Poppy Jacobs, a 21-year-old student, recently turned heads on Houston Street in Manhattan’s West Village, sharing the secrets behind her distinctive style. “I own a lot of baggy clothes,” she explained, emphasizing her love for mixing and matching different pieces. She proudly cited actress Helena Bonham Carter as a major influence, appreciating a fashion sense that’s both bold and wonderfully unconventional.
Her standout feature? A cascade of voluminous, reddish-brown curls that beautifully highlighted the rust tones of her jacket. This combination of vibrant, free-flowing hair and relaxed, layered clothing created an undeniably hip and liberated look, ensuring she made an impression as she walked with her mother.
Visiting New York from Europe – with her family based in London and her studies in political science taking place in Amsterdam – Poppy highlighted one item with particular significance. Reaching for her handbag, she revealed a Coach ‘Poppy’ bag, pointing out her name boldly printed all over it. “I found it on the resale platform Vinted,” she shared, adding with a smile, “I just knew it had to be mine.”
