It may be the first day of spring, but you wouldn’t know it in New York, where temperatures are hovering in the 40s. Today, Elizabeth Olsen offered one way to meet the change in seasons when the calendar gets ahead of the mercury: a lighter, brighter color palette. When Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s younger sister stepped out this morning in Manhattan, she offered up the antidote to months of somber hues in the form of a Sportmax winter-white coat.
Olsen’s cocoon jacket bore a popcorn texture that paired nicely with a sleek white tote in a structured top-handle silhouette. She layered the piece over a heather gray scarf that, piled high, evoked a mod ’60s feel. Flat leather boots took a step in a similar retro direction, though Olsen’s were fashioned with a chunkier heel for a fresh twist on the style. The actress topped it all off with round tinted frames—an accessory that will prove equally useful in the sunnier days ahead.
