5 Pieces of Clothes to Dress Like Cindy Crawford

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at MSU chapter.

One of my most favorite American models and a famous icon to the fashion world is Cindy Crawford. Her ideology on fashion and bringing the ‘90s into a new decade of denim, leather, and oversized t-shirts and jackets inspired me to transform my closet to fit a more comfortable and stylish look. 

Here are 5 pieces of clothes that only Cindy Crawford herself would approve of:

5. Black Oversized Blazer

The blazer is such a sophisticated and professional look. A black blazer can perfectly be paired with a black lace top with skinny jeans and black heels. Or it can be paired with a black dress for more of a date night look.

My favorite black blazer(s):
HM Black Blazer
ASOS Black Blazer
Princess Polly Black Leather Blazer

4. Black Leather Jacket

Let’s rock! When it comes to the ‘90s, leather is typically a close second in mind when it comes to dressing the part. There is nothing more iconic then a classy black leather jacket, which can give you an edgy look as well as a taste of that rockstar mentality. You can pair a leather jacket with your favorite band t-shirt, a sweater for the colder weather, or a lace bodysuit.

My favorite leather jacket(s):
Zara Black Leather Jacket
Levi’s Oversized Black Leather Jacket
Lulus Black Moto Leather Jacket

3. Black Boots

Unfortunately I am not as tall as Cindy Crawford, but with a pair of black boots I can at least gain about four inches of height. What I love about a good pair of black boots is that it goes perfectly with any outfit. Whether it be a high rise black satin skirt or a pair of denim jeans, the sky’s the limit when it comes to pairing black boots. Plus, they are a lot more comfortable than heels and are better to wear during the cold weather.

2. White Button-Up Shirt

When I think of old time fashion, the button-up shirt represents the style of old money and professional-manner. Ralph Lauren made the oxford shirt a staple of American fashion and constantly improved the shirt throughout the generations. A white button-up shirt provides a very classic and professional look. It’s paired perfectly with denim jeans, a blazer, and a nice pair of boots. The white shirt can also be dressed with heels and dress pants to look like a true professional or representing the rich style fashion of white on white.

My favorite white button-down shirt(s):
Ralph Lauren Classic Fit Oxford Shirt
Lucky Brand Classic One Pocket Shirt
A&F Oversized Button-Up Shirt

1. Straight Leg Jeans

I always say you can’t go wrong with denim and there is nothing more American than a pair of Levi’s denim jeans. When you think of Cindy Crawford, the first thing that comes to mind is denim. Crawford pays homage to the ‘90s by wearing an iconic pair of Levi’s straight leg jeans. She usually fashions a pair of jeans with an oversized blazer or a leather jacket. Jeans are a staple and the perfect item for any wardrobe.

Rolla’s Original Straight Leg Jeans
Levi’s Wedgie Straight Leg Jeans
Levi’s Ribcage Straight Leg Jeans
