Models don’t just gave us #fashiongoals
moments in magazines and on runways, their casual style is also so good we’re constantly
liking and saving their photos on Instagram. The great thing about the off-duty
look is that it’s something than easily rub off on our own style. We all have
days off or weekend mornings where we just want to get our errands done and
wear easy and effortlessly put together outfits. Now of course that doesn’t
mean letting go of fashion completely, and this is where our favorite model
street style outfits come in.
The question is how do you put such a look
together without feeling like you need to put days of thought into it or find a
stylist? And how can you make a stylish outfit with stuff you already own so
that you don’t have to spend more cash. Here are some great basic ideas for
building your own on-the-move, off-duty looks that would make Gigi, Kendall and
Bella proud.
Many
Ways to Style a Hoodie
Like puffer
jackets, hoodies have been given a bad name. But they can actually be very
fashionable, and not just the outfit choice of teenagers or hackers. We’ve seen
stars like Kendall Jenner rock
a hoodie topped with a leather jacket, and we’ve seen hoodies worn with dresses
and skirts, and even oversized hoodies worn with thigh high boots. There are so many ways to style them. Hoodies may seem to
be quite the opposite of trendy, but they are fashion staples in their own
right. So don’t be afraid to dig one up from your college days, throw one on
and style it up.
The
Basic Tee
T-shirts are the unsung hero of many
Instagram-worth fashion moments, they can be just the right balance of casual
and dressy if you wear them right. And the good news is, we all have access to
one. T-shirts can be rocked a multitude of ways, with jeans, with skirts, with
overalls, as dresses and with shorts, and you can also tie up the bottom of the
shirt to give it some sex appeal. Also there’s a t-shirt to suit everyone’s
taste. From rock band t-shirts to ironic t-shirts and even basic plain ones,
nothing says off-duty glam like a greatly styled t-shirt. All your favorite
stores will stock great t-shirts with fun styles, and if you’re looking for
some good quality basics, Gildan
shirts are perfect. You can also get nice hoodies there. Ultimately,
if you’re looking for a piece that will always look good with different things
and even look good when it’s looking a little worn and faded, t-shirts are it.
Oversized
Sweaters
Everyone likes fall and winter because it’s
perfect #sweaterweather. Models love them too and we see so many great looks
with sweaters and jumpers on them. Oversized sweater have become very
sought-after fashion items. Far from making you look frumpy, they look good
with skinny pants, skirts and even tucked into jeans. And you can go for a
classic turtleneck or do a crewneck, or even a cardigan. A lot of the times,
the chunkier the better, so don’t be afraid to haul out some old school
sweaters.
Jeans
Jeans will always be the top casual fashion
item for any off-duty look. What’s not to love? They are comfortable, versatile
and eternally trendy. They are great with a formal shirt, a cami, a t-shirt, a
coat and even a big jacket. And there are so many styles too - you can go
skinny, ripped or boyfriend style and dress it up almost every way imaginable.
Remember a piece of denim can last you for years, and you can even accessorize
or customize a pair.
Athleisure
A big question people ask in fashion circles
is if gym-wear can be fashionable and we believe it’s a huge yes when it’s done
right. Nowadays we see people running errands in active wear, and we’re not
talking about boring tracksuits. We’re talking printed legging and crop top
sets, jumpsuits and yoga pants. This is another great option for when you’re
just trying to make a quick trip to the mall, corner store or a casual coffee
with friends.
Off-duty model fashion is actually very easy
to imitate if you know the right pieces to put together. It’s all about looking
at the boring stuff in your closet with a new perspective, and seeing all the
possibilities. You too can have an outfit worthy of a few snaps!
Ooohhh I can do that in the tennis court! I love oversize sweaters. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's always best to keep classics in your wardrobe and those that you can mix and match with other styles. I always have my black and white basics and I just try to pair them with some of my patterned and classic clothes like coats, trousers.
