If there's anyone out there that can make Uggs and leggings look chic, it has to be Kendall Jenner. With years spent at the epicentre of the fashion industry, the model's well-honed styling skills give her daily outfits an advantage—luckily for us, we can look to her for inspiration.
Wearing the trending sheepskin boots that top Christmas wish lists around the world, Jenner stepped out in a simple and cosy outfit composed of short Uggs and black leggings. While this style formula is nothing unique—I'm sure many of us have spent countless Sundays in the exact combination—her elegant knit entirely elevated the classic casual pairing.
While I would typically style leggings and Uggs with a roomy sweatshirt, Jenner instead chose to wear hers with a far more elegant wrap cardigan. Giving her outfit a ballet-inspired finish, Jenner's ensemble suddenly felt so much more polished.
While Uggs are beloved by fashion people for their cool and comfy design, their chunky shape doesn't always instil them with the chicest of qualities. Styling, however, can play a huge part in dictating the success of an Ugg outfit.
Wearing hers with a delicate wrap cardigan, Jenner's look made me instantly think of French women, who I regularly see wearing this type of knit. With a belt that secures around the body—rather than buttons that trace from the top to the bottom of the garment—wrap cardigans offer a seamless alternative to other knitwear options might look less considered with leggings and Uggs.
An elevated ensemble that's perfect for weekend lounging as well as running errands, I'll be taking my off-duty inspiration from Jenner (and Parisians) for now on.
