Gigi Hadid Wore the '90s Shirt Trend That Makes Light-Wash Jeans More Fall-Friendly

Just prior to opening the Victoria’s Secret runway show this week, Gigi Hadid was photographed out and about in New York City doing normal people things before donning her giant pink wings. Her daytime outfit was casual, but cool and elevated—just as Hadid’s outfits always are. It also included light-wash jeans, which some of us may typically avoid during fall and winter, but Hadid proved that you needn’t do that—especially when you’re strategic about what you pair them with.

On this particular mid-October day, Hadid wore her light-wash straight-leg jeans with a white T-shirt and a ’90s shirt trend that brings light jeans straight into fall: a plaid button-down. As you know, plaid button-downs are an essential component of the ’90s grunge look that’s been trending for some time now, but they can also look quite polished when paired with things like straight-leg jeans and penny loafers (as Hadid did).
