Life is busy and complicated—your outfit doesn’t have to be. That’s our sometimes motto (especially this time of year). The thing about the holiday season is that you need lots of outfits—even just casual ones for errands—that don’t require a lot of effort.
Celebrities concoct plenty of complicated outfits with their bevy of stylists, but most of the time, especially when they’re off-duty, they actually dress relatively simply in outfits you could probably see yourself wearing. Jeans, sweaters, and boots are the go-tos this time of year for all of us, including celebs. Those, along with a few more basics, are the foundation of many of these eight outfits. And women like Emily Ratajkowski and Zoë Kravitz are pros at making even the simplest outfits a little bit trendy, which is why we chose these particular outfits—they’re both.
