If there’s one piece that belongs in every fashion girl’s wardrobe this season, it’s the statement pant. Proving this point is Gigi Hadid, who has been wearing the look in a variety of silhouettes, colors, and prints, keeping the trend interesting with each new take. Yesterday, the supermodel did it again when she suited up in Tanya Taylor’s striped version while shopping, presumably for more pants, in Beverly Hills.

The trousers she has sported this summer have often featured game-changing elements, such as extreme bell-bottoms and paper-bag waists, and today’s version also came with a fresh new twist: a wrap-tie belt. The shape-shifting detail billowed in the wind, and when set against with the pants’ vertical stripe, further elongated the silhouette’s lines. Demonstrating a clear understanding of how to balance proportions, Hadid coupled the voluminous pants with one of her go-to crop tops, then switched things up with a visible Versace bra top that mimicked the graphic message down below. She grounded the moment with Andre Assous loafer slides, polished yet causal, finishing off with a touch of texture via her favorite snakeskin Stalvey mini-bag—a style that, much like her trousers, has become one of her wardrobe signatures.
