Zendaya Wore the New Denim Jacket Trend That Makes Basics Look More Current

Zendaya wears more high-fashion couture looks in a month than most people will wear in a lifetime. On the flip side, when she's off-duty, she keeps things far more chill and accessible but no less chic. Because of her fashion prowess and influence, Zendaya's off-duty outfits are often emulated by the masses. This brings me to her latest look that paparazzi captured in NYC this week.

Zendaya's outfit consisted of all basics, but it's the jacket trend she paired with them that made it look particularly current and cool. She started with baggy white trousers, a gray sweater, and white On sneakers and added a denim jacket. It wasn't just any denim jacket—it was a dark denim jacket. Zendaya's jacket (which is by The Row and has also been donned by Kendall Jenner) represents the inky-denim trend that fashion has been embracing this season and that makes everything it's paired with look more elegant and put-together and, yes, more 2024.
