Kaia Gerber Wore a Trench Coat Just Like a Parisian—With This '90s Skirt Trend

Looking Parisian for fall is all I want to accomplish this year. Those girls are just so effortlessly chic. Something fall always calls for is a trench coat; it’s as classic and necessary as fashion items get. What I love most about a trench coat is its laid-back (yet polished) essence, which is something a Parisian cool girl always evokes. I would love nothing more than to emulate that. I've been searching high and low for the perfect trench coat look to recreate, and inspiration struck once I saw Kaia Gerber's most recent outfit.

While out to dinner in L.A. this week, Gerber was spotted wearing a classic khaki trench coat over a simple trend that was huge in the ‘90s, and that French women love: a knee-length skirt. She completed her look with a Chanel flap bag and a pair of simple block heels that looked both stylish and comfortable. This outfit combination is truly Parisian girl-approved, as fashion-forward influencers from Paris have eagerly endorsed the knee-length skirt trend—especially with a trench, and I found the proof.

This combination is absolutely elite if you need an easy-to-copy outfit that feels Parisian, so keep scrolling through to recreate this outfit and shop similar items.
