Show of hands: who else is struggling to find outerwear<\/a> that can keep up with this wishy-washy weather? If you\u2019re also desperately on the hunt for transitional<\/a> jackets that are functional and<\/em> chic, look no further than the wardrobe of style\u2019s chicest It girls.<\/p>\n Fashion\u2019s finest, including Bella Hadid, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and Zo\u00eb Kravitz, all got the memo on what spring\u2019s most versatile jacket is: the sporty windbreaker. And, as of last week, Zendaya just entered the chat. The Euphoria<\/em> star apparently likes the gorpcore fave so much, she designed<\/em> her own.<\/p>\n Last week, the Euphoria <\/em>actor announced she\u2019s dropping a collection with Swiss footwear label On. Zendaya has been the brand\u2019s face<\/a> since 2024, and now she\u2019s expanding her ambassador role into co-designer. To bridge sports and fashion, she co-created a footwear and apparel collection with On and her longtime stylist, Law Roach<\/a>, to be released on Thursday, April 16.<\/p>\n Apart from ribbed tanks, parachute pants, and new sneakers, Zendaya also designed a quarter-zip windbreaker. The hooded two-toned design featured an ivory center panel sandwiched between blacks. Zendaya leaned into the sporty aesthetic in the corresponding campaign, pairing hers with noir track pants and cream shoes. <\/p>\n Zendaya is the latest in a long line of It girls who\u2019ve recently cosigned the windbreaker and expanded its possibilities beyond its gorpcore stereotype. Hadid went the corp sleaze route<\/a> by pairing her electric blue jacket with a glossy leatherette skirt, while Huntington-Whiteley went the understated, cool-girl route by rocking her oat outerwear with black jeans, pointed-toe boots, and a top-handle bag. <\/p>\n Meanwhile, both Kravitz and Charli XCX practically wore theirs with lingerie. The \u201cparty 4 u\u201d singer styled her red-and-blue jacket with peach satin shorts with a lace trim, \u00e0 la nightwear, and Kravitz rocked a funnel-neck windbreaker with a yellow lace-trimmed slip. Who knew the gorpcore staple looked so chic with intimates?<\/p>\n If you hike, climb, or do anything remotely sporty, you likely already have a windbreaker in your closet, but you can easily boost its stylish potential by wearing it beyond sporting endeavors. Pull a Hadid and give it an office-friendly update with a pencil skirt, or go the NSFW route by pairing it with your go-to nightgown. If you don\u2019t have one yet or just prefer to expand your selection, consider a hooded piece for extra functionality or one with a funnel neck, a trending collar style this spring<\/a>. <\/p>\nZendaya\u2019s Sporty Styling <\/h2>\n
