Kendall Jenner’s Jeans and Flats Combo is September’s Must-Have Look

As I pen this, I’m on the brink of my summer holiday. You’d assume my mind would be filled with thoughts of poolside lounging, sipping cocktails with little umbrellas, and wearing nothing but airy linens. Yet, thanks to Kendall Jenner and her latest outfit at the 2024 Olympics in Paris, all I can think about is autumn. Specifically, what to wear when autumn rolls around.

Jenner was seen in Paris sporting an ensemble that clearly declared her support for Team USA. With a USA-emblazoned sweatshirt and a matching baseball cap, she was hard to miss in the bustling cityscape. However, it wasn’t her statement top that caught my eye; it was her lower-half outfit.

While Jenner undoubtedly shines in glamorous outfits, it’s her casual wear that truly stands out for me. Case in point: this time, she opted for straight-leg jeans and black leather loafers. At first glance, it might seem like an ordinary jeans look, but spend another moment observing, and you’ll see just how exceptional her jeans are.

Though I’m awaiting confirmation from my sources, I’d bet these jeans are Jenner’s favorite from Khaite—the Danielle jeans. These straight-leg jeans almost graze her legs without clinging, offering a roominess that beautifully accentuates their straight-cut silhouette. The authentic, vintage-looking blue color and a high, cinched waistline make it easy to see why Jenner frequently opts for this pair.

Another observation: Jenner seems particularly fond of pairing jeans with black loafers. In this instance, she picked a very minimal pair, likely to keep the focus on her eye-catching sweatshirt. Yet, I’ve seen her match straight-leg jeans with different loafers on several occasions, making it almost a signature look for her. While I’ve got a few days of beachwear ahead, I know soon enough I’ll be channeling Jenner’s foolproof autumn combination.

For those who admire her knack for solid basics as much as I do, here’s a quick guide to shopping for straight-leg jeans and black loafers, Kendall Jenner style.
