It’s unpleasant to imagine a world where Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen don’t design clothing, but thankfully that’s not a burden we have to bear, because not only do we have The Row (aka every cool girl’s bible), we also get the more affordable yet equally enticing label Elizabeth and James. The latter just released its S/S 17 lookbook, and as expected—it’s a game changer.
Presented in a luxe, mostly neutral color palette, the collection offers a fresh assortment of shirting, a healthy dose of relaxed trousers, and interesting statement items like a twist-knot corset-style belt and a micro-pleat maxi dress. See below to peruse all of the looks, and then head over to shop Elizabeth and James’s best items for fall. (Hint: There’s a lot.)
