Marie Claire fashion editor Lauren Tappan and Who What Wear editor Aniyah Morinia got dressed for the same weekend brunch in May with the exact same white skirt outfit idea unintentionally pinned to their mental mood boards. The look was so straightforward that it made sense both defaulted to it—anyone could wear it well: a black top (tubular in Tappan's case, one-shouldered in Morinia's) tucked into a flowing white maxi skirt.
When the pair met up, "It didn’t take us long to realize that we were practically in the same exact outfit, and we both immediately broke out in laughter," Tappan tells me. By the time they made it to their Washington Square brunch, they were seeing double and triple. A woman at a table near them was wearing a black T-shirt and white maxi shirt; so were a dozen other strangers milling around the park.
