Carolyn Bessette-Coded—Kendall’s Latest Look Is Pulled Straight From the ’90s Style Icon’s Playbook
The Skirt! The shoes! The sunglasses! Kendall's latest look is so Carolyn Besset-coded.
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.
Enduringly chic, the knee-length skirt and high-vamp pump pairing looks elegant every time. Scroll on to shop the knee-length skirts and high-vamp heels I recommend investing in now.
