This Is The Key To Getting Kaia Gerber's Timeless Style
You’ll definitely need a blazer.
Since breaking into the modeling scene, Kaia Gerber has charted her way to the top via major runway appearances and huge campaigns. Aside from having a budding career, the 20-year-old has crafted a signature style, too. Gerber’s best looks always waver between feeling timeless and trendy — she never does too much or too little — which proves she’s a fashion chameleon. The star has mastered that covetable model-off-duty look from the get-go with staples like casual leggings, basic crop tees, and smart blazers. She’s even nailed the whole socks with sandals combination as spotted on her fellow model and friend Kendall Jenner. When Gerber attends fancier functions like award shows, as the life goes for someone famous, her red carpet ensembles always hit the style mark too.
She deftly balances a youthful aesthetic with sophistication, sporting everything from top designers — like Celine and Alexander McQueen — to emerging labels to affordable finds — such as Dr. Martens and H&M. In a recent Vogue video, she showcased seven outfits she would wear IRL. (Hint: there are lots of blazers, boots, and sunglasses.) When you’re done watching, you’ll catch on to what exactly makes the model’s style so classic yet fresh. TZR rounded up 30 of Gerber’s best looks to date, ahead. You can find outfit inspirations for a sophisticated on-the-go look to a business casual ensemble.
