While wearing cropped jeans with booties may seem like the more "conventional" choice, stuffing loose jeans into boots actually feels so wrong that it’s so right. This is perhaps the most forward denim look of the moment.

2. Power Shoulders

Who: Jasmine Tookes

We covered the ’80s power-shoulder trend a few months ago as a look that’s been dominating thanks to its larger-than-life vibe. Yep, ditching a standard blouse or dress and switching it up with a power piece that’s a bit more out there is seriously where it’s at.

3. Cargo Pants

Always considered more of a polarizing trend, cargo pants have been rising up for the last few years as ’90s fashion comes back with fervor. While many may say they’re not as “sleek” as other pants thanks to the voluminous shape and conspicuously placed pockets, this silhouette is as legit as it gets, as Kardashian showcased while out and about in Los Angeles.

4. Birkenstocks

We recently highlighted this offbeat shoe as the silhouette French girls covet, but celebs like Kendall Jenner are also all about two-strap Birkenstock sandals. While you could wear them as is in warmer climates, you could also try them with socks as well for a cool feel.

5. Extra-Long Pants

It’s not super common to opt for a super-long pair of trousers. It’s the tailored or cropped silhouettes you see more and more of. But as Hadid proved here, pushing the boundaries with floor-sweeping pants is unique for fall.

6. "Muppet" Shoes

Furry slipper shoes continue to trickle their way throughout the fashion universe. It’s the Muppet-like footwear picks—e.g., the style Hadid is wearing here with colorful socks—that have that uncool-but-beyond-cool vibe right now. Plus, they’re as comfortable as it gets.
