Emily Ratajkowski was seen in New York wearing a waistcoat and cargo pants for a summer take on the dark academia aesthetic that has been trending on TikTok.

Emily Ratajkowski somehow managed to weave multiple trends into one streamlined look.

Ratajkowski’s choice featured a plunging neckline and a peplum silhouette that was cinched by a series of closures. She paired the sleeveless vest (which had a semi-open back) with a pair of low-rise trousers and white Superga sneakers. Accessories-wise, Ratajkowski went with a statement pendant and a brown leather mini bag on the shoulder.
