As a fashion editor, I’m always on the lookout for ways to make my outfits look more elevated. From investing in quality fabrics, like the best cashmere jumpers, to taking the time to ensure my outfits feel curated and considered, I want to look expensive (no matter how much my outfit may have actually cost). And, this weekend, Carey Mulligan stepped out in one of my favourite fashion hacks for channeling just such an aesthetic - one that countless stylish women rely on to look effortlessly elegant day to day.
If you happened to spot her at the Sundance Film Festival, you most likely took note of her chic yet understated look. Wearing a long winter coat, simple round neck jumper, flared trousers and boots, all from Prada, she was the epitome of chic sophistication yet if you happened to pass her on the street, you may think she was just another well dressed woman and not an A-list celebrity. Such is the power of this look, it’s elegant and expensive looking yet understated enough for wearing everyday.
