Amal Clooney dashes out of a New York hotel wearing a crisp white suit. But you know Amal — it's never as simple as that. The stylish lawyer [1] and human rights activist is always one step ahead, showing off her sophisticated fashion sense in next season's boots [2] or switching up a work suit [3] with a snakeskin collar or mismatched pumps.

This time, Ms. Clooney layered a colorblock turtleneck beneath her Manning Cartell duster coat [4] ($799) and flared trousers. Printed with purple stripes, it complemented her cat-eye Salvatore Ferragamo sunglasses, a vibrant salute to Spring. Completing her outfit with pumps, a leather bag, and her engagement ring, Amal could have been ready for a day at the office or off to somewhere a bit more fun (brunch, perhaps?). But that's Amal's style secret [5]: her looks are always appropriate for anything. Read on to get inspired, then scoop up her essentials.
