When it comes to mastering off-duty city style, few couples do it as effortlessly as Chrissy Teigen and John Legend.
During a summer outing in New York City on July 30, 2021, the pair showcased how to blend high-fashion investment pieces with approachable street style in the heart of SoHo.

John Legend opted for a monochrome foundation, pairing a crisp black shirt and trousers with Tom Ford “James” low-top sneakers.
These luxury trainers ($990) are a masterclass in the “elevated basic,” offering a sleek silhouette that bridges the gap between athletic wear and formal tailoring.

The then-35-year-old model was all smiles for their outing. Putting her sartorial prowess on display, Chrissy wore a ‘90s-style loose-fitting pistachio green camisole that features a black lace panel and pin-thin straps. It’s called “Theophilia” from the French label Gauchere ($790).
The mom-of-two tucked her top into a pair of Citizens of Humanity “Charlotte” high-rise straight jeans with distressed knees ($208), adding edge to her look.

Adding a touch of glamour to the casual outfit, Chrissy layered her look with a Saint Laurent wool coat ($4,890).
It features a dramatic feathered collar, long sleeves, and internal padded shoulder pads. It’s designed for a slightly loose fit and includes a tie belt to cinch at the waist.

The Cravings cookware founder pulled her tresses into a top knot, showcasing her multiple stud earrings. She further enhanced her look with neutral makeup, highlighting her eyes with mascara and defined brows, and adding a swipe of pink lipstick.
She then carried her essentials in a $7,100 Bottega Veneta Point bag in Intreccio macramé Seagrass, featuring a top handle and a magnetic frame closure.

Off-Duty Comfort: A Masterclass in Luxe-Casual with JW Anderson Chain Slides
Later that day, Chrissy was photographed leaving her apartment building in Soho. The Lip Sync Battle host kept things low-key in a multicolored patchwork flannel shirt worn over a black bra top and black leggings.

Keeping her accessories simple, she wore multiple stud earrings and hid her low bun underneath a green baseball cap. She then carried a canvas tote over her arm and a large orange Hermès Birkin bag in one hand.
