Kelsey Merritt is once again proving that she looks fabulous in every season and style. The SI Swimsuit model shared a stunning duo of aesthetic full-body photos on Instagram on Feb. 19. 

She wore a perfect white ribbed sweater and white jeans tucked into a pair of black leather knee high boots ($1,280) from Khaite. The 26-year-old threw a cream maxi coat on top and accessorized with a skinny black belt and dark oversized sunglasses. Merritt tied the equestrian-inspired look together with a statement black-and-gold Birkin bag ($45,000) from Hermès.

“winter whites,” Merritt captioned the photos taken in New York City that she shared with her 1.8 million Instagram followers.

Merritt faced the camera in the first pic and lifted her arm up as she leaned against a pole. In the second snap, she looked off into the distance and casually slipped one hand in her front pocket.

“My chic bae ❤️,” fellow SI Swimsuit model Brooks Nader gushed in the comments.

“So beautiful!!😍,” piped Cristina Musacchio.

Several fans chimed in to appreciate that Merritt “never misses” with her outfits.

“Hope to see you around nyc idol,” one fan chirped.

“I’m in love with your outfits ... ❤️,” another added. “They’re so inspiring!”

“And killer boots,” someone else wrote. “U look like an equestrienne! (And a hot one at that!).”

“I love this minimalism! You look elegant and gracious,” another fan noted. “Also, hues of white are chosen really well! It’s much better than if it was just all bright white.”
