Black Sandals Are Nice and All, But in NYC, Everyone Knows This Shoe Color Looks Chicer With White Pants

One of the best things about New York City is that you never see the “expected” thing. There’s always a surprise around the corner, and that includes people wearing different outfit combinations than the obvious choice. Case in point: Jennifer Lawrence was recently spotted in the city during one of this summer’s many heatwaves donning an all-white linen outfit that she stylized with unique, interesting touches that made the ensemble feel special. For starters, she added a turquoise, beaded necklace with a large pendant, as well as a burgundy-colored vintage Fendi Mamma Baguette bag and oversized The Row Maud sunglasses. My favorite part of her look, though, was her choice of cognac-brown sandals. Sure, she could have worn a pair in classic black, but the rich shade of brown brought her whole look together.
