How do some people manage to look so effortlessly cool?

[NotBigBrotherAgain]

Is there a secret to it or do you have to be born with some kind of special 'coolness' gene?

I'd love to be able to chuck on something vintage with a pair of Levi's and look cool, but instead I'd look like I had no decent clothes to wear and had just gone out in the first thing I grabbed off the ironing pile!

Is there anything I can do to make myself look a bit more edgy and cool?

Morrisey

Just adding to my list...

Erm...what is cool about dirty hair?

Lou Reed.

I'm also very appreciative of Nicole Ritchie.

Emmanuel alt is definitely the opposite to cool. She looks underfed and somewhat haggard. Alexa Chung, jade Jagger, Lisa Bonet, Sharon Osborne look cool, and that's a selection of ages and ethnicities.

Tracey Ellis Ross is very very very cool. She bangs. Omg. Where did she get her style from? Ledg. I looooove her, should probably stop watching Blackish, DH and I. Love that show.

Michelle Obama, another cool one.

Sharon Osbourne?

Maybe cool is in the eye of the beholder...

Carine Roitfield is another cool one.

And Caroline de Maigret.

In fact, Caroline de Maigret is probably my biggest girl crush EVER. She just dresses PERFECTLY.

I luffs her.

Marianna Faithfull - 1960s cool

Pam Grier - ferocious cool

Winona Ryder - early 90s cool

Marianne even.

Alexa Chung is NOT cool.

Helen Mirren is pretty cool.

How about a game? Name the cool person?

And another 3

And one more for luck.

Lenny Kravitz.

I refuse to be swayed. Audrey in black cigarette pants and a plain top with flat shoes is the most effortlessly cool person EVER. So there!

It might look effortless, but you can pretty much guarantee there's a lot of effort involved 😎

Alexa Chung is NOT cool.

Yes. She. Is.

Parquet Courts:

They are all absurdly cool.

Alexa is so uncool
