Recreating Jacob Elordi’s MWF Look
We all love when Jacob Elordi makes an appearance on the scene. This weekend he attended the Bottega Veneta in Milan. As the face of the brand, the Euphoria actor, wore a chic head to toe Bottega Veneta look. So I thought today we could recreate it, but for less than Bottega prices.
Let’s start from the top. You’ll need a regular fit white tee. Something that lays nicely under a cardigan. I really love this mid-weight tee from COS.
For the cardigan, this Jamieson’s one is perfect. If you haven’t heard of Jamieson’s of Shethland you must go check them out. They make amazing 100% wool piece that will last you a life time.
For pants, we’ll go for white straight leg trousers like these from Casatlantic.
For shoes, these Our Legacy one’s are pretty similar to the mules he is wear.
Now, for accessories. This Anthropologie bag makes for a good alternative for Jacob’s ludicrously capacious bag Bottega bag.
For sunglasses, these Ray Ban’s will do.
I can’t fully tell what watch he is wearing but it looks like a Cartier tank. I think this Fossil is a great dupe.
For the necklace, I couldn’t find the one he was wearing but I like this one from A.P.C as an alternative.
So there you have it, a very chic outfit inspired by Jacob Elordi - for a fraction of the price.
A Fashion App You Need To Elevate Your Style
People often ask me how to develop personal style. One of my biggest pieces of advice is to steal from your favorite influencers. Copying stylish outfits is a great way to learn what you like and what works for you. However, I know how frustrating it can be when you see something online that you love and it’s not tagged.
My gift to you: Screenshot - Clothing Finder. This app has made my life so much easier. It is one of the most curated and accurate reverse image search engines I have come across.
The app works as the name insinuates. You just take a screenshot of an outfit you like. Upload it to the app. Circle the item you are looking for. And let the app do its thing. Simple.
20 Pre-Loved Finds Under $500
Recently, the only designer items I am willing to buy is pre-loved. I suppose this is for multiple reason. For one, sustainability - duh. And secondly, it’s so much more cost effective. Pre-owned luxury is typically priced at a fraction of the price that it is in stores.
So I scoured the internet for the best pre-loved designer items out there right now, so you don’t have to.
