Model-Off-Duty Style: The 90s & Now

Off-duty style may seem like a 21st-century spectacle. But it’s been a thing since the original era of the supermodel: the 90s. We looked back at our favorite ladies of the past – Christy, Claudia, Cindy, Naomi, and, of course, Kate – and noticed an immediate connection with today’s It girls. Take a peek.

A model knows how to mix ladylike and laid-back. A cozy knit with a crossbody is eternally chic and comfortable.

Mom jeans are back. Thankfully, today’s high-waisted denim has some fit improvements over its 90s predecessors. But the retro look is basically the same.

The best way to travel in between shows: with your model BFF, in menswear-inspired outerwear. Bombers and tailored jackets epitomize that effortless appeal.
