This Is How Kim Kardashian West Does Executive Workwear

Kim Kardashian West was a speaker at the annual Forbes Women's Summit in New York yesterday, and she put her own spin on Wall Street dressing. KKW sported the classic executive uniform—a pinstripe navy suit—for the occasion. She wore a double-breasted vintage Jean Paul Gaultier blazer with '80s power shoulder pads and matching suit trousers. But she put her own Kardashian stamp on the boardroom look by wearing the blazer without a shirt or blouse and pairing it with towering Tom Ford strappy stilettos. The double-breasted blazer with strong shoulders is set to be huge this autumn, and Kardashian West's vintage jacket proves this can look fitted and sleek rather than boxy and overpowering.
