Zendaya could make anything look good, but her most recent ’fit may inspire you to think about your fall wardrobe in a whole new way.
On September 21, Zendaya posted a ’fit check to Instagram, mixing last season’s most comfortable trend with this season’s hottest shoe. In the car-window selfie, the 27-year-old Emmy-winning actor wore a slightly oversized gray T-shirt with a pair of rolled-up white boxers—a trend that had the girlies purchasing men’s underwear packs in droves this summer. She topped off the look with a navy “Warriors” cap, black sunglasses, and a pair of slouchy calf-high boots in a warm cognac color.
By pairing boots that are practically designed to be worn while sipping a pumpkin spice latte with a breezy pair of boxers, Zendaya took the style from a staples of the Christian girl autumn look to an It girl must-have in zero seconds flat. Zendaya didn’t just prove the validity of the wrong -shoe theory; she made a strong argument for the wrong-everything theory.
Yes, sports merch also goes with leather boots and a giant pearl ring. No, that doesn’t mean she’s engaged to Tom Holland—it just means she knows how to curate a nonchalant vibe. Either that or she just threw on the first items she saw before running errands and it just happened to work. Either way, it’s going on the Pinterest board.
That’s not to say that Zendaya is single-handedly bringing back the calf-height boot. The style was already shaping up to be the most popular shoe trend this fall, much to the chagrin of some millennials who have already lived through the slouchy boot and riding boot crazes of the 2010s. However, while the resurgence began this summer with celebs like Rita Ora and Dua Lipa rocking the slightly-under-the-knee style during the off-season, I’d argue Zendaya’s recent take on the trend is just as unexpected.
