If anyone knows how to make jeans look their best, it's Kendall Jenner. A frequenter of the world's most exclusive fashion circles, the model and reality TV star has no shortage of styling inspiration.
Seemingly spending as much time cultivating her off-duty wardrobe as she spends on her red-carpet looks, Jenner has honed a rotation of stylish basics that make her day-to-day outfits look beyond chic. As such, I wasn't surprised to see her step out in the exact jacket and flat shoes combination that makes straight-leg jeans look their most stylish for spring. A pairing so nice she wore it twice, Jenner emerged this week wearing a suede jacket, comfortable straight-leg jeans and black leather loafers on two occasions. Each component, elegant in its own right, was heightened when placed with the others.
Adding texture to her easy denim outfit, Jenner's tan blazer picked up on the huge suede trend whilst adding lightness and alternative texture to her casual look. Amping up the elegance, her rich black loafers added a polished element with their shiny leather finish and sleek, streamlined cut.
Whilst denim trends ebb and flow, I find that straight-leg silhouettes are the most timeless of all. Grazing the leg without clinging to it, nor flaring out dramatically, these '90s-inspired jeans transcend seasonal trends, looking as chic in spring with a sleek black loafer as they do in winter with a sharp leather boot.
Read on to discover Jenner's easy three-piece look that guarantees a sleek silhouette, and shop our edit of the best suede jackets, straight-leg jeans and loafers.
