Oversized Everything And Shameless-Inspired Puffa Jackets

We’ve been dissecting why Victoria’s Secret model Caroline Brasch-Nielsen “euro sporty hip-hop” look works so well…

When we heard that smoking hot model, clothes crush and all round Danish mega babe Caroline Brasch-Nielsen was spotted hanging out in her local pizza joint in Copenhagen with a slice of American Hot in her hand (ok we made that last bit up), we knew she was our kind of girl. Not that we are Victoria’s Secret Angels that hang out in pizza parlours, but you get our gist. With her “euro sporty hip hop” style (her words) 20-year-old Caroline can rock everything including Adidas Y-3 and Chanel at the same time. Not that we’re jealous. Ok, we are. That’s why we’ve dissected her look to death.

Lesson one: Take your cue from Shameless

This is less 'baked bean stained tracksuit and string vest' and more sleek leather joggers paired with an ankle boot and a sleek semi-pony, topped off with a giant puffa. And although we can only wish for Caroline's Lanvin leopard print puffa (and boy we do), we can definitely copy her crop top and oversized cross on a thong this weekend.

Lesson two: same kicks, different day

Caroline’s sneaker game is tighter than our wallet at the end of January. Granted, we can’t all have an extensive haul of Chanel kicks, but if you want to make multiple shade of the same sneak “your thang” then try the much more wallet friendly and recently relaunched Stan Smith, which come in multiple colour ways.

Lesson three: Think big

Caroline is not a fan of the jegging, the drainpipe or the pedal pusher. She likes her trousers big and baggy. Follow her lead and pair them up with an oversized tee, an enormous sweater and a cute bobble hat. If anything it will make you feel really small underneath.

Lesson four: love the logo

With nineties logomania having a full throttle reneissance, Caroline is our poster girl. Favouring everything from DKNY tube dresses to Chanel sports bras and Y3 tees, to monogrammed Vuitton jeans and Tommy Hilfiger socks, she's a lesson in how to do logos.

Lesson five: Go girly. On occasion

She might love crop tops, puffas and double denim but it doesn’t mean that Caroline’s afraid of to put down her baggy jeans and slip into something a little bit more ladylike. As she (might) say, don’t feel you have to stick to one thing, the thing with clothes is you can take them off again. Genius.
