Keeping up with every fashion micro-trend is not only expensive but exhausting. Popular aesthetics and “-cores” have prompted editors, stylists, and even high-end designers to return to the basics. Sure, jeans and a white T-shirt outfit can feel boring, but it’s what we like to call "working smarter, not harder" styling. The combo is simple—but effective. The pairing can get you through the day with ease. Enough said: We’re entering 2024 in our boring outfits era, and our lead of inspiration comes from the queen of minimalist outfits herself, Kaia Gerber. In Los Angeles, Gerber and her boyfriend, Austin Butler, were spotted walking their dog dressed in the coveted and simplistic off-duty uniform they're known for. There was one key detail that we can't stop obsessing over: Gerber and Butler wore matching Birkenstocks—after all, couples who wear "ugly" clogs together stay together.
We’d categorize Gerber's style as straightforward, and her recent look is no exception. She opted for a white tank top and matching straight-leg sweatpants and styled it with a brown sweater worn casually over her shoulders. She accessorized with her favorite Celine sunglasses and a navy baseball cap. The star of the look was her stone-shade Birkenstock clogs—which happened to perfectly match Butler's. The Elvis star wore a similar navy trucker hat with a relaxed blue button-down shirt and dark gray pants.
