Zoë Kravitz : Effortlessly Herself.

Zoë Kravitz, daughter of style icons Lisa Bonet and Lenny Kravitz, has made a distinguished impact on the styles we see on the streets of New York, Boston, Chicago, and even those in our hometowns. Zoë Kravitz’s style is driven by her honesty and authenticity… articles of clothing that are never complex nor conventional. It can be driven by plaid trousers, a knit dress, crop tops, and what seems to be a pattern with Zoë, the perfect pair of sunglasses. As an actress, Kravitz’ style resonates in her hit series’ High Fidelity and Big Little Lies, which has not only inspired me, but millions of viewers across the globe to upgrade our wardrobes. The classics, such as loafers, 501 jeans, and maxi skirts, are woven into Zoë’s everyday style that can easily be incorporated into your fall look. As summer comes to an end, we need to be ready for not only the cool “back to school” breeze and crisp leaves gently blowing our way, but that first day homeroom roll call. Here is the one piece of advice I would like to share with you, and I have a feeling Zoë would too; when preparing for the fall, wearing what you feel most comfortable in and owning it is key, but to really own it you must layer it. Understanding the process of layering is vital when wanting to have a fresh look. It starts with a simple long sleeve blouse or shirt, then a light cardigan, and lastly, either finish it off with a vintage leather jacket or a neutral trench coat, even a blazer will do. Layering has always been a reliable source for Zoë and her stylist, Andrew Mukamal. In an interview with Vogue, Andrew Mukamal claims that, “Zoë has a vision for herself and her life. She never says ‘styling is your job, you do it’. We’re in it together. And she has a hawk eye for detail. If something doesn’t sit right, she’s on it”.

• Note to self, wear what you want and how you want, thanks Zoë!

Being comfortable in your skin, is the most important factor when it comes to Fashion. For Zoë , her personal style is rooted in one word; comfort. Something so broad yet, so hard to find when living up to the expectations we seek from everyone around us. Being in high school, there is so much pressure to fit in and to look a certain way, that in the end we forget who we really are. This year has been a turning point in my life, I have discovered my worth, I have found my real friends, and I am proud to say that, I did all of this while wearing what I feel most comfortable in. Zoë Kravitz is an inspiration for all the young boys and girls who struggle to uncover their individuality. If you feel most confident in a pair of joggers and a sweatshirt, with a pair of chunky hoops and a red lip, go for it ! If you want to wear a silk, mini dress with a pair of platform boots and dainty necklaces, make it work! And if all you want to do is relax in your white, fluffy robe with with a face mask and your favorite lip scrub, just do it! That’s the beauty of Fashion, there are no rules, and with the styles that Zoë has given us and assembled through the years, she has proven that being and feeling bold can be as easy as the feel of your favorite jeans and Reebok classics.
