I’m in the market for some easy summer staples and Kaia Gerber’s latest look has just inspired my summer shopping list. Stepping out in a French-girl-approved short sleeve blouse, the model crafted an effortlessly elegant ensemble that speaks to her laid-back, yet polished, energy.
With the temperatures rising, Gerber skirted a cotton tee or classic tank in favour of a frilly short-sleeve blouse. This thoughtful choice added a pretty, feminine edge to her look, whilst dressing up her casual ensemble. Selecting another French-girl favourite, the model opted for a simple a pair of black ballet flat for her walk in New York. With a flat-footed-finish and fuss-free design, the trending slippers added to Gerber’s look in an understated yet chic way—that also happens to be French-girl approved.

Whilst the summer season typically calls for t-shirts and dresses, the French have consistency used the warmer season as a time to style elegant short sleeve blouses. More versatile than any tee or tank, the pretty design can be dressed up with a cotton skirt and heels for an elegant evening look, or dressed down with baggy jeans and ballet flats, as per Gerber’s latest look.
Leaning into the casual nature of her outfit, Gerber choice to pair her trending blouse and flats with a pair of dark-wash wide-leg jeans. A comfortable alternative to straight leg or skinny styles, wide-leg jeans offer more breathability—making them a fitting choice for these early summer days.
