Initially I stopped Kate because she represented the female version of what I’ve been exploring in my menswear posts. Attention to detail, great leather accessories, and an emphasis on a classic – not trendy – approach to style is always in fashion. Her fantastic leather ankle boots and rolled Japanese denim jeans (with an on-trend boyfriend fit) lend a casual luxe vibe to her look. Let’s not forget about that interesting accessory of hers. Less fanny pack and more high-end utility belt, this intriguing purse belt with a craftsman touch is a chic way to keep essentials close at hand at summer music festivals or a day of shopping on Rush Street. What I love most of all is how Kate creates such a personal look while staying close to the tenets of classic American style.
