Emily Ratajkowski was spotted out in New York on Friday clad in a casual and cozy ensemble.

On the runway regular’s feet, Ratajkowski laced up a pair of cream-colored and light gray sneakers constructed of durable mixed leather and sheer mesh uppers with sleek white lace-up closures and a chunky and athletic silhouette. Additionally, the footwear included flexible and thick rubber soles fitted with non-slip tread and black accents that acted to further diversify the sneaker silhouette.

The pair have a retro quality, given the distressed and worn nature of the leather uppers. The shoe style is a go-to for many celebrities, Ratajkowski included. The chunky sneaker silhouette offered the “Gone Girl” star’s ensemble an athletic appeal while offering the model a much-needed break from her many heeled footwear choices. Ratajkowski tends to wear athletic-inspired sneakers, much like these, on her days off, often accompanied by athleisure.

The “We Are Your Friends” actress was outfitted in a black cropped oversized puffer jacket featuring a high neckline, zipper closures and a quilted texture. On the bottom, the thespian sported baggy black track pants featuring pocket detailing and a breezy construction. Rounding out her look, Ratajkowski toted thin black 90s-inspired sunglasses along with a large bright red checkerboard-printed duffle bag and gold jewelry. The model wore her dark brown hair parted down the middle and straightened, keeping it simple.

Ratajkowski’s off-duty style often includes white sneakers from brands like Vans, Nike and Koio. When it comes to shoes, the “I Feel Pretty” actress often wears strappy sandals, mules or pointed-toe pumps from affordable brands like Aldo and Femme, plus boots from Proenza Schouler, Celine and Stuart Weitzman. She previously founded her Inamorata line of intimates in 2017, which has since grown into Inamorata Woman, with categories like apparel, swimsuits and more.
