5 Easy Ways to Dress Like a Calvin Klein Model

To make a button-down and plain trousers feel cool, think beyond black and white. Simons paired turtlenecks, often in surprising colors, underneath tailored shirts. Here’s one in a mustard yellow under a red blouse. Try grey under a denim shirt or dark green with a camel-colored top.

We’ve already witnessed cowboy boots and athletic pants make comebacks on their own, so it was only a matter of time before someone thought to couple them. The trick is to find a pair of boots that feel slick and modern (like this pair by Toga) and wear them with slim bottoms — otherwise you risk looking sloppy. The weird clash of green and red sells the look, but you can easily improvise with black track pants.

Props to Simons for reminding us that office clothes shouldn’t be boring. Take a break from the standard fitted blazer with something boxier that hits low at the hip, and pair it with a bright knit skirt.

While denim on denim can be an acquired taste, a darker wash feels more downtown hip and less Canadian tuxedo. You can also recycle the turtleneck from above by layering it underneath the jacket.

The yellow coat worn by Julia Nobis at Friday’s show was a genius, complicated creation … that cost $4,000. For a more affordable way to get the look, layer a yellow faux-fur coat underneath a transparent jacket. (This also happens to be a useful way to “waterproof” your coat.) This particular coat is nearly sold out but you can also try this colorful Topshop style.
