Just like her recent hookup with former One Direction heartthrob Harry Styles, Emily Ratajkowski’s style is enviable to say the least. Her secret? It’s more accessible than you may think. Pairing baggy trousers and cute baby tees with cool trainers is a go-to look for the model. Chances are, you already have some of these staple pieces in your wardrobe.

So, what do you say? Are you ready to embrace your inner cool girl—anyone remember when Ratajkowski was literally the “cool girl” in Gone Girl? Below are our five most-loved Em Rata fits plus affordable lookalike pieces you’ll need in order to recreate them.

You’ve heard it here first, capris are making a comeback this summer. Want to dip your toe into the trend? Try this fit from Ratajkowski. Here, she pairs a simple, high-neck tank top with low-rise, flared trousers and worn-in brown loafers. Not a fan of the bottoms? Swap them with these Dickies instead.

If you’re a fan of casual fits with a hint of femininity, this next look is definitely a keeper. The supermodel keeps it simple with a black tank, denim mini and her current favourite pair of trainers. Of course, if you’re emulating full Rata-realness, you might want to finish off the look with an eligible bachelor or two.

Last but not least, sling a two-tone snakeskin bag over your shoulder, and you’re all set.

Look 3:

Though the model might be best known for her stunning sheer red carpet looks, she’s also always been a fan of more versatile apparel. Here, she’s seen in a casual mesh button-up shirt, a loose-fitting pair of men’s workwear trousers, and a comfy pair of Nike Air Max 270s. Pro tip: you can’t really ever go wrong with a big pants/small shirt combo.

Denim maxi skirt? Check. Worn-in leather jacket? Check. Cowboy boots? Check. This off-duty ensemble ticks all the boxes on our list for a 2023 effortless outfit. Pair your favourite jacket with a detailed jumper underneath, just peeking through enough to make an impact.

We’d also recommend following Ratajkowski’s lead and finding a perfectly groomed pooch to add to the look. Either borrow a friend’s pup or adopt a furry friend yourself!

Last but not least is another certified gen Zers-approved fit: cowboy boots and a mini skirt. Capable of taking you from day to night, the High Low podcast host compliments a silky brown blouse with a mini cargo skirt and boots. To complete the outfit, pair the look with your favourite shoulder bag and sunnies.
