Cast your mind back to 2019, when Katie Holmes stopped traffic in New York with her Khaite cashmere bradigan set. That moment affirmed her status as a knitwear influencer, and she’s served countless cozy looks in Manhattan since then. Following in Katie’s footsteps, Gigi Hadid has made snug knits a mainstay in her wardrobe, so much so that she launched her own label, Guest In Residence, which specializes in cashmere jumpers and basics.
The supermodel has a penchant for layering, and she isn’t afraid to try an offbeat color combination. Take the outfit she wore on October 10: she soaked up the autumn sunshine in brown trousers and a mint-green sweatshirt, with the collar of her brightly patterned knit peeping through.

In addition to happy-making knits, Gigi’s brand stocks hardworking staples in understated shades of grey and brown. Her favorite is the Everywear cardigan, which she has in the versatile Almond shade. As Gigi Hadid has demonstrated on several occasions, the Everywear cardigan can be worn any which way: wrapped around the shoulders, with a crop top and jeans, or layered beneath a jacket.
The core pieces in Gigi’s collection are inspired by her parents’ cashmere knits, which the model packed to take with her when she moved from sunny Los Angeles to New York nearly 10 years ago. “Those were the only cashmere pieces I owned for a long time,” she previously told Vogue. “I still have them.”
