2. Denim Jackets
Whether cropped or oversized, in indigo or dipped in brighter colors, denim jackets have been a fashion staple for Gigi. For her 24th birthday bash in 2019, the model has even asked her A-list group of friends to follow a “Denim and Boots” dress code. At the NYC party, the birthday girl herself was spotted wearing a customized Levi’s Authorized Vintage trucker jacket with a matching pair of jeans that’s sewn with a “24” patch.
3. Dr. Martens Boots
The Dr. Martens Pascal boots is often Gigi’s choice of footwear on her days off. In addition to the timeless, black colorway, the It-girl has previously stepped out in white and burgundy versions of the leather combat boots.

5. Cropped Hoodies
Cropped hoodies are the star of the many midriff-bearing outfits that Gigi has sported in the past. Whether emblazoned with logos or plain in color, a hooded sweater is the perfect top to wear with any cozy look.
6. Chunky Sneakers
She may wear towering heels when strutting down the runway, but when she’s off duty, Gigi can always be spotted in some chunky platform sneakers. The black, suede Acne Studios Manhattan’s are just one of the many pairs of thick-soled trainers in her personal collection.

7. Biker Shots
Long before biker shorts have become a ubiquitous fashion item, the supermodel has already been sporting the hip-hugging silhouette. Pair these black cycling shorts with a loose-fit sweater and a pair of kitten heel boots for the full effect.
