If anyone knows how to make a simple outfit look chic, it’s Kaia Gerber. It’s not always designer brands and expensive pieces that make her outfits work – it’s pairing elevated basics with the right footwear. And for Kaia, that footwear is almost always ballet flats.

Instead of copying her outfits directly, we put our own spin on things. We’ve recreated her vibe with affordable alternatives (most under $100) that are just as stylish. We always recommend shopping your own closet first, but if you don't already own a pair of ballet flats, now's the time.

Shop the Outfits

A. Marc Jacobs Summer Femme Short-Sleeve T-Shirt, $98 B. Cou Cou Intimates The Petticoat, $165 C. Crap Eyewear The Funk Daddy, $89 D. Pull&Bear Shoulder Bag with Buckles, $25.90 E. Apple Earpods, $19.99 F. Tony Bianco Comma Black Nappa, $155

This is one of those outfits that’s so simple, yet so easy to make it match your personal style. Choose your favorite graphic tee (ideally vintage or vintage-inspired), and pair it with a flowy skirt. Add your go-to accessories and you’ve got yourself the easiest summer uniform. Thank you, Kaia!

A. Aritzia Role Top, $26.99 B. Stradivarius D91 Low Wide-leg Jeans, $49.90 C. Banbe The Rodrigo Sunglasses, $100 D. Mango Large Shopper Bag, $69.99 E. Luv AJ Amalfi Tube Hoops, $55 F. Tony Bianco Comma Black Nappa, $155

Save this one if you’re ever stumped on what to wear for a night out. Again, this is so simple – you got your basics (top + jeans) paired with refined accessories. The draped fabric on top adds that elevated touch.

A. Glassons V Neck Three Quarter Sleeve Top, $19.99 B. Cotton On Billie Slinky Skirt, $52 C. M Jewelers The Chrystie Essential Hoops D. Los Angeles Apparel Soft Suede Shoulder Bag, $114 E. Banana Republic Minimalist Pendant Necklace, $60 F. Tony Bianco Maddi Dove Nappa, $170

A heeled ballet flat is a great option for a dressier occasion, and Kaia proves that neutrals + one pop of color is all you need.

A. Rumored Prairie Top, $148 B. Zara Trf Low Rise Bootcut Jeans, $59.90 C. Crap Eyewear The Funk Daddy, $89 D. Lié Studio The Canvas Tote Bag, $55 E. Tony Bianco Comma Black Nappa, $155

Before you overthink your next outfit, why don’t you try on that frilly blouse that’s been sitting in the back of your closet? Pair it with low rise jeans and this one works for brunch, a date, errands, a city day… the list goes on.

A. Mango Fine-knit Straight-fit Cardigan, $69.99 B. Etmon Check Midi Skirt, $116 C. Coach Nolita 19 In Signature Canvas, $109 D. Banana Republic Minimalist Pendant Necklace, $60 E. Zara Suede Ballet Flats, $79.90

Another midi skirt!! If you only have one, that’s totally fine too. Pair any skirt with a cardigan for an easy look to add to the rotation.
