By now, we know Emily Ratajkowski to be many things: red carpet darling, Certified Bombshell™, and model/actress/activist all wrapped into one (just check her Instagram bio).

With an affinity for minimalist body jewelry and a knack for layering, our girl has an off-duty aesthetic and personal style that’s enviably effortless, and it’s majorly inspiring our outfits lately. So, we’re breaking down the ten tips we’ve learned from stalking the top model’s style, and, lucky for us, all of her go-to looks are surprisingly easy to emulate.
Click through to see how EmRata’s redefining model-off-duty fashion—one jean jacket at a time—and get some styling tricks along the way.

You Can't Be a Badass If You're Not a Feminist
All you need is a corset, a graphic tee, and, you know, a belief than men and women are equal. Add borderline-excessively ripped jeans and gold hoops for extra flare.

When In Doubt, Put on a Slip Dress
Our (and probably Em Rata’s) motto: Just throw a slip dress on and you can’t go wrong. This pastel shade just became our new favorite color for summer.
