I'll admit it—I'm obsessed with celebrity style. I regularly follow a select group of fashion people to see how they style different looks for outfit inspiration. One person I find myself consistently drawn to is model and entrepreneur Kendall Jenner. Once again, unsurprisingly, she caught my eye with her simple yet sophisticated look.
Yesterday, while stepping out at the Ritz Hotel in Paris, Jenner donned a pair of vintage-style straight-leg jeans. Instead of opting for an oversize coat, as she has done in the past, she reached for fall's hottest jacket trend—a cinched blazer. Combining classic denim with a popular jacket style, she completed the look with black ballet flats and a T-shirt, creating a timeless and effortlessly chic outfit.

Jenner's early fall outfit exudes an effortless blend of luxury and modernity despite its apparent simplicity. Pairing a formfitting blazer with classic blue jeans, she showcased how a carefully chosen jacket can infuse any look with a polished and on-trend touch. Her outfit not only reinforced her status as a fashion icon for many, including me, but also hinted at the enduring allure of the cinched blazer trend, inspiring confidence in anyone considering adding it to their wardrobe.
Given that Jenner's items are often expensive, I've found some affordable alternatives for her fitted blazer. These options allow you to mirror her sophisticated look without breaking the bank.
