As the senior fashion editor of ELLE.com it's basically my job to study every sartorial move this dynamic duo makes. Both of them seem to delight in walking around in chic gym clothes on their days off so I thought, why not give it a try? Except our try was on a Monday afternoon at the office...which proved to be interesting. I was insanely comfortable all day, but I also felt pretty underdressed.
I get it, though. I can see why they prefer to lounge in clothes that make you wonder if they're coming or going from the gym. It's like, "Look at me, I worked out so I'm better then you...except I didn't actually work out. Or did I? You'll never know."
Fashion Tips
To determine if pearls are real, lightly rub them over your teeth. Fake pearls will be perfectly smooth, and real ones will feel slightly gritty or textured.
When you’re shopping for a jacket, coat, or blazer, pay attention to the fit around the shoulders. While a tailor can tweak pretty much everything about the fit of a jacket—from tapering the waist to shortening it—they can’t change the shoulders. Make sure the seams sit perfectly at the bony tops of your shoulders.
Chic up a sporty puffer vest by cinching the waist with a skinny belt.
Unless they’re cropped or tapered, pant hems should just graze the tops of your shoes and be from 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch off the floor.
Always dry-clean coats before storing them, and place on cedar hangers inside cloth garment bags. This preserves the fabric and keeps moths away.
If you have a small closet, never keep your shoes in clunky shoeboxes. Instead, always line up them on the floor.
Going to a winter wedding or formal event? Try wearing a sleeveless fur vest as a top, cinching it with a skinny belt or piece of ribbon and pairing it with a floor-length skirt.
