Kendall Just Wore a ’90s-Inspired Look That Carolyn Would Have Loved Leave a comment


Looks like someone’s been watching Love Story. Stepping out in Milan this week, Kendall Jenner styled an outfit that felt as though it had been lifted straight from Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy’s personal archive.

At the heart of the look was a sleek pencil skirt, cropped just below the knee, picking up on a silhouette Carolyn returned to time and again throughout the ’90s. No fuss, no over-styling, the clean lines and inherent elegance mean this is resurfacing as one of the season’s most compelling propositions.

On her feet, Kendall sidestepped the expected knee-high boots or slingbacks and instead opted for elegant high-vamp pumps. Entirely keeping with Carolyn’s understated formula, these shoes cover more of the foot, offering a refined finish, whilst the block heels ensure a steady step.

Keeping the impact high and the effort seemingly low, Kendall layered a simple black knit over her ensemble, slung a glossy leather shoulder bag under her arm and finished with slim ’90s-style sunglasses.
