When it comes to Olivia Palermo's best looks, we don't play favorites. Regardless of the season, the event, or the color scheme she's going for, there's always some sort of style tip for the taking. This year, Olivia was a fashion mastermind, offering up sophisticated outfit ideas each time she stepped out, along with subtle little quirks we tried working into our own wardrobes.
In 2015, the influencer and jewelry designer experimented with plenty of mixed-media ensembles. She pulled back her hair and let voluminous gowns take center stage but always added her favorite accessories, like one golden chain-link cuff or skinny leather belts that added extra polish.
Read on for 43 tips we gleaned from Olivia in the past 12 months alone, and learn how to keep things looking fresh in 2016 — all the combinations here are surprisingly easy to pull off!
