Keep scrolling to discover Kaur's current wardrobe essentials.
Loafers
On Kaur: Prada loafers
"I love a great pair of classic loafers because, apart from being super comfy, they elevate just about everything. I throw them on with everything from old ripped jeans and everyday dresses to nice trousers, so the cost per wear is practically free."
Midi Skirt
On Kaur: Uniqlo skirt
"This versatile piece transforms easily from daytime to nighttime with a simple change of shoes."
Leather Jacket
On Kaur: Avec Les Filles jacket
"A leather jacket is a true staple, and I like to try and keep everything else polished when I wear one."
Striped Knit
On Kaur: St. Roche sweater
"This sweater has become a staple to my uniform. I've been wearing it on repeat and will continue to do so through the next season. I like to buy a fresh new one every fall with a subtle tweak to classic silhouettes."
Wide-Leg Pants
On Kaur: St. Roche pants
"These pants look so fresh in spring and summer and chic in winter."
Retro Sneakers
On Kaur: Adidas sneakers
"I love mixing classic pieces to get the right balance. These sneakers make a simple pair of trousers a million times cooler without screaming trendy."
Voluminous Dress
On Kaur: H&M dress
"This voluminous satin dress is a multifunctional piece that looks clearly elegant on its own, but creatively [layering] with a tuxedo jacket and heels or flats takes this silhouette to another level."
Oversize Coat
On Kaur: Zara coat
"For me, it's all about a great jacket or coat since it's the piece that completes an outfit and takes it from boring to spectacular—yes, even your most beat-up jeans."
Classic Heels
On Kaur: Maeve pumps
"The color and the cool heel of this pump make the most basic pieces look avant-garde."
Statement Necklace
On Kaur: Anthropologie necklace
"A statement necklace can look chic without being overpowering and distracting. It can even be a great piece to wear to work and, when layered, can easily transform a look from day to night."
Puffer Jacket
On Kaur: Nicholas K puffer jacket
"To me, it's the definition of an effortless essential. Keep it balanced by styling contrasting silhouettes together."
