How to Dress Like the Olsen Twins This Winter

How to Dress Like the Olsen Twins This Winter

For many, including us at Vogue, the Olsen twins are a go-to for style inspiration—but this year it’s clear that the trending items on our wish lists are what makes up the foundation of their wardrobes, from smoking loafers and cashmere sweaters to shearling coats and black leggings. So, how can you embrace Olsen style this winter? Start with the basics, like a tailored coat from Another Tomorrow or Aritzia. Then, make sure to upgrade your button-up shirt collection with a striped option from Róhe or a bright blue piece from Toteme, which is always favored. Craving another minimalist must-have of theirs? Look to Fforme’s wide-leg Maud trousers for an effortless look, and a pair of combat boots from Aeyde or Gucci. Below, the Olsen winter wardrobe starter pack featuring the pieces you’ll wear through the season, and after.

The Ultra-Tailored Coat

Each season, a new tailoring trend emerges and takes over the outerwear market. The Olsens have always gravitated towards ultra-tailored coats that are crafted with precision. Look for blazer-like details like the ones in Aritzia’s The Constant coat, or the sharp lines punctuating Another Tomorrow’s double-faced trench.

The Poplin Shirt

This wouldn’t be an Olsen’s style guide without mention of button-down shirting. Both sisters have a vast arsenal of cotton poplin shirts—from tailored versions to oversized silhouettes. Favorite Daughter’s comes in clean white, while Toteme’s and & Other Stories are cast in poppy red and bright blue for minimalist-approved pop of color.

The Top-Handle Carryall

The best top-handle bags vary in size and shape, but the Olsen’s often prefer a bowling silhouette that is big enough to store all daily essentials, and more. Coach’s Empire 40 bag made waves this year thanks to its vintage-inspired shape and roomy interior. For a new-now accessory, The Row’s India bag is sure to become the next crowd-favorite.

The Statement Shearling Coat

Pared-back, layer-able black and grey coats are essential for winter, but the shearling coat is here to keep you warm, and stylish all season long. Take a cue from the Olsen handbook and look for shaggy details, longline shapes, and reversible designs.

The Off-Duty Outfit

From classic crewnecks to baggy turtlenecks, cashmere sweaters can bring a comforting softness to any occasion, whether at the office or reading in the park. The Olsen’s l-o-v-e their knitwear, and are usually spotted in neutral hues with ribbed hemlines. To achieve their winter look, pair yours with elevated leggings—like stirrup styles or split-hems.

The Combat Boot

If knee-high boots are the perfect boot for evening’s out on the town, then the combat boot is the ideal footwear choice for relaxed weekends and errands. There are plenty of minimalist styles to channel their energy, like Miu Miu’s sleek lug sole, or Aeyde’s unfussy lace-up.

The Slouchy Trouser

You’ll probably never spot Mary-Kate or Ashley wearing a fitted trouser—the two prioritise comfort above all else. For an affordable find, Cos’s are designed in a lightweight wool-blend twill, and tailored into a relaxed shape. Looking to make a big purchase? Fforme and The Row have luxe wide-leg options you’ll own for decades.

The Classic Loafer

Loafers, loafers, loafers! We can’t get enough. Whether they come in suede, leather, or in a chunky silhouette, the loafer has staying power. The Olsens prefer a classic silhouette, often wearing styles from The Row. But you don’t have to break the bank to achieve this winter vibe! Zara has a patent leather pair and Madewell’s chocolate brown is croc-embossed.

The Winter White

Few things are quite as chic and effortless as a head-to-toe winter white outfit. Maybe it’s the matchy-matchy aspect of it all, or the welcome challenge to survive the day without a stain, but we’re here for it and so are the Olsen twins. Go full steam ahead with a crisp white coat from Cinzia Rocca, plus accessories from Khaite and Toteme.

The Modern Party Top

We’re still embracing the artful top in all its forms, from knitwear to silky evening-ready options, for the new season. The best modern party tops find a balance between staple and investment—with liquid-like textures defining them. For an Olsens’s-approved tone on your next night out, look for cape-like draping and soft fabrics from Magda Butrym, Khaite, The Sei, and Massimo Dutti.
