We love model Gigi’s super low-key approach to her sturdy blue buy. She threw her boxy-shaped jacket over slouchy trews and finished with a cap for a day strolling in the city.

Radio star, Ashley opted for a dark black wash piece and rocked it over a matching dress and boots for a glam daytime ensemble. We love!
