6 Fall Knits Inspired by Gigi Hadid’s Instagram • budget FASHIONISTA


Gigi Hadid recently earned style headlines for wearing a yellow triangle top to the red carpet premiere of “Deadpool & Wolverine.” She paired the piece with a low-slung A-line skirt and a chunky belt — an ensemble that’s mostly unforgiving unless you’re a supermodel.   

While Hadid makes good use of her physical gifts, she does opt for down-to-earth styling on occasion. In 2022, she founded knitwear company Guest in Residence. And a scroll through her Instagram feed shows her lounging here and there her own brand of sweaters, cardigans, and knit dresses.

With fall edging ever closer, the time is right to start clarifying your fall knit needs. And since everyone’s talking about Hadid right now, we might as well take inspiration from her. Here’s a look at 10 Hadid-inspired knits to set you up for your coziest fall yet.

1. Sleeveless

In a paid collab with Maybelline, Hadid appears in a sleeveless, split-collar cable knit with buttons. The top is a pretty dark taupe, which complements her fresh-faced look beautifully.

Anthropologie’s Varley Bains Half-Zip Knit Tank nods to the look with its rich color and textured pattern. Sure, it has a zipper instead of buttons — but that gives you the opportunity to make the look your own. Plus, this top is an ideal transition piece. Wear it over a tank when it’s still warm. When it cools down, swap in a long-sleeved tee instead.

2. Short-sleeved and collared

Sporting a simple gray polo-style sweater, Hadid reminds us that knits are an easy upgrade to tee shirts. Use this style hack on casual days that demand a smidge of extra polish.

A piece that can help you make it happen is Trussardi’s gray, short-sleeved sweater, currently discounted 55% at Yoox. Wear it with jeans or a silky blue skirt. It’s that versatile.

3. Oversized crew

In an announcement for Guest in Residence’s Fall 2023 collection, Hadid dons an oversized striped crew neck sweater with jeans and patent loafers while munching on what looks like a bagel and cream cheese.

I couldn’t find that sweater on the Guest in Residence website, but Faherty has a cozy option that’s just as functional. Tuck it in or wear it out, let the sleeves hang over your hands or roll them. This loungy piece adjusts to your mood and looks great in the process.

4. Sweater dress

Another Guest in Residence promo post features Hadid wearing a bold red sweater dress with a midi hemline. It’s a tight knit but looks luxuriously soft.

The Quaid Knit Sweater Dress by AG in red amaryllis is a good substitute for the real thing. You can find it at Nordstrom Rack, currently discounted by 73%. Reach for this dress when you’d like to make a statement effortlessly.

5. The bold cardigan

Hadid’s feed features her separately in a sleek pink cardigan and a purple one.  

BP.’s rib crop cardigan, available at Nordstrom, captures the vibe perfectly. Pair it, unbuttoned, with a t-shirt and high-waisted bottoms. Or keep the buttons closed and use this cardigan as a top. The soft pink color teams nicely with tans, dark denim, grays, and blacks. Choose white bottoms in the fall to bring a breath of fresh air into every room you enter.

6.  Knit duster

In her new mom days, Hadid wore a thick-knit, ankle length duster with a beanie and sweatpants. This is the kind of cozy, lazy day ensemble we can all support, right? Even better, the same duster can easily add a stylish twist to leggings, ankle boots, and a cute top.

Bluegrey’s BAEA Ribbed Knit Long Line Duster Cardigan can be that multitasking garment. Get it from Nordstrom Rack soon for 51% off.

Unlikely style inspo

Hadid inspires many with her alluring style, but her outfit choices are often not suitable for the masses — especially those of us over 40. Fortunately, since her 2022 launch of the Guest in Residence brand, she’s shown more of her down-to-earth side. And that’s the side we can emulate at any age or shape.
