These days Kaia Gerber is more than just a model or actress. She is also the founder of a book club that sells T-shirts with slogans on them. To promote the reading list she creates through her hot-girl literacy platform Library Science, she recently stepped out for a daytime meeting in a cozy, “I'm curled up in acoter” pajama outfit. [Celine Pilates princess and Hollywood cool-girl stylist Molly Dixon's new client Kaia Gerber, even if it did lend the bookish founder an image all her own, wore an oversized graphic T-shirt and sweatpants, she did not simply leave the house. Instead, she effectively used the same style instincts that can show how to wear black and navy or how to creatively wear a trendy white skirt.

It all started with a pair of It sneakers, the base of her slouchy Library Science T-shirt and Alo Yoga sweatpants. Specifically, Onitsuka Tiger retro runners, which she has worn in multiple colors since at least 2022.

“Okay,” you may be thinking. “It's sneakers are It, but are they really working hard enough to elevate Emily Henry's reading marathon-worthy sweatpants by themselves?” You may be thinking, “What if it's just a pair of sneakers? The answer is no, and Kaia Gerber knows it. So she threw a few more luxe accessories into the mix to juxtapose her PJs and braided pigtails.

First, she put on a pair of square-framed sunglasses. Then, two more accessories made things interesting. She slung a taupe bag over one shoulder, complementing the cream color of her T-shirt and pants. Gerber also layered her ears with coordinating silver earrings, including bejeweled huggies, diamond studs, and thread-thin silver hoops.

Between the color story and obvious designer appeal, Kaia Gerber did for pajamas what Katie Holmes did for the rising fall denim trend: brought them into an everyday context with some clever mixing and matching of neutrals. Each Gerber item alone would have felt like slumber party material or something for the next gym session. But the high-low mix of loungewear, It sneakers, and designer bags was all perfectly balanced.

Combined with Kaia Gerber's recent personal style, it is little wonder that the Bottoms actress made her carefree outfit look so good. Before spending a week in Paris wearing mother-daughter matching looks with Cindy Crawford, Garber hung out in New York in a series of outfits promoting her book club and fast-casual clothing; in late July, she and boyfriend Austin Butler attended a Broadway show In late July, she and boyfriend Austin Butler attended a Broadway show, where she showed off her curtain bangs along with a Library Science T-shirt. A few days later, she strolled through Soho in navy drawstring pants with her favorite ballet shoes.

Bottom line: Kaia Gerber's attire is a case for reconsidering the next time you're asked to leave the reading section.
