Mary-Kate Olsen Declares That Sambas Aren’t Dead

Mary-Kate Olsen Declares That Sambas Aren’t Dead

The snow is (blessedly) starting to melt here in New York City, and we can finally tuck away our parkas—for now, at least. Mary-Kate Olsen, for one, is taking full advantage of the more tolerable temps.

While we might not all be swiping our cards at The Row, we can take cues from the brand’s creative director. Earlier this week, Olsen was spotted in New York with art dealer Vito Schnabel, Sant Ambroeus coffee cup in hand. The designer bundled up in a sumptuous black full-length coat, replete with a single-button closure, nipped-in waist, and strong shoulders.

While we’re not surprised to see the designer in an impeccable piece of outerwear, the accessories are what made this a Mary-Kate Olsen Outfit™. Like her sister, Ashley Olsen, Mary-Kate is a noted fan of the bohemian scarf. This was no exception, wrapped in a black scarf with a multicolored paisley pattern. She also added a pair of wraparound black shades, a mahogany croc-embossed bag from The Row (naturally!), and a pair of humble black suede Adidas Sambas. (Whoever said that Sambas are over never met an Olsen.)

So, this winter, dust off your Sambas, grab a paisley scarf and your sleekest sunglasses, and channel your inner Olsen.
