thing Halima—a model and UNICEF ambassador—would reach for.
Style Habit #28
A hero jacket is all you need.
Who: Caroline de Maigret
Seen At: Paris Fashion Week
So "French" she wrote a book about it (How to Be Parisian Wherever You Are: Love, Style, and Bad Habits), the Chanel ambassador and music producer knows when to upgrade from all-black. Add a blazer in well-chosen hue as she did here.
Style Habit #34
A whimsical flat is a black tie hero.
Who: Alexa Chung
Seen At: The National Portrait Gallery’s Gala in London
Alexa is innately stylish enough to know that some dresses need a quirky edge. A pair of colored flats (in satin for evening) accomplish this.
