When it comes to street style, that beautiful and elusive creature, the model out in the wild (also known as the off-duty model) is in a class of her own. Off-duty model style is a whole different game. These girls know how to keep it simple yet chic as they flit between castings and shows. Here are 4 of the best model looks from the streets of New York. Perhaps you can get some inspiration from them to dress yourself off work.
Model with Hot Pants and Boots
I’d love to sit here and tell you that absolutely anyone can pull off a tiny pair of denim hot pants worn in tandem with thigh high boots, just as this gorgeous off-duty model that was photographed in New York. But some combinations are better left grounded in reality, and that reality happens to be that this look is best left to long, toned modelesque legs. By all means, if you feel game to try it, why not. With all fashion, confidence is the key. Just consider balancing the bottom half with a relaxed knit, for example the Independent Trading Co. Juniors Wide-neck Sweaterfleece Crew, or loose tees to keep the whole thing a little bit effortless.
Model Friends in Leather Overall
Exiting a show never looks so relaxed or effortless as these two off duty models make it look. The half-undone leather overall against a fluffy pink knit is made for a particularly striking combination, while her friend is wearing a heather t-shirt and black pencil skirt.
Leggy Model in Sporty Shorts
A pair of tiny sporty mesh shorts and a crop top might not sound like the sort of combination you’d wear with platform heels. But when you’re a model, your midriff is beyond toned and your legs go on forever, pretty much anything goes. And the fact is that the shorts are high waisted, keeping the outfit elegant.
The Model Uniform in Tandem
There’s a model uniform that never fails, season after season: black minis, bare legs, grungy shirts and classic cotton tees, completely as these off duty models that were photographed on day 1 of New York, spring 2015. At NyFifth.com you’re welcome to visit these cotton t-shirts from various brands such as Bella+Canvas or American Apparel.
