Fact: New York women have mastered the art of always—and I mean always—looking chic. Whether they’re lounging at home or dressing up for a date night, there’s a certain elevated sense of style that’s become the city’s signature. Since many of us have spent the past several months of wearing nothing but sweatpants and leggings, it’s time we turn to our NYC friends for some (much-needed) styling inspiration.
One of the city’s especially stylish inhabitants is Amy Julliette Léfevre, a model and Instagrammer who’s called New York home for the past four years. If you’re one of the 200K followers Léfevre counts on the platform, you’d know that despite our new stay-at-home lifestyle, her style hasn’t wavered one bit. In fact, she’s continued to wear outfits that are as simple as jeans and a tank but somehow always elevated and incredibly chic. As fans of her style, we tapped Léfevre the share the ultimate style rules that dictate her everyday outfits.
From her expert jewelry layering game to her enviable collection of handbags, see her best styling tips in action and shop pieces to incorporate them into your own outfits.
“This is probably my primary go-to rule. You can find me using stacked necklaces everywhere I go. I mix jewelry brands that I love to create the layering effect with 4-6 necklaces. Most of the necklaces are a simple design but I usually have the last necklace with a bigger pendant. A few of my favorite brands: Logan Hollowell, Mejuri, Astrid & Miyu.”
“One of the primary accessories that I use to dress up any outfit is a strong statement bag. For example, I will wear a set of sweats–I love the pink Ragdoll LA matching set–and dress it up with one of my BY FAR bags to wear on a coffee run or to meet clients. Some bags bring so much magic to an outfit!”
“I frequently don an oversized blazer over almost any basics. I will wear it with a t-shirt or even a sports bra for a laid back but still sophisticated look. Try it, it’s a super easy look and really comfortable!”
“It is summer so it is the perfect time to break the midi to long dresses out. I am especially loving long form-fitted cuts! I feel so empowered when I wear them and they are also super comfy. Some of my favorites are TROIS the Label, RAT & BOA, and House of CB long fits.”
Another outfit trick I noticed when scrolling through Léfevre’s expertly-curated feed is her affinity for matching sets. Whether it be a silky crop top and skirt set or something as casual and comfy as a sweatshirt and sweat shorts, coordination makes for a pulled-together look no matter the context of the outfit.
