The SI Swimsuit cover star, who has posed for the brand four times, styled the Essential Cashmere Hooded Zip-Up ($198) with a crisp white tee and baggy dark denim jeans.

The product is knit with the Canadian label’s coveted midweight 100% cashmere yarn, certified to The Good Cashmere Standard®. It features a zip closure, hi-hip length and fully fashioned construction for a flattering fit. It’s the definition of everyday luxury—soft, sustainable and timeless.

Styling & glam

The New Jersey native added a scholarly twist with sleek black eyeglasses and kept her jewelry to a minimum, only accenting her wrist with a luxe, dainty silver watch.

Her long, dark locks were smooth and straight, and she opted for simple glam: a flawless base, feathered brows, rosy cheeks and a glossy taupe lip. Posing for a few close-up snaps, the fashion entrepreneur and singer showed off her signature smolder and soft smize.

“little red 🤓 @aritzia #aritziapartner,” Nu captioned an IG carousel.

While her exact cardigan is a limited shade and a bit of a splurge, red knits are a classic you can wear year after year. Dress them up with leather trousers and heels or down with jeans and sneakers. Either way, you’ll be channeling Nu’s chic, effortless energy.
