Ashley Olsen [1] clearly knows the value of a good styling hack. The outfit loyalist, who relies mainly on streamlined coats, tailored separates, tunics, and flats in some combintation, isn't one to completely switch up her style; but she is down with swapping out her handbags. While out in NYC, she stuck to her signature look [2] — classic coat, neutral sweater, and trousers — but toted a fresh, graphic bag that gave the whole look a bold-faced update. Sure, the understated outfit looks like it could be from almost any time in the last few years, but the bag gives it a sense of nowness. A pretty convincing way to upgrade your basics, no? Read on to see how it's done.
