I Tried Out the New Fashion-Insider Uniform That Kendall Jenner Put on the Map

by Kristen Nichols

Recently, Kendall Jenner stepped out onto the streets of New York City wearing a decidedly simple outfit: a look heavily steeped in pieces from The Row, including a pair of slouchy khaki trousers topped with a white T-shirt and an oversize button-down, plus a waist-cinching belt and strappy heels. A departure from some of Jenner's signature skin-baring looks, the tailored outfit feels fresh and cool—and taps into the "oversize everything" trend that we've been seeing on the rise on the runways and street style scene.

Soon after Jenner was spotted wearing the look, I began seeing it everywhere on Instagram, and the outfit formula has quickly unfolded as the new fashion-insider uniform. Since it really speaks to my penchant for tailored outfits involving easy basics, I decided to pull some pieces I already own from my closet to give it a try. Here, see my interpretation of the look and the cool ways fashion people are wearing it themselves.

XXL totes are having a moment, and this is the perfect outfit to pair them with.

Instead of a T-shirt, you can also try out a ribbed tank top to add some texture.

With Sleek Sunglasses

In my opinion, sunglasses are a key piece to finish any look.

My collection of chain jewelry is continually growing, so I'm always looking for new ways to style the pieces.

Yep, hoop earrings are a no-brainer to add a little something to this simple outfit.

I wear slingbacks more than any other shoe style in my closet and think they look so good with a pair of tailored pants.
