Olivia Palermo is one of New York City’s fashion chameleons: One moment she’ll embrace boyish separates like tailored waistcoats and biker boots, the next she’ll amp up the feminine factor in frilly frocks with ladylike accessories. Yesterday in Manhattan, she leaned toward the former look, freshening things up with one key styling trick: no socks, no problem.
Olivia Palermo stepped out in frayed Black Orchid skinnies topped off with Topshop’s vintage-inspired army jacket, a mannish staple softened by floral embroidery along the shoulder. This detail color-coordinated with her ruby Louis Vuitton duffel bag, while a fluid bow-tied Misha Nonoo blouse lent further polish to the mix. But it was her Givenchy chain-trimmed brogues that stole the show. Palermo went sockless—appropriately enough for summer—and the cropped, scissored hem of the jeans further emphasized that unexpected slice of skin. Come fashion month, it would be an ace move for sure-footed move.
