Although you likely own a handful of vintage jeans, styling them in an elevated way isn't the easiest of tasks. The next time you draw a blank when piecing together an outfit, look towards Kat Graham for a quick lesson on how to style vintage jeans in a new and exciting way. The actor proves that just a few polished pieces can take your look to the next level.
Graham was photographed in New York City on Mon. in a sophisticated version of a casual classic. The actress wore a pair of straight-leg cropped jeans by the popular vintage retailer RE/DONE, which feature a loose fit and a raw hem. She kept warm by tucking in her sleek black Valentino turtleneck, finishing off the look with a longline, structured black trench.
Graham's choppy bob allowed her to show off the sleek tuxedo-like lapels on the coat, which added an element of sophistication to the otherwise relaxed look. The actor accessorized with a pair of black suede pointed pumps and an embroidered top-handle bag with a crossbody chain, both by Dior. She made the look extra appropriate for the fall season with a rich, cranberry lipstick that added just the right amount of color.
Graham's effortless outfit formula can help elevate even your most comfortable or distressed vintage denim. Simply add a sleek black turtleneck and a cozy trench, and use your accessories to determine how dressy you want the look to turn out. Try a pair of suede pumps and a purse with metal hardware for a night out, add a pair of loafers and a tote for long day at the office, or throw on snakeskin ankle boots and an on-trend belt bag for an edgy take on a fall brunch look.
This outfit is a refined version of the jeans and t-shirt that you've been leaning on for years, complete with plenty of options for personal interpretation. However you choose to wear it, you'll love the flexibility of this simple combination.
