Style Guide: Gigi Hadid Edition

Who’s a fashion icon who walks the streets like a runway? You guessed correctly if you said Gigi Hadid! Today’s style guide will dissect Gigi’s outfits to see what her go-to trends are and how you can imitate them!

1. Go Monochrome

I don’t think we can emphasize this enough, which is why it needs to be mentioned in another style guide: Monochrome it up! Gigi illustrates once again that monochrome can make any fit look 10 times more fashionable; Gigi’s fits scream chic worker girl whenever she matches her hues.

2. High-Waisted Trousers

This style guide demonstrates that skipping typical bottom options in favor of high-waisted trousers is the way to go. They are not only way more comfortable, but they can also be dressed in a variety of ways; wear them for a leisurely stroll to fetch coffee or to a work meeting; either way, you will look fab!

3. Oversized Outerwear

The next item in the style guide is oversized outerwear. Nobody likes being cold, but there are ways to at least look fashionable while attempting to stay warm! Gigi accomplishes this by going for more oversized jackets; whether they are long coats or puffy jackets, she looks trendy while still being protected from cold weather. (We know it’s summer, but keep this tip in mind once the weather starts to cool down)

4. Trendy Suits

This next trend on the style guide may be more out of our comfort zone for those of us who don’t venture out of our sweats, but Gigi rocks them, so we can too: suits. It is no secret that cute matching suits have become a celebrity go-to for street style; there are so many ways to style them and they make you appear like you stepped out of Devil Wears Prada.. Who wouldn’t want to look like they’re heading to a day of work with Miranda Priestly?

5. Platform Shoes

If you want to add some elegance and height to your ensemble, take Gigi’s advice and wear platform shoes. These are an easy way to add a stylish touch to your outfit and can be found in a variety of styles ranging from sneakers to heels, depending on the aesthetic you want to achieve.

6. Beachy Waves

The next look in the style guide is something incredibly simple: Beachy Waves. Gigi’s honey-colored hair is styled in a traditional Californian style of loose beachy waves that add a hint of flaunt to all of her ensembles.

7. Minimal Makeup

In terms of makeup, Gigi is known for going for a more natural look with less makeup that complements rather than alters her beauty. To achieve Gigi’s look, start with bare lips, a swipe of bronzer and mascara, and finish with warm eyeshadow tones like golden or a reddish burgundy.

8. Leather Looks

You can never go wrong with a dash of leather in your look, as Gigi has proven to the fashion industry over and again. There’s something about that shiny material that simply adds such a cool vibe to a look; leather pants or a leather blazer, either way, you’ll look like a rockstar without having to put in much effort!

9. Orange Is In

We are here today to argue that orange is definitely in for summer, and we have Gigi to back us up. Nothing says bright sunny days and ice cream like orange, and there are so many distinct tints to pick from. On top of that, orange is a fun and flirty hue; wear it in any way that makes you feel the most confidence!

 

10. Retro Looks

Another aesthetic that Gigi prefers is a good old retro look. Gigi looks effortlessly more trendy by producing what appears to be a thrift shop-inspired fit, which involves combining older styles such as bell-bottom pants or a colorful grandpa sweater paired with mom jeans. Going back in time with your clothing and looking gorgeous while doing so is somewhat of a magical experience, and an essential part of this style guide!

11. Bold in Denim

The first look to copy from the style guide is any fit with a lot of denim. Gigi is known for creating looks with denim on denim and bold accents to prevent seeming too matchy; break up the outfit with a bright color or add fashionable accessories to complete the ensemble.

I know what you’re thinking: there’s a lot that goes into Gigi Hadid’s stunning looks. But, in the end, all you need to do to dress like Gigi is embrace what makes you feel the most fabulous! Of course, if the freedom of having so many options worries you, return to this page for some guidance!
