1 min readGirls have been tying their sweaters around their waists since the 1990s. What began as a practical hack to carry extra layers of clothing, evolved into a fashion trend during the grunge boom, and has since made its way into other style realms: from preppy to sporty, to quiet luxury.
On Kendall Jenner, the styling hack is as easy and polished as her model-off-duty aesthetic.
The supermodel looked so effortlessly chic yesterday as she stepped out in downtown Los Angeles. The base of her look consisted of a boxy little white T-shirt with a cropped fit, which she wore sans bra, and breezy white pull-on pants.
Keeping to a black-and-white color scheme, the 818 founder accessorized with black sneakers, a spacious black tote—where she carried her fluffy little dog—black oval shades, and, yes, a black sweater, which she expertly tied around her waist. The move easily pulled the sleek outfit together, adding to the nonchalant feel of it all.
Jenner popped on some white-and-green Beats headphones for the outing, and her black hair was pulled back into a neat ponytail.
Jenner has been on an It-girl style streak since going public with her romance with Jacob Elordi. The two have been coordinating in preppy, all-American ensembles on their travels around the world, and the model has been taking style cues from minimalist icons like Carolyn Bessette Kennedy and Kate Moss. Meanwhile, we’re here basing our style choices on Jenner herself, and this easy-to-recreate look is definitely going on the mood board.
