Kendall Jenner has many fashion moods, but “preppy” isn’t often one of them. Taking a break from the ultra-luxe aesthetic that she’s been experimenting with recently, Jenner stepped out this week in a chic autumn outfit that told me she’s officially entered her polished era.
Wearing a black Reformation miniskirt (£98), and a grey knitted vest layered over a blue striped shirt, Jenner’s look was off to a playfully preppy start. Leaning into the smart nature of her polished outfit, Jenner reached for the specific shoe trend I always see fashion people wearing with their smartest looks. Instead of trending Mary Janes or kitten heels, Jenner selected sleek leather loafers to complete her weekday look.
But, rather than selecting a plain black pair, Jenner’s loafers featured a chic gathered detail at the toe that gave her loafers a particularly expensive-looking edge. Though I do not doubt that Jenner’s shoes were a designer buy, I’ve seen plenty of high street equivalents that feature the same subtle pleated detail that makes them look well beyond their humble price tags.

Wearing her black leather loafers sans socks, Jenner took a minimal approach to her accessorising, styling her look with a black leather handbag and simple black sunglasses.
