This article captures two different moments in Gigi’s evolving off-duty wardrobe: a practical sneaker-and-blazer look worn during one of the couple’s final public outings together in March 2021, and a more rugged, utilitarian Fashion Week outfit from February 2022 after their separation following an alleged altercation involving Gigi’s mother, Yolanda Hadid.
Though their relationship began in 2015 and included multiple breakups—including a brief split in 2018 before they reunited in 2019 and welcomed daughter Khai in 2020—both outfits reflect the effortless model-off-duty style Gigi continued refining through changing personal chapters and shifting fashion trends.
1. March 2021: Gigi Hadid Balances a Relaxed Blazer, Denim, and Reebok Sneakers in New York
Before heading out in Manhattan on March 25, 2021, Gigi Hadid embraced the relaxed, layered street style that defined much of early-2020s New York fashion.
Walking alongside Zayn Malik while pushing daughter Khai’s stroller, she balanced tailored outerwear with casual denim and sporty sneakers for a practical off-duty look built around comfort and everyday wearability.

Gigi Hadid’s Reebok x Victoria Beckham sneakers reflected the growing early-2020s shift toward streamlined retro trainers that balanced athletic comfort with polished street style.
Paired with oversized tailoring, relaxed denim, and cropped basics, the low-profile silhouette captured the understated sneaker aesthetic that became central to model-off-duty dressing in New York.

2. February 2022: Gigi Hadid Grounds Her Layered NYFW Look With Dr. Martens 1460 Boots
By February 2022, several months after her split from Zayn Malik, Gigi’s street style had shifted toward the layered, utilitarian aesthetic that was dominating New York Fashion Week at the time.
Heading to Michael Kors’ Fall/Winter 2022 show in Manhattan, she paired cropped knitwear, low-rise white jeans, oversized outerwear, and rugged Dr. Martens 1460 boots for a winter-ready outfit that blended practicality with downtown model-off-duty styling.
The look reflected the early-2020s embrace of combat boots, leather layers, relaxed denim, and oversized textures—fashion staples that continued influencing street style well beyond the season itself.
While the layered Nili Lotan shearling vest and leather jacket added texture and warmth, the classic 8-eye Docs grounded the look with the durable silhouette that has remained a fashion staple for decades.

At New York Fashion Week, Gigi arrived at the Michael Kors Fall/Winter 2022 presentation in a casual winter outfit built around layered neutrals, cropped knitwear, and one of fashion’s most enduring boot silhouettes.
Walking towards the venue, Gigi offered a glimpse of her toned abs in a blue-and-white cropped sweater paired with low-rise white jeans.
She bundled up in style, layering a black leather jacket and a Nili Lotan “Jesse” shearling vest over her outfit. Her beige suede vest featured an open front and shearling trims and lining.
Gigi accessorized the look with diamond earrings, a Jacquie Aiche Labradorite Honey Comb necklace, and oversized Dior sunglasses that reinforced the outfit’s relaxed downtown feel.

With her long tresses pulled back into a high ponytail, Gigi rounded out her street-chic winter outfit with a pair of Dr. Martens 1460 boots that you can buy at Shopbop and Nordstrom.

Originally introduced in 1960, the Dr. Martens 1460 boot remains one of the most recognizable combat-boot silhouettes in fashion.
Gigi’s pair of brown leather boots added structure and durability to her layered winter outfit while keeping the look practical for a busy day during Fashion Week.
