Bella Hadid is embracing comfort and durability, if not practicality.
On October 23, Hadid tested the limits of her influence by wearing an outfit that objectively shouldn’t work, but somehow does? The 28-year-old model and Coach bag enthusiast was recently photographed in a series of contrasting trends, topping her favoured boyshort briefs and classic white tank top with an oversized brown barn jacket that may or may not be suede.
Look, am I going to start grabbing my morning coffee in my underwear this winter? No, but I can get on board this year’s “ugly shoe” trend if we go with Bella Hadid’s nominee. In keeping with her love of utilitarian footwear, Hadid stepped out in her brand-new lug sole Caribou Mules from Sorel’s collaboration with Proenza Schouler. With a price point of £315, these waterproof leather and rubber mules give a classic winter boot an urban edge without sacrificing comfort or durability.
The truth is, the reason this outfit works is not just because Bella Hadid is a five-foot-nine supermodel, though I can see why you’d believe that. Arguably, the secret to pulling this look off is balance, which Hadid achieved by stabilising her oversized jacket with equally heavy footwear. While I personally might throw a pair of straight-leg, light-wash jeans into the mix, you could easily go with a pair of the denim short-shorts Hadid also loves so much.
Of course, you could try running errands in your underwear. Just don’t get mad at me if it doesn’t go over as well with the public as it does for Bella Hadid.
