Model Kaia Gerber just rocked the perfect transitional piece in two completely different ways while out and about in New York City.
September brings with it the beginning of fall, and its up-and-down weather can make deciding what to wear more difficult than a blazing hot summer day or a cold December. That's why it's crucial to have a stash of "transitional" pieces to help you bridge the gap between summer and fall temperatures — items you can easily layer over your favorite shorts and sundresses on a chilly morning, then shed when the day gets warmer. This past week, Kaia has helped us pinpoint the most buzzed-about transitional piece this season: A leather blazer.
As noted by JustJared, Kaia was spotted rocking the black leather blazer with black bike shorts, white socks, and sneakers, and a white top to meet up with her rumored new boyfriend Jacob Elordi. She styled the sporty-chic look with a small Celine Ava shoulder bag, a pair of round black sunglasses, and a black mask. She also rocked almost the same exact outfit another day, switching the white top for a gray knitted sweater.
Kaia has rocked the blazer a third time with a pair of '90s-style jeans as well. The supermodel wore the blazer with classic denim and brown combat boots. Kaia styled the ensemble with the same brown bag and shades but opted for a graphic tee underneath. Perfect for summer, perfect for fall.
Celebs have been feeling the leather vibes over the past year. Kaia's fellow models Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid, and Hailey Bieber are all fans of the long leather jacket and have been seen rocking the '00s-inspired trend from Paris to New York.
Kaia herself has long been a fan of the silhouette, opting for oversized leather trenches over her day-to-day denim, sweaters, and boots. It gives even the sweetest look a bit of sophisticated edge, as does its little sister, the leather blazer. Her new addition is the Imaan x FRAME Leather Darted Blazer, which originally retailed for $1,125.
If Kaia's feeling the blazer vibe for fall, that means we are too — and it's time to get shopping! Below you will find our favorite options on the market right now.
