Kendall Jenner is the new poster girl for the capsule wardrobe. The model had a very fashionable 24 hours this week, wearing three stylish looks – each one consisting almost solely of timeless wardrobe staples. It’s a reminder that investing in classic pieces can be one of the most sustainable ways to shop, given that you are more likely to repeat wear and hold on to each item.
Jenner started her series of outfits with a look ideal for the autumn season. She stepped out in New York wearing a buttery yellow trench coat from the Scandinavian brand Skall Studio, paired with black jeans, a grey tank top and a mid-size pouch handbag. Opting for a brighter yellow hue feels fresh – a fun update on the classic trench coat we dig out every autumn/winter.
Next, Jenner turned up the drama in a classic LBD from Bottega Veneta, worn with her favourite sleek sunglasses, a mini clutch bag and Bottega Veneta’s ‘Comet’ pumps. It’s a shining example of how you can still invest in classic styles, without compromising on your own unique aesthetic; just because pieces aren’t trend-led, this doesn’t mean that they can’t still make a statement. Jenner’s ruffled shoulders and daring leg-slit keep things sexy, while the mid-length oozes sophistication.
Finally, the model was pictured wearing an oversized pinstripe shirt, black shorts and loafers, and carrying Khaite’s ‘Weekender’ tote bag. She pulled her hair back and secured with a claw clip and added her favourite gold jewellery. Once again, the outfit is simple but effective: the slouchy shirt balances out a bare leg, while the loafers add some polished preppiness.
Of course, Jenner has a little help in the wardrobe department, working closely with her stylist Dani Michelle, who also counts other stylish women such as Hailey Bieber, Bruna Marquezine and Elsa Hosk as clients. She’s clearly been working hard: all three of Jenner’s recent looks are firmly on our inspiration mood board for autumnal dressing.
