Gigi Hadid's Go-To Pants Are Already In Your Closet
If I could raid any model’s wardrobe, I’d likely end up with a closet full of Gigi Hadid’s favorite jeans. Look at any street style photo of Hadid and you’ll understand — the 23-year-old has an impeccable collection of off-duty outfits, many of which center around the perfect pair of jeans. Since sifting through her closet in real life is unlikely, I dug through Hadid’s best street style moments of the year to find out which denim brands the model relies on time and time again.
Spoiler alert: One of her favorite lines hits below the $100 mark. Better yet, there’s a good chance you already have a pair sitting in your dresser right this very second.
It turns out even a model with access to an unlimited supply of clothes is a creature of habit. Although Hadid opts for a variety of jean styles (think: high-waists, tapered legs, vintage washes, the works), she keeps a handful of brands in constant rotation. Ahead, shop four Hadid-approved denim brands that should be on your radar — and considering anything attached to the model's name has a high sell-out rate, I suggest getting your hands on these ASAP.
Gigi In McGuire
Hadid has a knack for choosing jeans with the perfect amount of distressing — the model doesn't shy away from rips, frays, and whiskers, but she typically skips out on any styles with gaping holes. That's where McGuire comes into play: Each pair features subtle nods to vintage, lived-in washes, while keeping true to clean silhouettes. Here, Hadid wears the Newton Skinny in La Rive, a high-waisted, tapered jean with slight fraying at the ankles.

Gigi In Levi's
If you need more proof that the jeans you wore in high school are officially back, look no further than Hadid's very-own obsession with Levi's. Here, the model serves an excellent throwback in a pair of Levi's 501 Taper Jeans, which feature a super-high waist and comfortable room throughout the legs.

Gigi In RE/DONE
Thrifting a pair of vintage denim sounds easy, but digging through heaps of jeans only to maybe score a pair your size requires patience (not to mention, time). Enter, RE/DONE: the brand that reworks vintage jeans into modern patterns and sizes. Follow Hadid's lead by scoring a pair of the brand's classic Stove Pipe Jeans, which include a subtly flared leg and minimal distressing.

Gigi In Sandro Paris
It's no secret that Hadid frequents the denim of Paris-based Sandro — after being photographed multiple times in the brand's light-wash Straight Cut Jeans (which feature an exposed zipper and topstitched seams), the style has nearly sold out entirely. Luckily the brand is stocked with styles of a similar nature — exposed hemlines and all.
