Models Rock Denim & LBDs – Just Like Us

Thought being a model meant you had to wear something daring during Fashion Week? Not so. On the catwalk, designers dictate the dress code. But on the sidewalk, models keep it real with their wardrobe choices. Take a look.

Trending Denim

Nothing reflects off-duty style like the abundance of denim we see on the streets between fashion shows – proving models prefer comfort to couture.

1. Parisian Chic: This Brazilian beauty pairs distressed boyfriend denim with a crisp white tee, a classic Burberry trench, clubmaster sunglasses, and two-tone stilettos for a perfectly polished, French-inspired look.

2. Menswear Meets 90s Grunge: This Russian bombshell pays homage to the 90s by pairing her ripped-hem denim with a plaid shirt tied around her waist and moto boots. The addition of a boyfriend blazer and a chain-strap crossbody elevate the carefree look.

The LBD

Models aren’t exempt from loving this world-renowned closet staple. The proof is in these two simple-yet-trendy looks.

1. Minimal to the Max: Less is definitely more. This model looks Scandinavian-chic by layering a deep-V sweater over a halter-style LBD to expose the dress’ interesting neckline. Bare legs and moto boots add tough-girl edge to the minimalist statement.

2. Monochromatic Edge: A leather biker jacket, a fedora, and sheer tights lend the perfect amount of cool to basic head-to-toe black. This model proves it’s all in the extras.
