This Kendall Jenner Legging Outfit May Make You Want to Ditch Skinny Jeans
Welcome to the first (of many, I presume) Kendall Jenner outfit post of the year. She has herself a new stylist (Dani Michelle) and her recent outfits couldn't be chicer. Jenner celebrated the latter part of the holidays with some of her family in Aspen, and when she wasn't on the slopes in ski pants and puffers, she was photographed wearing luxe outerwear, sweaters, boots, and yes, leggings.
We're, without a doubt, in the middle of "skinny jean season", and there's no denying that it's arguably the best denim style to pair with heavy winter clothes and chunky boots. But if you just can't with jeans anymore—or at least for the time being—I get it, and Kendall Jenner is doing her part to provide a solution: Just wear a sturdy pair of leggings. You'll be far more comfortable and get a similar effect to a pair of form-fitting skinny jeans.
For this particular outfit, Jenner wore a leather blazer with a turtleneck, brown knee boots, and black leggings, proving that leggings can be surprisingly chic (and black and brown do, in fact, go together). Scroll to see what I mean and to shop "sturdy" leggings for your own future outfits.
