MIXMAG 2014 Get the Look of Iconic Outdoors Men and Women How to look chic and carefree when the weather is at its most capricious Hilary Swank as Amelia Earhart in “Amelia” (2009) EVEN AS CRISP SUNSHINE and twilight evenings start to entice us from our winter lairs, they pose one of the most enduring fashion conundrums: how to look chic and carefree when the weather is at its most capricious. This season’s silks, soft cottons, light knitwear and loose jackets mean style doesn’t have to come at the price of comfort. But peeling layers on and off isn’t always a great look. Why not take a cue from some of the more intrepid characters to have graced the silver screen and embrace the call of the wild? After all, if it’s possible to look good on the side of a mountain or flying thousands of feet in the air, Hollywood might also hold the key to staying stylish this spring—even if the makeup artists and special effects aren’t included. —Alexis Flynn Farfetch (Fendi, Marni, Chloe, The Row by Linda Farrow) ;c.FoxSearch/Everett/REX (film still) 19
