Most of the time, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen [1] design for their own taste and style [2]. They design pieces for both The Row and Elizabeth and James that are wearable, roomy, well-tailored, and sleek but functional all at the same time. The duo is typically spotted showing off the looks they create [3], and that's not limited to clothes.
Both Mary-Kate and Ashley have been wearing these stretch sandals from The Row [4] this Summer, but Ashley just debuted a flat white combat boot from the label's Fall 2017 collection [5]. The shoe is a touch more old-school than your classic platform boot, complete with Victorian elements instead of edgier details. It comes in a distressed suede and the patent shade Ashley's wearing, and clearly, it has its place in the Summer too [6].
Ashley worked her own pair with a silk skirt, aviators, and a leather bag from her line, and she doubled up on oversize cardigans. The boots, which are a rather unexpected, grungy choice for the sophisticated Ashley, struck such a stark contrast that they became the clear focal point of her look, screaming "buy me." You know, to make the transition to Fall [7], of course. Read on to get inspired, then shop Ashley's footwear along with similar options.
