Zendaya may be one of the biggest Gen Z stars in Hollywood, but the tried-and-true styling trick she was recently spotted in is borrowed straight from the millennial playbook. Yes, weâre talking about the infamous half-tuck. If youâre unfamiliar with the term, itâs a move popularized by millennials where one tucks only half of a shirt or tee into their skirt or trousersâgiving an outfit a more relaxed, nonchalant feel. Oh, this thing? I just threw it on! is the vibe.
Seen this morning in Los Angeles, Zendaya stepped out in a white graphic tee that was half-tucked into a pair of brown wide-leg trousers. You canât deny the power of the half-tuckâit instantly made her off-duty ensemble feel purposeful. The star applied that same styling move earlier this spring in New York City, when she wore Loeweâs âI Told Yaâ tee (long live Challengers!) that was half-tucked into black slacks, and paired with a chic trench coat overtop.
So, there you have it: The half-tuck is cool. Millennials get a bad rap for their fashion choicesâbe it skinny jeans or ankle socks, both of which Gen Z have deemed cheugyâyet Zendaya is powering the half-tuck forward. Though, when you look like Zendaya, you can basically pull off just about anything.
