Candice Swanepoel might be best known for her eight-year tenure as a Victoria’s Secret Angel, but her appearances on the runways at Versace, Chanel, Diane von Furstenberg, Dior, Givenchy and others have cemented the 29-year-old’s high-profile model status.
As such, she’s perfected an off-duty model wardrobe we regularly dream of owning. Candice Swanepoel’s street style is a thing to covet—just look at how she mixes bohemian prints, casual separates and sleek shapes. Whether the South African model is hanging out in NYC with fiancé Hermann Nicoli or walking the red carpet in haute couture, she always looks effortlessly cool.
