NYFW Get the Look: Gigi Hadid

For anyone who doesn't know, today technically marks the start of one of the most important weeks of the year, New York Fashion Week, and to say I'm excited would be an understatement. While most of the shows aren't until tomorrow, I have decided a fun way to celebrate this momentous week would be to do a NYFW Get the Look series. Each day of NYFW I will pick a model who is making strides in the fashion world and come up with cheaper alternatives to affording one of their most iconic outfits.

Today's model is Gigi Hadid, the 20-year-old, Los Angeles-raised show stopper who rose to a high level of stardom this previous year. Starting her career at the age of two, Gigi has worked with top designer brands like Guess, Marc Jacobs, Max Mara, Michael Kors and most recently Victoria's Secret, just to name a few. Her list of friends ranges from pop sensation, Taylor Swift, who invited her to appear in her "Bad Blood" music video in 2015, to model and TV reality star, Kendall Jenner. Gigi is only on her way up and is definitely one to keep an eye on if you haven't been already.

Gigi can usually be seen wearing Adidas sneakers and crop tops, but I wanted to put together a look that could be dressed up or dressed down, depending on which you choose to wear. This first look is easy to pull off even if you aren't the long-legged blonde. Neutrals will never go out of style, which means you will always have an excuse to fill your wardrobe with as many black, navy and tan pieces as you would like.

Jeans: Gigi is sporting white skinny jeans with rips down the leg, and the first place you should always turn to for unique, affordable denim is Forever 21. I found these Contemporary Life In Progress Distressed Skinny Jeans for $24.90 on it's website. Compared to other locations who charge upwards of $40.00 for a pair of jeans, I would say these are a steal and a definite must have in your personal collection.

Top: This specific top was a little more difficult to find. The one Gigi is wearing appears to be tight-fitted and a very light material. The closest I could find was this Long Jersey Tank Top from H&M. While it's not an exact match, this one is only $5.99 and everyone can use a basic tank in their personal collection.

Jacket: Gigi's trench coat was definitely the hardest part of her outfit to find. Searching for a tan colored jacket is about as difficult as google searching a gray dress: you're bound to find at least fifty shades (and no, I am not referring to the middle-aged-mom-cult-trilogy series.) This Pointed Jacket is from Zara, one of my all time favorite stores, and is only $22.90, an insane price for trench coats that usually run upwards of $100. This one is the best match I could find in comparison to the color of Gigi's jacket and the cut and light weight material make it look a little more similar as well.





Shoes: I love how Gigi paired a strappy heel with such a sporty look. This Mason Lizard Barely There pair from Boohoo matches almost exactly and are probably half the price at $44.00 (I don't know why the photo won't show up, but the link works so you can always just click that!)




And there you have it! Gigi's entire outfit for under $100.00. Hopefully you will stick around for more as I prepare to tackle more models and their luxurious attire. Let me know in the comments below what stores you like to shop at that don't break the bank!
