If Gigi Hadid's Black Skinny-Jean Styling Is a "Mistake," I Don't Wanna Be Right

Gigi Hadid is not a rule follower when it comes to her style by any means. To put it simply, she wears what she wants, and the rest of the world copies her. Hadid is currently in Paris for fashion week and is relying on comfortable looks to suit her busy schedule. Today in the City of Light, she wore an all-black look consisting of an oversize blazer, turtleneck, and skinny jeans. Instead of going with the expected black shoes, she went in another direction and wore knee-high brown Western boots.
Some would undoubtedly consider Hadid's choice to wear very brown boots with a very black outfit a "mistake," but I actually love it. If you ask me, you can and should wear navy and brown with black if you want to. It's a cool way to stick to neutrals without it being boring. Bonus points if you choose a cool shoe trend, as Hadid did with her cowboy boots.
