Alright, so I’ve been seeing Lori Harvey’s outfits popping up everywhere, and honestly, her style is pretty sharp. I thought to myself, “Okay, I like this, let me see if I can actually bring some of that into my own wardrobe without breaking the bank or looking like I’m trying too hard.” That was the start of my little experiment.
My Deep Dive into the ‘Lori Look’
First things first, I did what most of us do: I went online. I spent a good chunk of time just scrolling through images, trying to get a real feel for her go-to pieces and silhouettes. I wasn’t looking to copy exact outfits, because let’s be real, that’s often not practical. I was more interested in the essence – what makes her style hers.
I started noticing a few things. She seems to love well-fitting basics, but then she’ll throw in something that really makes it pop. Think great jeans, a simple top, but then an amazing coat or some killer heels. Neutrals also seem to be a big player in her wardrobe, lots of blacks, whites, beiges, but then she’ll hit you with a bold color or texture.
Hitting My Own Closet
After my “research” phase, I turned to my own closet. This was the real test. I started pulling out pieces that I thought echoed some of the vibes I was seeing. I looked for:
- Good tailoring: Anything that fit well and looked structured.
- Solid basics: Plain t-shirts, bodysuits, classic denim.
- Statement pieces I already owned: A cool jacket, a pair of unique boots, some chunky jewelry.
Then came the trying-on part. I started mixing and matching. Some combinations were, frankly, a disaster. I remember putting on this one outfit and thinking, “Nope, this isn’t it at all.” But that’s part of the process, right? You gotta have a few misses to get to the hits.
What I Actually Put Together
I found that focusing on a monochrome look was a good starting point. I paired some black tailored trousers I had with a black fitted turtleneck. It felt simple, but put-together. Then I threw on a leather jacket I’ve had for ages, and suddenly, it felt a bit more “Lori.” It wasn’t an exact replica of anything she’s worn, but it had that sleek, confident feel I was aiming for.
Another thing I tried was playing with oversized pieces. I had this oversized blazer that I usually just wore very casually. I tried pairing it with some fitted leggings and a simple camisole, added some heeled boots, and it instantly elevated the look. Again, it was about taking elements – the silhouette, the balance of fitted and loose – rather than specific items.
My Takeaways from This Style Experiment
It’s more about the attitude and fit than the price tag. Seriously. While her clothes are undoubtedly high-end, the core of her style seems to be confidence and clothes that fit her incredibly well. I focused on making sure whatever I wore fit properly and made me feel good.
Basics are your best friend. Having a good foundation of well-fitting basics makes it so much easier to experiment with statement pieces or try new silhouettes. I realized I probably needed to invest in a few more quality basics myself.
Don’t be afraid to try. Some things I thought wouldn’t work together actually looked pretty decent once I put them on. And the things that didn’t work? Well, now I know. It’s all learning.
So, yeah, that was my little journey into trying to capture some of that Lori Harvey style. I didn’t go out and buy a whole new wardrobe. I mostly worked with what I had, focused on fit, and tried to channel that confident energy. And you know what? I actually found a few new combinations that I really like and will definitely be wearing again. It was a fun process, and it reminded me that style inspiration is great, but making it your own is what really matters.
