24-Hour Wardrobe: How to Get Sofia Coppola’s Subtle Chic Day-to-Night

Over time, many people develop a particular uniform —  a neutral sheath day after day, or perhaps some iteration of a blouse and jeans. While these habits do streamline your morning routine, sometimes you get the itch to delve into someone else’s clothes for a day. In our new feature, “24-Hour Wardrobe,” we explore the signature “day” and “evening” look of a stylish fashion personality. First up: filmmaker and Marc Jacobs muse Sofia Coppola. Known for attention to subtle detail, Coppola commands attention with her neutral yet well-cut pieces accented with classic accessories, like her namesake Louis Vuitton bag or a simple clutch. Rather than teeter in sky-high, over-embellished heels, she chooses minimal shoes with a practical height and a sturdy — yet sleek — ankle strap. She keeps jewelry to a minimum to quietly complement her look. No matter how much fun it can be to grab everyone’s attention in over-the-top pieces, sometimes it’s chicer to be the understated woman in the room. Click ahead to see a breakdown of each look and how to get it at every price point.

Day Look Look pulled together without doing backflips by choosing simple pieces that can be easily mixed and matched. Here, she pairs a printed silk blouse with cropped black pants, and anchors the look with a pair of low wedges that offer height but no discomfort. A small Chanel purse and stacked resin bangles add polish.

Night Look For an evening affair, a cream silk blouse and black wrap skirt get cinched with a rhinestone belt, which adds sparkle in lieu of flashy statement jewelry. A small black crocodile clutch adds textural contrast and holds the essentials, while a minimalist sandal is evening-appropriate but won’t compete with the clean silhouette.
