We have arrived, and let us assure you, Amsterdam has truly embraced the challenge. Officially designated as our latest OOTD city, the fashion scene in the Netherlands is not just flourishing; it’s also inspiring. With the crisp air and the enchanting vintage vibe permeating the streets, this city has made a compelling argument for booking a few more flights this year. Believe us, this is coverage you definitely won’t want to overlook.
1. Vintage Royalty: The Ultimate Thrift Find
Amsterdam is the epitome of vintage style, and this outfit perfectly captures that essence. She sports a plaid pleated mini skirt layered over sheer tights, complemented flawlessly by black leather block-heeled lace-up boots. The royal blue quarter-zip sweater introduces a sporty contrast, but the standout piece? That structured brown leather mid-cut coat. It embodies 'thrifted treasure' and sets an incredibly high standard for secondhand fashion in the Netherlands.
2. Fur-Season Ready: Brown Never Looked Better
As the temperatures begin to fall, we advocate for embracing fur. This warm, luxurious ensemble features a sumptuous brown teddy trench coat paired with pointed stiletto boots that boast a dramatic buckle detail. Underneath, she opts for a cream-toned dress, seamlessly coordinated with a matching brown and cream shoulder bag. It’s a classic color palette that is both gentle and commanding.
3. Dress Over Denim: Y2K’s Chic Comeback
Dresses layered over jeans are making a strong return, and Amsterdam is undoubtedly leading this trend. In this look, she has styled a three-quarter sleeve dress over dark-wash jeans, exuding effortless early-2000s vibes. A rose-detailed choker adds an artistic flair, while silver accessories elevate the outfit from nostalgic to fashion-forward.
4. Chunky Knits & Stripes: Casual, But Make It Vintage
Nothing embodies Amsterdam quite like layering, and this outfit exemplifies that perfectly. She has paired a striped, chunky knit sweater with a vibrant red layer underneath for a pop of color. Combined with dark-wash denim and sleek black saddle boots, this look radiates thrifted cool, blending retro textures with modern comfort.
5. Monochrome in Motion: A Brown Moment
This outfit presents a nearly monochromatic aesthetic, focusing on various shades of brown, with an impressive level of coordination. She dons a suede brown blazer alongside a matching midi skirt, layered over tonal brown tights. A lace-up ankle boot (a trend we frequently observe throughout the Netherlands) anchors the ensemble, while a diamond-stitched cream sweater adds just enough contrast to enhance visual interest. Neutral yet never dull.
6. The Chic Navy Uniform
Navy has undeniably reclaimed its status as the most stylish color on the streets. This outfit showcases a wool trench coat cinched at the waist for an ultra-feminine silhouette, complemented by tailored trousers in the same rich shade. She completes the look with glossy black patent ballet flats and the iconic navy Longchamp bag. Classy, understated, and quintessentially European.
7. Boho Utility: Brown-on-Brown Done Right
Brown maintains its dominance, this time in a utility-inspired ensemble that merges practicality with style. She wears a brown maxi linen dress layered beneath a structured utility coat featuring suede collar details. Surprisingly, she pairs it with open sandals, suggesting that wearing sandals in winter could be the next daring trend. A brown leather belt bag unifies the look, creating an effortlessly chic on-the-go style.
8. Textured Layers: A Street Style Triumph
This look is tailored for those who excel in layering. She has paired a charcoal and black cross-striped maxi skirt with a cozy brown suede teddy coat, featuring a striking fur collar. Comfortable, down-to-earth, and functional, she opts for simple sneakers to convey that "I’m running errands but still looking stylish" vibe. Finished with a tan shoulder bag and unique keychain accessories, this ensemble adds character and flair to daily attire.
