I'm an NYC-Based Model, and These Are the 5 Style Rules I Live By

Fact: New York women have mastered the art of always—and I mean always—looking chic. Whether they're lounging at home or dressing up for a date night, there's a certain elevated sense of style that's become a signature for the city's women. Since many of us have spent the past several months wearing nothing but sweatpants and leggings, it's time we turn to our NYC friends for some (much-needed) styling inspiration.

One of the city's especially stylish inhabitants is Amy Julliette Léfevre, a model and Instagrammer who's called New York home for the past four years. If you're one of the 200k followers Léfevre can count on her platform, you'd know that despite our new stay-at-home lifestyle, her style hasn't wavered one bit. In fact, she's continued to create outfits, some as simple as jeans and a tank, that are always elevated and incredibly chic. So as fans of her style, we tapped Léfever to share the ultimate style rules she lives by and, well, we're officially inspired.

From her expert jewelry layering game to her enviable collection of handbags, see her best styling tips in action and shop some pieces to incorporate into your own outfits.

"This is probably my primary go-to rule. You can find me using stacked necklaces everywhere I go. I mix jewelry brands I love to create the layering effect with four to six necklaces. Most of the necklaces are a simple design, but I usually have one necklace with a bigger pendant. A few of my favorite brands are Logan Hollowell, Mejuri, and Astrid & Miyu."

"One of the primary accessories I use to dress up any outfit is a strong statement bag. For example, I will wear a set of sweats—I love the pink Ragdoll LA matching set—and dress it up with one of my By Far bags to wear on a coffee run or to meet clients. Some bags bring so much magic to an outfit!"

"I frequently don an oversize blazer over almost any basic. I will wear it with a T-shirt or even a sports bra for a laid back but still sophisticated look. Try it—it's a super-easy look and really comfortable!"

"It is summer, so it's the perfect time to break the midi-to-long dresses out. I am especially loving long form-fitted cuts! I feel so empowered when I wear them, and they are also super comfy. Some of my favorites are Trois the Label, Rat & Boa, and House of CB's long fits."

Another outfit trick I noticed when scrolling through Léfevre's expertly curated feed is her affinity for matching sets. Whether it be a silky crop top and skirt set or something as casual and comfy as a sweatshirt and sweat shorts, coordination makes for a pulled-together look no matter the context of the outfit.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
