Over the past couple of years, the off-duty model look has taken over everyone’s casual-day mood boards—and for good reason. The essence is exactly what it sounds like: looking like a model who’s off duty for the day but somehow still looks like the pinnacle of fashion. They’re the type of looks that might make someone on the street think you’re someone important going incognito, and who doesn’t want that?
While most of the celebrities that we covet are wearing head-to-toe designer on their off-time, the best of their casual looks can be replicated with basics that are a fraction of the price (or, when we’re lucky, with pieces we already own).
Grab your hair gel for that slicked-back bun and get your neutrals ready for the looks you’re going to have on rotation until spring. Trust us, these off-duty model looks aren’t going to disappoint.
1. The cozy-chic look
Who said bucket hats couldn’t be chic? Definitely not former Victoria’s Secret model Romee Strijd. It can be paired with a cream sweater, a shearling vest and loose-fitting pants to create a sophisticated, yet casual look.
2. The matching sweatsuit look
While we may not be wearing this on a private plane, Lori Harvey shows why matching sweatsuits are so popular. This look is effortless and chic. It features sneakers, a slicked-back hairstyle, and gold jewelry.
3. The look you already have
Ever have those dreary winter days where you open your closet full of clothes but can’t find anything to wear? This combination works: black straight-leg trousers, a chunky sweater vest and your favorite black boots. Add a long trench. Voila! You can be stylish with minimal effort.
4. The graphic tee looks great
A graphic tee is always a favorite in our wardrobes. But a long-sleeve one? That’s something we’ll never say no to. With a pair of menswear-inspired trousers, it’s a casual-cool look that you can turn to every time you leave the house.
5. The warm, but chic look
Hailey Bieber puts a twist on a classic that everyone needs to have in their wardrobe: a red puffer jacket. It’s perfect for brightening the dark, grey days of winter and for the cold days that are coming in spring.
Per usual, Hailey’s look is completed with the details: a slicked-back bun, gold hoops, and black sunglasses.
6. The sweats-in public look
Shay Mitchell has been a #stylegoal for years. Her demonstration of how to wear gray sweats in public just cements her place on the #stylegoals list. With sneakers, a puffer, and black sunglasses, she’s giving “off-duty mom” a whole new meaning.
