While most celeb fashion is too bewildering to decipher, some fits are just too simple not to recreate
Ever found yourself in the midst of an especially lengthy doomscrolling session, only to end up on some Instagram page dedicated to chronicling every street style look worn by every celebrity? While you aimlessly flick through every sheer-topped Kendall Jenner fit – man, she goes out a lot – that quiet condescending voice at the back of your mind creeps up and tells you you’ll never be able to pull this look off. But wait! You’ve spotted a celebrity that actually dresses like you (on a good day). Half of their outfit resides in the shadowy recesses of your wardrobe, while the other half is probably just a 15-minute trip away at the mall. Here are 4 attainable celebrity street style looks that made us want to drop what we’re doing and make that trip to the mall:
Comfy-chic

First on the list is model Giselle Bundchen’s extremely dying-in-the-heat friendly look that she sported while walking her dog in Miami Beach. The all-white fit is so simple, that you probably won’t even have to buy something new, giving it a 10 out of 10 on the “recreatability” scale. All you need is a slouchy linen top and baggy trousers. If you’re feeling particularly cheery that day, change up the colours, a sunny yellow is also perfect for summer. Combined with a stylish pair of sunglasses and your comfiest flip flops, you’ll be acing comfy-chic.

Dust off the penny loafers that haven’t seen the light of day since you first bought them years ago in attempts to channel your classy vintage side. If you aren’t one of the ones who fell into the trend years ago, it’s time to do so now. Katie Holmes rocked the printed skirt and tee combo, with – you guessed it – penny loafers. The mall will definitely cater to all penny-loafer-loving customers, but it may be tricky to find a printed skirt if holiday season isn’t approaching. Fear not, for there is a backup. A quick trip to a cloth market – Ashiana, Gulf, Plaza – and you’ll be spoilt for choice with prints. Add in a particularly skilled (or even mediocre) tailor to the mix and you won’t be able to tell the difference between Katie’s uber-expensive outfit and yours.
