Bella Hadid's Secret Weapon For Making Jeans and a Sweater Stand Out
2015 Star Max1/9While Bella Hadid was celebrating the big one-nine with her friends, family, and adorable new puppy (!!!) this weekend, we were busy obsessing over her outfit. A simple enough sweater and jeans get-up at first glance, the look is genius because it seems completely, effortlessly chic — even though it takes a little fashion know-how to make it work.
First you’ve got to get the proportions just right (a swingy, cropped fit top anchored by high rise jeans with slightly tapered legs), and then find accessories that feel polished enough to dress it all up — but not in a prissy, gratuitously fancy kind of way. It all comes down to the perfect shoe. Swapping her usual sneakers for sassy, lace-up pumps changes the entire vibe of the ensemble, taking it from casual errands to birthday lunch with the boyfriend.
Nailing the model off-duty effect is all about finding just the right balance of pieces. Ahead, we’ve broken Bella’s full ensemble down to the six flawless items available online right now — and you don't have to be an off-duty model to pull 'em off.

3/9If you haven’t embraced mom jeans quite yet, perhaps this will convince you: not only does a waistband that sits above the hips give the illusion of longer legs, play up your curves and remind people of ‘90s-era Cindy Crawford, but also lets you get away with a much shorter shirt. The perfect solution if you’re into crop tops, but not showing your stomach.

4/9When it comes to choosing a sweater, few options are more classic — or chic! — than a creamy ribbed pulled over. The most flattering silhouette will hit within an inch (above or below) of your pant’s waistband.
