Emily Ratajkowski has the wardrobe of your dreams. Especially if your style also consists of basic, casual pieces that you reach for time and time again: That tank top you look for every time summer rolls around, a pair of flared leggings for walking your dog or to hit the gym—and even short, minimalist dresses that you can dress up for any special occasion. In short, the essentials you can’t do without in your day-to-day life. Now, with her latest public appearance in New York, the model continues to provide the same inspiration she always has.
She stepped out for an Abercrombie & Fitch event held in the Big Apple: a celebration where other celebrities, such as Iris Law, opted for Ibiza-inspired and romantic looks in keeping with the current season. However, that wasn’t the case for Emily Ratajkowski, who decided to get a head start on next season’s trends.
She achieved this with an outfit perfect for cooler days in between seasons: straight-leg black jeans with a matching belt, snake-print heels, and a basic brown V-neck T-shirt. But the real star of the show was undoubtedly her jacket.
It was a slim brown faux-leather jacket—short and easy to incorporate into simple looks like this one. The perfect piece for when temperatures start to drop but it’s not quite time to reach for longer garments like a trench coat. A design that, as it has proven season after season, never goes out of style: It’s that timeless investment piece you’ll still be wearing five years from now, regardless of trends.
