Because nobody does ‘I just threw this on’ quite like a model off the runway.
To model in the 21st century is to run on 24-hour schedules, seamlessly slipping in and out of both gowns and identities. But what do models wear on their day off when comfort becomes the only criteria? The off-duty model aesthetic is all about finding the balance between relaxed ease and subtle polish. It's about timeless, versatile pieces that feel intentionally put together without trying too hard.
Think oversized scarves that add flair, a bold statement bag or boot for a pop of color, and effortlessly chic tailoring. Whether it’s sleek outerwear or a textured knit, the modern off-duty look is rooted in understated luxury. For this week’s SceneStyled edit, we’ve pulled together a selection of pieces from regional and international brands that embody this blend of comfort and style.
