If the naked shoe was the celebrity style hit of last season, then the naked boot is set to take the lead in time for New York Fashion Week. Today in Manhattan, Gigi Hadid wore a mesh Yeezy pair that managed to elevate otherwise basic sweats. The look recalled a Lucite style we first saw on Kendall Jenner, though Hadid made it her own. While Jenner styled hers with fishnet socks, Hadid had a more directional take on the trend.

The trick to Hadid’s street style was the mix of athletic-minded pieces with fancier footwear. The joggers were streamlined enough to lend the outfit a flattering line, and hit at the right place to put the shoe on full display. Hadid shut out the cold in Kith’s quilted nylon flight jacket, bringing a streetwise vibe to a cropped turtleneck sweater without taking the attention away from her toned midriff. But it was her accessories—a structured Sophie Hulme bag and a major set of oversize sunglasses—that lifted the ensemble into sophisticated new territory.
