Our mall uniform reflects our no-nonsense attitude toward shopping IRL: comfortable footwear, slip-on-slip-off pieces, and, of course, a game face. We don't overthink the outfit — we have other fish to fry (or, rather flared denim that needs to find its way into our closet). The ensemble, however, has to achieve that perfect balance of practicality and put-togetherness, because you never know who you'll run into in the parking lot. A touch of leopard print can add that extra ounce of flair to elevate a casual ensemble without clashing with our staples. It gets the job done, without fail — but, even experts need a refresher every once in a while. Emma Roberts gave us a fresh look at the print, courtesy of Coach and Gary Baseman.
The American Horror Story actress treated herself to some good ol' retail therapy at The Grove, topping off a T-shirt and skinny jeans with a drip-paint, leopard-print jacket from Coach's collaboration with artist Gary Baseman. Roberts' outfit fulfilled all of our mall-trip requirements, from the no-fail denim down to the Alexander Wang slip-on oxfords. But, her statement-making topper and oversized sunglasses put her a cut above the rest of the Wednesday-afternoon shopping crowd. Below, how to steal Emma's look before hitting the mall this weekend.
Emma Roberts is wearing a Coach jacket, a Pam & Gela pullover, Alexander Wang shoes, Quay sunglasses, and a Jason Wu bag.
