Kaia Gerber is the queen of taking classic wardrobe basics and transforming them into covetable outfits. Whether she's discovering the most investment-worthy piece at Reformation or stealing her mom's airport outfit from the '90s, we always turn to her classic style for inspiration. This time around, the model is serving up a perfect spring transitional outfit idea and, even better, it's made up of pieces I bet you already own.
While out and about in NYC, we spotted Gerber wearing her black skinny jeans with every celebrity's favorite Converse sneakers and a few other cool basics, namely, a $69 Led Zepplin band tee that we think deserves to be worn with all your skinny jean–and-sneaker outfits this spring. We've pointed out before why these are the best pieces to wear with your black skinnies, but one more time couldn't hurt: A graphic tee adds a bit of a rock 'n' roll vibe to black denim while the structured blazer ensures the look is polished. As for Gerber's sneaker choice? Well, it's a classic, plain and simple.
If you find yourself at a loss for how to wear your jeans and a tee, simply get inspired by Kaia's outfit below and shop the pieces that will have you oozing model-off-duty cool, too.
On Kaia Gerber: Khaite Petra Tweed Long Blazer; Daydreamer Led Zeppelin Tour 1975 Oversized Tee ($69); black skinny jeans; Prada Sidonie Shoulder Bag ($3100); Converse All Star High Top Sneakers ($55)
