Kaia Gerber Wore Flats With the Anti-Trend Denim Style That Dominates Every Fall

As much fun as it is to see how celebrities style the latest trends on the streets of Los Angeles, Paris, and New York City, I personally find way more satisfaction in spotting them in timeless essentials, and witnessing how they style them with ease. I probably can't afford to buy their brand-new, off-the-runway ready-to-wear, bags, and shoes, but I can recreate their low-key ensembles made up of elevated basics. Because of this, I always keep an eye out for Kaia Gerber's street-style looks, which are almost always made up of anti-trend pieces. And her latest outfit is no exception.

Gerber was spotted in Los Angeles at Kunz Production Company alongside The Bear's Ayo Edebiri wearing a black baby tee with a gray sweatshirt over her shoulders and what I would argue are the perfect jeans—mid-wash with a high-rise, button fly, and slim-straight leg similar to a pair of 501s. On the accessories front, she added a black Celine Tilly shoulder bag and the same Repetto ballet flats she's had on all summer.

Gerber's preference for classic straight-leg jeans as opposed to trendy barrel, super-wide, or studded denim is one she shares with many of her fellow street-style stars, which is partly why they come back every fall like clockwork. Kendall Jenner, Sofia Richie Grainge, Zoë Kravitz, and Laura Harrier all, too, tend to err on the simple side of the jeans spectrum.
