Few have captured the fashion world—and beyond—quite like the Olsen twins. They’ve moved past their early fame to build a respected brand, The Row, yet their mystique only grows. Their private lives leave us wanting more, and their understated, “less is more” style has made them icons. As a devoted fan, I find myself collecting rare paparazzi shots and street style photos for inspiration. With fall on the way, it’s the perfect time to revisit their best cold-weather looks—after all, when I think of autumn style, I think of the Olsens. And no one wears clothes quite like they do.

The Olsens’ personal style is a perfect match for fall and winter, defined by oversized layers: luxurious coats, loose but substantial trousers, and high-quality knits. When the temperature drops below 65 degrees, I start my day by asking, “What would Ashley Olsen do?” She’d tuck her hair behind her ears and layer a tailored coat over a crisp button-up. On a chilly weekend, I wonder, “What would Mary-Kate wear to grab coffee?” She’d carry a slouchy tote, wear relaxed trousers, and finish with a standout jacket.

For many, including us at Vogue, the Olsens are a constant source of style inspiration. This year, it’s clear that the trending items on our wish lists are also the staples of their wardrobes—from smoking loafers and cashmere sweaters to tailored coats and black leggings. So how can you channel their style this fall? Start with the basics, like a tailored coat from Tove or Victoria Beckham. Upgrade your button-up collection with a striped shirt from The Frankie Shop or a pale blue option from Toteme. For another minimalist essential, try Everlane’s wide-leg trousers or sturdy combat boots from Aeyde or Gucci. Below, the Olsen fall wardrobe starter pack—pieces you’ll wear all season and beyond.
