Timeless Stripes: A Quietly Elevated Fall Essential

Gigi Hadid isn't just a supermodel but a professional traveler, too. While recreating her runway looks might require connections to creative directors, it's easy to channel her cool-girl airport attire on your next flight. Case in point: On September 22, when Hadid arrived in Italy for Vogue World in Milan a laid-back chic look that could go from plane to work.

Hours before the fifth annual fashion show took over the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, Hadid was spotted backstage in a pale pink, long-sleeve shirt from Prada (whose Milan Fashion Week runway show was the same day), chocolate brown corduroy bottoms, and work-appropriate soft leather loafers.

Then, Guest in Residence founder sported Miu Miu's Pocket Bag, a shoulder style known for its protruding zipper pouches. To finish her off-duty outfit, Hadid accessorized with cat-eye sunglasses, a brown belt shade-matched to her bag, and diamond drop earrings. Fashion Month spectators may recognize her comfort-first footwear and Miu Miu purse: At New York Fashion Week, Hadid exited Tommy Hilfiger's spring runway show with the fall hero items in tow.

In addition to looking comfortably polished, Hadid's striped shirt tapped into a big Fashion Month trend. Fashion editor Lauren Tappan spotted stripes on the Spring 2026 runways of Zimmermann, Dolce & Gabbana, and more.

Outside Spring/Summer 2027 shows in NYC, horizontal lines in all shades and sizes also graced the street style circuit. While one showgoer wore a brown Staud crewneck with a cool blue collar with jeans, another dressed the trend up in a pantsuit. Stylist and writer Gabriella Karefa-Johnson joined the striped-shirt bandwagon, pairing a navy-and-camel long-sleeve with a lace-trimmed slip skirt.

Meanwhile, at London Fashion Week, striped shirts looked preppier than ever. The Montreal-based influencer Grece Ghanem tucked a red, white, and black polo from Marks & Spencer into a wrap-style camel skirt, contrasting the sportiness with heels and a mini bag.

Stripes then appeared on a baby-blue-and-brown top and a tomato-red-and-green rugby dress.

This summer, everyone from Julia Roberts and Lori Harvey to Natalia Bryant and Hadid wore striped styles on repeat, too. Now, as you transition your closet from summer to fall, make sure to save a spot (or two) for a shirt à la Hadid.
