PSA: Gigi Hadid’s Mango leather jacket is the celeb-inspired buy of the season. And it’s in stock in every size.
Some days, nothing fits quite right. Your jeans have lost their shape, your top isn’t quite ~giving~ and your hair just doesn’t cooperate.
Don’t worry, fashion slumps happen to the best of us. But what separates the professionals from the amateurs is how you deal with them. There are a few simple tricks on how to put together a cool outfit with little motivation – the fashion set resort to cool, off-duty comfort: looks that look casual yet curated. Low-effort, high impact. Quickly-styled yet still photo-ready. You know the vibe.
The reigning Queen of dressing of this kind? Gigi Hadid. I’d actually be inclined to say I prefer her off-duty looks to when she’s, let’s say, walking in the “Le Chouchou” Jacquemus Fall 2023 fashion show at the Versailles Gardens.
There was the time she famously donned a pair of leather trousers with flat black ankle boots, a printed, jersey polo neck and a high-street brown gilet (which sold out in a matter of days). Or when she arrived in New York City last month in cargo pants, a black knitted jumper and Adidas sneakers.
My Gigi Hadid outfit obsession of this week? The fact that the Mango oversized leather jacket, which the supermodel wore before the Miu Miu show in Paris on October 3 2023, is still in stock in every size. And every editor I know is flocking to buy it.

Gigi Hadid wore the oversized leather jacket from Mango on her way to her runway gig for Miu Miu’s new spring/summer collection – atop a cropped white t-shirt and black low-waist maxi skirt. The jacket, which is made from 100% bovine leather and part of the high-street stalwart’s Selection Collection, has a shirt-style collar, two side pockets and front zip closure. It served cool dad vibes and comfort – while the tshirt’s cropped silhouette served shape.
Sure, if you scroll through Mango’s current on-site leather jacket offering, you’ll be greeted by an abundance of epic outerwear. But Mango’s worn-effect number – which could easily pass as vintage – really caught my attention. And Gigi’s, apparently. Worn-effect jackets are timeless, too, which makes the £350 price tag feel worth it.
Gigi styled her look with a New Era baseball cap (also regularly worn by the likes of Kaia Gerber, Meghan Markle, Rihanna and Lucy Hale), 90s-style oval glasses, black ballet flats and a half-moon shoulder bag from Prada.
