When it comes to Emily Ratajkowski’s style, you can typically expect high-octane glamour like head-to-toe Miu Miu and vintage Dior or lowkey athleisure in sweats and Salomons. But for her latest outing, the model had the best of both worlds.
Traipsing around the streets of New York City, Ratajkowski blended boho-chic and streetwear for a unique summer look. Her dress, from high-streel label Mango, featured an asymmetrical cut, spaghetti straps and embroidered crochet panelling. Adding to the allure of the look, the My Body author added gold jewellery pieces and yellow Jacquemus sunglasses.
Further down, though, her footwear choices threw a spanner in the works with bright red Puma sneakers.
An unexpected choice for the hyperfeminine dress, Ratajkowki’s look demonstrates the power of the ‘wrong shoe’ theory. As coined by Allison Bornstein, this viral dressing hack suggests that any outfit can be levelled up by swapping out the shoes to something antithetical.
