It certainly helps to have a personal stylist on hand: Kendall Jenner has Marni Senofonte, Bella Hadid has Elizabeth Sulcer, and Kaia Gerber has Karla Welch. But what to do if it’s just you getting dressed in the morning with nothing more than a full-length mirror? Enter hybrid fashion, the two-in-one trend here to help the average woman look a little more, well . . . styled. Take Alexander Wang’s new leather and denim hybrid jacket, for instance. It’s two cult classics (a cropped black biker and a denim jacket with vintage vibes) that, when seamed together, scream off-duty model. The same goes for Wang’s T-shirt/camisole combination that speaks to the DIY spirit without the headache of having to choose what goes with what. Even better: You get a bigger bang for your buck.
You don’t have to look far to see the attraction of deconstructing and doubling up—and the trend goes far beyond just bespoke denim and altered T-shirts. Thom Browne’s contrast-paneled suiting takes familiar tailoring tropes into new, fantastical territory, while Dries Van Noten’s asymmetrical silk scarf/camisole, which juxtaposes two distinct prints, has an I-just-threw-this-on élan. And while most of these pairings come adjoined, others—like, say, Building Block’s two-pouch shoulder bag—can be picked and pulled apart to reveal two for the price of one. You might call that a steal—and a shortcut to what’s chic.
Here, the best two-in-one pieces to test-drive now.
