Hilary Duff is like the queen of casual basics, and I want to show you how easy it is to recreate some of her looks so you too can be the queen of this classic, clean style.

I have seen a trend on TikTok where people “steal” celebrities styles. I have seen people dress like Kristen Stewart, Dakota Johnson, the Hadid sisters and Zoë Kravitz. I thought it was such a fun idea, so I asked my followers on Instagram to vote for which style the wanted me to steal. I had them choose between Hilary Duff, Kendall Jenner, the Olsen twins, and Zoë.

The overwhelming answer was Hilary Duff, which after I started looking into her style, I figured out it’s because so many people probably love how effortlessly chic her outfits are. It’s like the girl can’t lose. Her streetwear is alway so spot on.

Below I’m going to show you three main elements I feel make up her style, what you need to pull off a casual basics style, and then four outfits I recreated and items you can purchase in order to recreate those looks as well.

Neutral Color Palette

If you look at the collage I created, you will see there is a very particular trend. Hilary loves an extremely neutral color palette. When you look up her streetwear, you will see most of her outfits are solid color in grey, black, white, cream, etc. Every once in a while she will add a graphic tee, but for the most part she stays away from a lot of patterns as well. Her closet is super versatile that way. Her clothes can be easily mixed and matched.

Classic and Clean Elements

When I was looking up her style, I made note of how clean and classic her wardrobe is. I couldn’t tell what year some of her photos were from because the items weren’t dated. While she is extremely trendy and super cool (that may be my girl crush speaking), she doesn’t let trends take over her everyday wardrobe.

There are for sure elements of trends in some outfits, but for the most part she wears super classic pieces that will transcend trends. Even her accessories are super classic looking. Classic gold hoops, versatile bags, simple shoes. Everything about her wardrobe feels so cohesive.

Repeated Elements

Speaking of cohesive, when I was picking what looks to recreate, I realized I could easily pick outfits where I could style a few pieces more than once because she is an clothing item repeater. Which I love for a celebrity. For instance I saw her wearing this cropped grey sweatshirt in a few street photos, and I also saw her post a photo to her IG wearing the same sweatshirt. We have to love a celebrity who repeats their looks more than once.
