Maybe it's her effortless ease or the fact that she models clothes for a living, but there's something about Kendall Jenner's style that sets her apart. Unfazed by fleeting trends, she consistently turns to simple yet elegant wardrobe staples—pieces that feel timeless rather than too trendy. And for that reason, I always find her a reliable source of inspiration when I'm looking for ways to elevate my everyday outfits.
This week was no exception. Spotted out and about in Paris, Jenner caught my eye styling a selection of classic pieces in a way that felt impossibly chic. Setting the tone for her look, Jenner opted for a trench coat with impact, choosing a streamlined funnel-neck silhouette that extended up to her jawline. Dramatic yet minimalist, this underrated neckline adds a structure to an outfit, making it feel more standout than typical trenches.
Next came her choice of denim—sleek, straight-leg jeans that hit just above the ankle. Skipping trending flares and skinnies, Jenner stuck to a tried-and-true classic, proving once again that simple tailoring always wins. But while these two pieces alone created a strong foundation, it was her footwear that truly elevated the look. Not quite high heels, not quite flats, yet potentially even chicer than both, Jenner stepped out in the heart of Paris wearing a pair of The Row Satin Kitten Heels (£1,120), and I haven’t stopped thinking about them since.
In a rich mole shade, the glossy satin finish of her shoes added depth and warmth to her ensemble, subtly elevating her look in a way that felt both refined and understated. Perfectly in tune with Parisian elegance, her choice has me reconsidering my usual rotation of black leather shoes in favour of something a little softer, shinier and special-looking.
