The Kardashian-Jenner clan is undeniably one of the most fashionable families in history. Yeah, their celebrity status is controversial, but I am definitely a fan of the fam that’s always a step ahead of the fashion world.
For my sorority semi-formal last week, I took inspiration from the current staples of Kimmy K’s closet. Form-hugging midi-dresses, jewel-encrusted chokers and perspex heels straight out of the ‘90s frequently appear on the celeb apparel tabs of the Cosmopolitan Magazine snapchat story.
Crushed velvet is ragin’ for fall 2016. I found a Lulu’s (www.lulus.com) burgundy velvet knee-length dress with a shallow “V” cowl neck and fell in love. The color’s rich tone exudes luxury at an affordable price ($42 to be exact).
Kim and Khloe often rely on the classy midi-silhouette to accent their natural curves. The style is flattering for any body shape, especially with a scooped neck and a ruched tummy.
Following the literal footsteps of Yeezy’s Season 2 shoe collection, I found a banging pair of perspex heels from Public Desire. Their recent collaboration with up-and-coming model Hailey Baldwin features all the latest trends with perspex-heeled everything, knee-high boots and sheer latex booties.
My $44.99 pair of glitter-cored heels looked so much like the Kardashian-Jenner’s go-to shoes that I was frequently asked if they were real Yeezys. The clear straps elongate the legs and are some of the most comfortable heels I own. (www.publicdesire.com/us)
I chose a one-layer strand rhinestone choker to bring a little bling. I wanted simplicity, but if I were Kim and the diamonds were real, I would go all out with thick necklaces too. (https://www.etsy.com/listing/261520833/moonlight-rhinestone-choker-diamond?ref=shop_home_feat_4)
As much as I love dressing up, on a day-to-day basis I can’t pull off wearing designer dresses and stilettos to class like the older Kardashian sisters. Kendall and Kylie’s street style can easily be translated to everyday closets.
I recently purchased an oversized mauve distressed sweatshirt from Charming Oaks that would blend right in with Kylie’s athleisure wardrobe. Paired with Adidas leggings or over-the-knee leather boots, the cozy top looks nicer than sweats but doesn’t try too hard.
Though I haven’t figured out how to bring the corset-over-a-t-shirt look off the streets of LA, the youngest Jenner’s favorite camouflage is easy to find this fall. A cool way to make a cheap statement top is to follow the sisters and DIY a t-shirt. Kendall has been wearing vintage shirts with a “V” cut into the front, leaving the neckline intact but adding a flattering flash of skin. Using a camo top can blend some of their favorite casual looks.
Kendall showcases her supermodel legs daily in vintage denim and menswear-inspired outfits. Whether she’s wearing cutoff shorts, frayed skirts or mom jeans, the look can be copied easily and comfortably. Detailed belts and simple tanks can complete the no-fuss outfit.
The Kardashian-Jenner clan is a frontrunner in the world of fashion. I love how they can dress beyond the nines but be spotted the next day with a fresh face and sneaks. Their individual styles are well worth copying.
