Blackout Emily Ratajkowski stuns in head-to-toe black with a layered twist.

Emily Ratajkowski has become adept at mastering the art of dressing for any weather condition in New York City. As the city’s version of spring leans heavily into “April showers,” the supermodel refuses to let the rain dampen her street-style moments. Recently, she showcased her fashion prowess by briefly stepping out into the storm while employing a viral layering hack.For her rainy-day ensemble, Ratajkowski opted for a striking monochromatic look, dressed head-to-toe in black. The key to her outfit was a clever layering technique featuring three tops stacked atop one another. She was spotted in New York City sporting a sleek oversized leather blazer layered over a hoodie, with the collar of a black crewneck T-shirt peeking out. Complementing the tops, she wore a pair of baggy Weyes Blood sweatpants.

While Ratajkowski’s layering choice may seem simple at first glance, it inadvertently champions one of the year’s most effective styling tricks: the “shirt sandwich.” Although not groundbreaking on the surface, this method has proven to be both fashionable and functional, finding its place on runways and in street style alike.
