Street Style: Dress Like a Fashion Editor

Take cues from these effortlessly-cool media mavens on-the-move who make the rules, then break them.

By Celia L. Smith · Updated October 27, 2020
01
Polished-Chic: Shiona Turini

Shiona Turini, Fashion Market Director, Cosmopolitan / @shionat

Turini layers like a pro yet keeps it polished and pulled together. A tonal grey base: jacket, trousers and pumps play well with a printed blouse and the navy color pop.

This black and white story is anything but basic when you pair classics with a bold statement skirt and ankle booties that play up the striped pattern.

Polished Chic: Shiona Turini

Heres another look layered with love. An all-black base of leather leggings and a tee is the perfect backdrop for piled on prints and a white pea coat to neutralize the situation.

Sporty Spice: Rajni Lucienne Jacques

Rajni Lucienne Jacques, Fashion Editor, Yahoo Style / @rajni_jacques

Jacques serves sporty to the max, balancing Met’s memorabilia with a classic camel coat and undeniably sexy red pumps and skinny jeans.

Sporty Spice: Rajni Lucienne Jacques

A cropped top, mini skirt and thigh-high boots is balanced by a flannel borrowed from the boy.

No athletic ensemble is complete without Nike. Rajni juxtaposes her crop top with light layers, a trench and buckled boots.

Casual Cool – Nicole Chapoteau

Nicole Chapoteau, Accessories Director, Allure Magazine / @chapoteau

It’s nothing for Chapoteau to whip up an ensemble that exudes effortless cool. Take this look for example, layering a low-key moto jacket and military anorak with a midi skirt and platform boots feels high fashion in a relaxed way.

Casual Cool – Nicole Chapoteau

Shirt-dressing is so chic in a pair of black boots and a clutch.

The mom-to-be transitions a similar shirtdress into a maternity moment with a waist-cinching style and feminine gold flats.

Downtown Vibes: Tiffany Reid

Tiffany Reid, Market Editor, Allure Magazine / @ms_tiffreid

Only an editor can transform a men’s shirt into a skirt, mix it with a moto jacket, sneakers and a petite Chanel purse for kicks.

Downtown Vibes: Tiffany Reid

When on the street, always top a fancy-feeling look with a biker jacket just to balance things out.

Take it from Reid, red accessories is a tried and true way to make any look pop.

Bohemian Rhapsody: Chioma Nnadi

Chioma Nnadi, Fashion News Director, VOGUE / @nnadibynature

It’s the little details that matter with Nnadi’s nomadic, gypsy style dress. Layered necklaces, a saddled-colored belt and patterned purse pull the look together.

Bohemian Rhapsody: Chioma Nnadi

Looking to resurrect wide-leg trousers this season? A simple zipped knit, low heels and John Lennon-esque sunnies are key to completing the look.

Bohemian Rhapsody: Chioma Nnadi

This simple 70s look was brought to you with a flowy blouse, midi skirt and low-block heels.

Preppy-Cool: Nikki Ogunnaike

Nikki Ogunnaike, Online Style Editor, Glamour.com / @nikkiogun

Bring you “Uptown Girl” with a downtown twist is Ogunnaike’s M.O. Take this look for instance, a jean jacket layered genuisly under a biker style with hot pink, wide leg trousers to shake things up even further.

Preppy-Cool: Nikki Ogunnaike

This denim look does it for us. A chambray and matching skinny jeans are a match made in heaven  for leopard platforms and a fiery tote.

Preppy-Cool: Nikki Ogunnaike

A pretty polka-dot skirt plays well with a sporty bomber jacket and a simple ankle-strap style in Ogunnaike’s world.

Classic-Cool: Chrissy Rutherford

Chrissy Rutherford, Digital Editor, Harper BAZAAR / @chrissyford

This über chic editor couldn’t make classics look any cooler. Tonal ivory pieces styled beneath a camel coat and dark shades is clearly an epic fall fashion moment.

Classic-Cool: Chrissy Rutherford

The cozy coatigan gets cooler when you follow Rutherford’s lead and again, pair monochromatic pieces beneath with popping accessories.
