Zendaya Wore the New Denim Jacket Trend That Makes Basics Look More Current


Zendaya wears more high-fashion couture looks in a month than most people will wear in a lifetime. On the flip side, when she’s off-duty, she keeps things far more chill and accessible, but no less chic. Because of her fashion prowess and influence, Zendaya’s off-duty looks are often emulated by the masses. This brings me to the latest off-duty look the paparazzi captured in NYC this week.

Zendaya’s outfit consisted of all basics, but it’s the jacket trend she paired with them that made it look particularly current and cool. She started with baggy white trousers, a gray sweater, and white On sneakers, and added a denim jacket. But it wasn’t just any denim jacket—it was a dark denim jacket. Zendaya’s jacket (which is by The Row and has also been donned by Kendall Jenner) represents the inky denim trend that fashion has been embracing this season and that makes everything it’s paired with (basics included) look more elegant and put-together—and yes, more “2024”.
