Everybody has that one friend who always manages to look like the coolest girl in the room, no matter the situation. Lynette Nylander, who we met on set for her closet shoot, is now officially that “it” girl for us. The Alexander Wang VP of Content had no shortage of vintage tees, shit-kicker boots, electric-hued sneakers, or ruffled midi dresses in her arsenal. Essentially, it was everything you could ever need to put together a street-style-worthy outfit without thinking twice. Once our afternoon at her Brooklyn home was over, we left with more than a few styling tips as well as inspiration to do some serious damage to our credit cards. Consider Nylander’s wardrobe the inspirational prelude to the upcoming fashion month, aka shopping mania at its best.
Check out her three best tips below, and shop the 15 pieces inspired by her enviable wardrobe.
1. The brighter the bag the better
Nylander herself admitted she loves color and pattern, but especially within her collection of statement handbags. A classic Dior is far more interesting with a red, yellow, and green trim, or pick up the J.W. Anderson Pierce beauty in a bold cherry red. Your outfit will stand out infinitely more with a pop of color.
2. Boots go with everything
Clearly, an Alexander Wang veteran knows her way around a good pair of boots. And when she’s not rocking a kitten heel sandal, or a chunky sneaker, that means it’s time to bust out the boots—she even got a pair delivered in the midst of our shoot! From western to platform, an investment leather style will go a long way for your wardrobe.
3. A ladylike dress is more versatile than you think
And what better to pair with said boots that a voluminous, ruffled, or otherwise fabulous dress? Designer Molly Goddard even named one of her new styles after Nylander (check out the “Lynette” dress from her new line). Throw a cropped jacket and sneakers with your favorite dress for the office, then switch out with crystal earrings and a patent slingback for after-work drinks.
