If one thing is certain, it is that Kaia Gerber has mastered the art of dressing off-duty. Her laid-back look may seem fairly simple at first glance, but it is the effortless air of effortlessness that makes her "model-off-duty" aesthetic so appealing. While many celebrities follow the ever-changing cycles of trends, Garber chooses items that comprise a classic capsule wardrobe: her mother, known for ushering in the minimalism, blazer, and blue jeans phenomenon of the 1990s, and fellow supermodel Cindy She seems to have inherited this model's approach to style from Crawford. In other words, if you know something works for you, why change it?

Gerber's recent off-the-street style perfection came just the other day when she was spotted strolling in her go-to outfit. The star of the bottoms paired a classic brown trench coat with a mint green cardigan, pants, and black Chelsea boots.

This typical "Kaia Gerber look" perfectly illustrates her "Less-is-More" style philosophy and also includes some subtle yet effective style hacks that are very easy to imitate. Cardigans have a reputation for being "granny-ish," but Gerber debunks that notion, transforming a simple sweater into a crisp knit. If you look closely, you can see that Gerber fastens only the two buttons in the middle of the cardigan (and wears it without a top underneath), transforming the cozy sweater into an outfit that shows a glimpse of her belly. Genius!

We may be in a winter weather throw, but Gerber proves that it doesn't mean you have to sacrifice style in the cold. You can turn a cardigan sweater into a go-to look. Cozy, yet cool outfits are always in style, and with the growing "eclectic grandpa" trend on TikTok, there seems to be no better time to try this look.

Speaking of trying the look, Gerber's affinity for closet staples makes this look so easy. If, like us, you have dozens of cardigans in your closet, don't wear a shirt underneath (preferably in a bright color) and pair it with your favorite pants. Then throw on a trench coat and a pair of similar Chelsea boots and you're all set. Now you have an outfit formula that is as easy as 1-2-3 and can be worn all winter long.
