Lily collins' low-key style: a lesson in effortless chic

Lily Collins just reminded us that you don't need bold patterns or bright colors to turn heads with your style. The actress opted for a low-key mom-off-duty look while strolling through London with her husband Charlie McDowell.

Casual cool with a touch of luxury

Collins paired a distressed leather jacket from Acne Studios with an olive green knit turtleneck, adding a bit of easy cool by popping the collar. Her breezy bottom half consisted of off-white cargo pants and taupe Adidas Spezial sneakers, providing a welcome contrast to her top.

The perfectly polished finishing touch was a quilted black Chanel 25 bag. This isn't the first time Collins has rocked the gender-neutral outfit and feminine It-bag combo, as seen in her monochromatic ensemble while filming Emily in Paris's fifth season in Italy.

So, for anyone who doesn't feel quite like an Emily Cooper, take this lesson away from Lily Collins' outfit formula: bold colors and patterns aren't the only way to stand out with style.
