6 Spring Essentials in Zoë Kravitz’s Timeless Cool-Girl Wardrobe
When Zoë Kravitz was announced as the March cover star for ELLE, fans went wild. And rightfully so. Her effortless sense of style has held many of us in a sartorial chokehold over the years.
What is it that makes every outfit she wears seem abnormally cool without that ‘trying too hard’ look? Well, a big portion of it is certainly intrinsic. I mean, her parents are two of the most captivating people on this planet. But it also helps that she’s never been a huge trend follower. Instead, her wardrobe is strengthened by styling tried-and-true essentials in a refreshing way. The proof is in the photos. Below, you’ll see that for over a decade she has anchored her closet with cool-girl staples that never go out of style. As you start planning your wardrobe refresh this spring, discover all of the sartorial secret weapons in Kravitz’s vault, ahead.

It’s an easy way to add excitement to a monochrome look or make casual pieces feel polished. Follow her lead and test out a pair of red mules that can be dressed up or down this season.
