If you’re not wearing your best friend’s merch, are you really best friends?
Gigi Hadid did it in a recent outing in New York City, where she had a fun layering moment relying on bright and pastel colors. The supermodel wore a chocolate-brown leather moto jacket over a sky-blue knit cardigan—which eagle-eyed fans recognized as the 1989 (Taylor’s Version) cardigan, merch that Hadid’s BFF Taylor Swift dropped in honor of the release of her hit album last week. In addition to the vibrant cardigan, Hadid also wore a basic white T-shirt and a long scarf covered in lime green, orange, gray, and light brown stripes.
To finish off the look, the Guest in Residence founder also wore a pair of black straight-leg jeans and black leather loafers. She also accessorized with oval tortoiseshell sunglasses, gold drop earrings, a gold chain charm necklace, and a gold watch (which she expertly styled. above in his cardigan sleeve).
Hadid isn’t afraid to embrace color in her off-duty style. For example, in another outing in New York last month, she wore a mustard-yellow collared jumpsuit, with tortoiseshell buttons, boxy pockets, and a drawstring waist. She coordinated the look with a striped yellow and navy blue beanie, caramel Ugg boots, a black and white Prada shoulder bag, and black sunglasses.
“My goal in life is to look as chic or put together as possible while always being comfortable,” Hadid said Harper’s Bazaar in 2022 interview. “I very rarely, even on red carpets, wear things that I don’t feel comfortable in the whole event because I feel like I can’t be myself if I think about what I’m wearing like that that way.”
