Before making her Prada runway debut earlier this week, Bella Hadid stepped out in Milan in an off-duty look that was arguably just as chic. As the coolest off-duty looks tend to do, Bella’s outfit began with well-chosen basics. She built her look around a pair of tailored cigarette trousers in an inky black hue. On her feet, she opted for black almond-toe boots—their clean silhouette echoing the sharp lines of the trousers—creating an unfussy and polished foundation that felt both practical and chic.

From there, she introduced a little contrast with a suede jacket in a soft tan shade, warming up the all-black base of her top, cardigan and tailored trousers. The interplay between rich suede and sharp tailoring added depth without disrupting the outfit’s minimal mood. Finished with dark sunglasses and a noticeable absence of excess accessories, her look was understated and chic.
A great pair of tailored straight-leg trousers paired with classic black boots is a combination that offers endless versatility. Inspired by Bella’s foolproof formula, scroll on to discover and shop the sleekest tailored trousers and black boots to recreate the look yourself.
