Jorja Smith's Style Should Be On Your Radar — Here's Why

@jmoney

Since releasing her debut album, Lost and Found, Jorja Smith has been carving out a lane that's all her own — and she's thriving. From her gritty, soulful tone and her less-is-more makeup vibe, it's clear that the breakout star stays true to herself on all fronts. Aside from cementing herself as one of the most sought-after talents in R&B today, one look at the 21-year-old's Instagram proves Jorja Smith's style also happens to be seriously next level.

Just like the "Teenage Fantasy" singer's one-of-a-kind sound, her sense of style is striking and wide-ranging. Often making a nod to the jazz age with slinky satin pieces, Smith masterfully mixes in streetwear staples without sacrificing her affinity for old-Hollywood glamour.

Like her style, the budding star's sound has a timelessness that brings the greats like Billie Holiday and Amy Winehouse to mind — while also incorporating her own new-age twist. The Grammy-nominated artist isn't too shy to admit she's different from the rest, either, telling Pitchfork, “My voice makes the genre because I sound like me on all my songs — I’ve made my own genre: Jorja Smith."

Aside from photos declaring her love for her adorable pup, Ru, Smith's Instagram proves she's also got major love for dresses of all kinds. With activewear being a persistent mainstay in so many It-girls closets right now, Smith's femme sensibilities might refocus your eyes on more delicate items, just in time for spring.

To get your wheels turning about warmer days ahead, tap into the singer's exquisite style by shopping the Zoe Report's round up Jorja-approved dresses, ahead.
