Keep reading to figure out how you can pair these items into model-worthy outfits so you can dress like a model!

9 Outfits to Copy if You Want to Dress Like a Model

1. white button-down + skinny jeans + statement belt + brown boots
Though you may think that a model outfit is usually super casual or super dressed up, sometimes it can be perfectly in the middle.

A white button-down paired with skinny jeans and boots is chic yet simple. Of course, in a truly stylish woman fashion, don't forget your accessories such as a purse, sunglasses, and tasteful jewelry. A good outfit takeaway here is that a statement belt really dresses up an otherwise simple look! When looking to copy a model outfit, look for statement belts you can wear that draw attention to your figure, especially when worn with a tucked-in top.

2. black button-down + denim shorts + otk boots
Over-the-knee boots are one of the top ways to have an elevated outfit. What's great about them is that they can go with many different bottoms, such as these denim shorts. Also, want a way to fake long legs? Short shorts and tall boots are one way to do that.

You may or may not be surprised to see that a model off duty look doesn't mean a pair of heels. The whole idea is that your street style outfits are cool, yet casual, and a little bit of chic! To get that little bit of chic, try to find boots that have a slight heel to them. You can still elevate your look without looking ridiculous while running around town in sky-high stilettos.

3. white button-down + moto jacket + leather pants + black shoes
A black and white outfit is always going to be a classic, but there are ways to add some interest to your look. You can do that by looking for pieces with details, such as studded shoes, retro sunglasses, or a motorcycle leather jacket.

A good choice to have in your wardrobe will always be a black leather jacket. Actually, make that a great choice! This item will instantly add street-style cred and the best part is, is that you don't have to worry about what it will match in your wardrobe, because the answer? Almost everything! A leather jacket will look great over anything from a crisp button-down to a floral dress. It's a wardrobe must-have and there's no mistaking that leather pieces are a surefire way to nail a model outfit.

4. little black dress + flannel + ankle boots
Models don't try too hard when it comes to their outfits, and this look proves that. An open flannel adds casual ease to this relaxed outfit and a black mini dress shows off your shapely gams.

Borrow from the boys or shop in the men's department for your flannel because the more oversized the better! Pair this look with your tried and true classic ankle boots or opt for a more combat motorcycle style, depending on how you want to wear this look. Both options are model-approved!

This is the model look to copy when out and about. Especially in fall, as that's the perfect time to cozy up in oversized sweaters and leggings!

You can dress it up with accessories like layered necklaces, cool sunglasses, and sleek bags. Leather leggings are key in this look to make it look street-style cool, instead of run-of-the-mill.

As you can see, these outfit formulas were nothing groundbreaking, and all use items we can easily buy or better yet, use items we already have!
