A quick google search of Mary-Kate and Ashley and you garner just a small glimpse into the media frenzy surrounding the two megastars. A brief synopsis of the sisters goes a little something like this: twins, child actors, movie stars, members of the elite 'young Hollywood' set, co-presidents of their film production company Dualstar, credited on the Forbes 'Celebrity 100' list, figure heads of their multi-million pound fashion empire, fashion designers, style icons… The list goes on and on.
I know that much has been written about their fashion choices especially as they have matured, going from well dressed teens to bonafide fashion moguls. Despite their film star roots the sisters have been welcomed by the prestigious CFDA, receiving the award for womenswear designers of 2012 and most recently of all, Ashley being named as one of the board members.
In a sea of Hollywood wannabes, all awash with blonde hair, sun kissed skin and the will to succeed in such a competitive industry, Mary-Kate and Ashley could quite easily have faded into obscurity. However, their innate style has made their transition from the tween set to fashion icons a remarkably smooth process.
Despite their previous packaging as adorable twin sisters, Mary-Kate and Ashley have worked hard to establish themselves as individual young women. However it may still be difficult for some to tell the fashionable siblings apart. To aid in this 'spot the difference' I thought I'd do a quick breakdown of the sisters' individual fashion styles.
MK is slightly more grungy in my opinion, being the epitome of 'shabby chic', or as it has not so kindly been termed, 'homeless chic'. Ashley on the other hand seems to stick to more classic styles and shapes, having what I would imagine is a wardrobe full of the most desirable basics.
As the title would suggest, I'm not really contributing anything new to the discourse surrounding the infamous twosome. I'd merely like to express my appreciation for their impeccable style. So here's two thumbs up and a little collection of my all time favourite Olsen ensembles. You're welcome.
(They do distressed denim like nobody else. IN. LOVE)
(I'm majorly feeling the simplicity of these looks. Plus their glowy skin is to die.)
(It's all about MK's kimono is this photo for me.)
(Matching leather and waves. Perfect combo.)
(There is no reason that your coat should hide your outfit. Ever. As these two prove, a good cover up can make an outfit.)
(A lesson in the power and multi-purposeness of a good white tee.)
(I. NEED. THIS. IN. MY. LIFE. Sigh)
(Vintage tee + jewels = perfection)
(Bright and short is not a look often seen on MK but it's a refreshing change. Bandage skirts are a definite go-to on those 'I have nothing to wear' days.)
(Another coat I would literally sell a kidney for. Maybe not but you get my longing.)
(Ashley showing the fashion panache of a white tee and a good pair of jeans.)
(And lastly I thought this was quite apt for the current weather conditions we're having.)
