I Copied Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen's Outfits—See the Pics

The sisters have honed in on their uniform of dramatic coats accented by sleek, structured accessories. I wanted my version of the look to have the same overall effect, but short of sourcing their actual pieces, I instead put together the same key silhouettes. I was particularly inspired by the combination of a belted coat with heeled ankle boots and artful jewelry.

While I admire Olsens' adherence to all-black ensembles, I mixed black accessories with dark green to make the look my own and because head-to-black tends to look too severe on me. I certainly felt much more polished and my look much more restrained than usual.

After my fair share of Olsen outfit research, I realized how consistent Ashley is in her combination of skinny jeans with oversize pieces and simple, classic shoes. If we're being honest, the actual inspiration for my below look came from this exact image of Ashley Olsen I found late one night on Pinterest. In it, she's wearing black skinny jeans, loafers, and a white button-down shirt that seems to all but swallow her whole. Something about the dramatic silhouette of her shirt next to the fitted jeans just felt right. (For logistical reasons, I was not able to include it in this story.)

But alas, I was inspired to give her skinny jeans styling idea a go and paired mine with ballet flats and an oversize men's button-down. I took a cue from the above image where Ashley chose a croc-effect bag and finished off my outfit with a similar top-handle bag from Staud. It was much too warm in Los Angeles for a coat that day, but as soon as the weather permits, I'll be topping my look off with a long wool coat as she did here.
