The Olsen Twins are two women who stand as the pantheon of impeccable style. Though if we were to dissect what about the way they dress—from their innocuous oversized coats to their penchant for fluid knitwear—you’ll notice that their style often embraces the tenets of cold weather dressing. It’s this precise reason that every time the mercury drops, those with taste turn to their off-duty wardrobes for guidance on the autumn fashion trends that we should all collectively be adopting.

Based between Paris and New York City, the film-starlets-turned-fashion-designers have not only adopted but helped shape the artistic bohemian and elegantly minimalist sensibilities of these cities. As such, you’ll often see them flittering about in something monochromatic and oversized, be it punctuated with satin slippers or an ultra-rare Margaux bag only available for their ultra-high-net-worth customers.

These exact items aren’t groundbreaking by any means. And, of course, for those with the means and access, versions of their own pieces are made available for you to shop at The Row, from their gathered loafers to wide-leg trousers and boyfriend-cut shirting. However, what makes Mary-Kate and Ashley’s autumn wardrobe so singular is the way in which they style these pieces.

Though it might be controversial to say, I truly don’t think there’s anything inconspicuous or stealthily wealthy about the way the pair dress. Despite them becoming the poster girls for a vein of quiet luxury adhered to by their brand, the founders themselves take a more eclectic approach to fashion. That’s why you’ll often see them bundled up under Kashmiri pashminas sourced by artisans in India. Or wearing beat-up Birkenstocks with chunky socks and a ginormous beanie when out for dinner.
