Over the past several years, Kendall Jenner has become synonymous with a pared-back, tailored fashion sense. Above all, though, she’s the patron saint of The Row. Any Jenner outfit is all but guaranteed to contain at least one piece of the Olsen-founded brand. Sure, nobody loves a Margaux bag and a Dune flip-flop more than her, but Jenner is much more than a walking billboard for the stealth wealth look.
One area where Jenner likes to experiment is with her outerwear, a wide-ranging collection of dramatic Phoebe Philo faux furs and menswear-inspired Bottega. And with an ever-growing collection of vintage from ’80s Alaïa to red-hot Mugler, she’s clearly not afraid of making a statement.
In Elements of Style, we’re distilling a celebrity’s fashion sense into its most basic components. Here, we break down the five key pieces in Kendall Jenner’s closet.
Statement Outerwear
While she may be a native Californian, Jenner has had no trouble embracing cold-weather fashions. In Aspen, she modeled a series of faux fur coats, from a ladylike Phoebe Philo to a strong-shouldered Balenciaga (with bug-eyed shades to match).
What: Phoebe Philo, Bottega Veneta, Balenciaga
Where: Aspen, a Schiaparelli fitting in Paris, Greenwich Village
Wear it with: Bug-eyed glasses, knee-high boots, a shearling bag, an ultra-miniskirt
Understated Bags
Jenner’s collection of bags from The Row is vast, spanning small silk accordion bags to colorful Margauxs. But she has also embraced tradition with Hermès bags—Kellys, to be exact.
What: The Row, Hermès
Where: Paris Couture Week, running errands in LA, out and about in New York
Wear it with: Strappy sandals, a skirt suit, Ugg minis, a leather bomber
Baseball Caps
Someone who’s been famous since childhood, Jenner knows the power of the baseball cap. Despite her LA roots, she’s repped multiple New York sports teams, from the Yankees to the Knicks. But nothing beats her Ralph Lauren Polo cap.
What: Ralph Lauren, the New York Knicks, New York Yankees
Where: Sitting courtside at the Knicks game, New York Fashion Week, the 2024 Paris Olympics, the US Open
Wear it with: A draped coat, a crop top, a sporty jacket, a Kelly bag
Straight-Legged Jeans
Jenner has stayed true to straight-legged pants throughout the wide-legged renaissance and the dawn of this new skinny jean era. While she isn’t married to any single wash, she is very loyal to the Khaite Danielle jeans.
What: Khaite
Where: Hanging around New York post-Met Gala, Place Vendôme, out and about in LA
Wear it with: A moto jacket, sleeveless tops, a plaid coat, rectangular sunglasses
Flip-Flops, Loafers, and Ballerina—Oh, My!
Weather-dependent, Jenner can usually be found in one of three shoes: a loafer in cold weather, and flats and flip-flops in the warmer months. Her rotation varies, but her rotation is always sleek.
What: The Row, The Row, The Row
Where: Dinner at Sushi Park, vacation in Saint-Tropez, leaving the Alaïa show, doing her best Bob Dylan in Greenwich Village
Wear it with: A newsboy hat, an oversized button-up, a sweater vest, Bermuda shorts, head-to-toe The Row

Ladylike Vintage
Jenner has developed a particular affinity for vintage Alaïa and Mugler, embracing structured, sexy suiting. One day, though, she’ll have the world’s largest collection of vintage The Row.
What: Mugler, Alaïa, Dolce Gabbana, John Galliano
Where: Paris Fashion Week, the Bezos-Sánchez wedding, the US Open
Wear it with: Straight-legged jeans, capri leggings, an Hermès Kelly, a headband
