As any city-dweller will tell you, dressing for the warmer months isn't always easy. Sure, heavy coats and layers no longer burden us, but constructing an outfit that feels aptly smart and heat-wave proof can prove challenging when you only fancy putting on a bikini.
Stepping out in Paris over the weekend, Kendall Jenner proved that summer dressing can be both elegant and uncomplicated. Running between appointments, the model opted for sleek black flip flops to facilitate her busy day. With '90s charm and a relaxed silhouette, the flip-flop trend has taken off in fashion circles this summer. Whist flip flops are undeniably a casual shoe, the leather composition of Jenner's pair made the trend feel all the more city-appropriate.
Making the most of summer temperatures, the It girl paired her classic summer sandals with a simple satin skirt. Skimming the body and falling to calf length, Jenner's skirt helped to instil her look with a polished energy that looked decidedly chic on the Parisian streets.
Anchoring her casual look, Jenner selected a rising autumn bag trend to complete her French ensemble. Selecting The Row's Margaux EW Clutch (£5420) in the shade Cyprus—a rich forest-green tone, the model balanced her light look with an earthy shade whilst welcoming in a new-season trend ahead of the rest of us. Autumnal shades (such as this loden green, burgundy or khaki) across handbags were something we witnessed on the autumn/winter 2024 runways, and the move can provide the entry-point into the new season before everything else feels suitable.
Balancing sweltering temperatures with Paris' unspoken dress code, Jenner's skirt, shoe and bag formula is a lesson plan in sleek style. Read on to discover her look and shop our edit of the best satin skirts and flip flops below.
