24-Hour Capsule Wardrobe: Emmanuelle Alt’s Day-to-Night Uniform
For the last four years, Emmanuelle Alt has stuck to a distinctive look: a tailored blazer tossed, a button-down shirt or a tee, cropped slim jeans, and either a sleek pump, sexy sandal, or ankle boot. Her devotion to her uniform even extends to black-tie affairs — others wear ballgowns; she chooses a tuxedo jacket and silk trousers. And unlike other street-style stars, the French Vogue editor-in-chief recycles her pieces, like a black leather belt with three gold buckles, photographed on several occasions. While Alt’s clothing is typically Balmain or Isabel Marant (where her husband serves as creative director), you can find similar items at J.Crew and Zara … or in your own closet. Click ahead to see how to get a day’s worth of Alt’s style.

Day Look Wearing white jeans in the winter is asking for slush splatters, but generic dark-wash skinnies just wouldn't feel as nonchalantly cool with a leopard coat. And consider these round toes an anomaly — Emmanuelle has a steady supply of sharp black ankle booties, which can elevate the simplest outfit.

Night Look In a sea of cocktail dresses and ballgowns, the gutsiest thing to wear to a black tie event is pants — and for a woman who lives in jeans and trousers, a dress would be wildly out of place, anyway. A tuxedo blazer, worn over a simple yet evening-appropriate top and silk trousers toes the masculine/feminine line. And you can actually sit, eat, and use the bathroom.
