And Now, Here's the Summer Shirt Trend to Wear With Basics
Even at just 17 years old, Kaia Gerber is the subject of much sartorial envy on our part. She consistently mixes high-fashion finds with more affordable pieces from brands like Reformation, I.Am.Gia, and Réalisation. Speaking of, Reformation was her choice for a recent outing with her mom, Cindy Crawford.
Gerber is a pro at dressing up sweats, sneakers, and other wardrobe basics, and that's exactly what she did via Reformation's Cuba Top. She took Adidas x Alexander Wang joggers and her trusty Converse Chuck Taylor high-tops and added the $128 button-down shirt for a casual-cool vibe. (Tip: If you look closely, you'll see that it's subtly adorned with ladies in the nude, hence the print's name, Naked Lunch.)
Some would liken this shirt style to a pajama top, but we find that it brings to mind Havana shirts with their short sleeves, boxy fit, and folded collars. Whatever you want to call it, we're on board with the look, and so is Kaia Gerber, apparently. Wear it with jeans, denim shorts, white pants, miniskirts, over a swimsuit, you name it… It's the hero piece your spring and summer basics need in 2018.
See how Gerber styled her Cuba Top and shop the trend below (including Reformation's highly covetable iteration).
