Welcome to The Blueprint, where we break down the celebrity looks we want to wear right now and build them back up, piece by piece.
I’ll always keep up with Kendall Jenner’s street style.
On December 5, the 29-year-old model was seen in a dressed down fall uniform that was, well, both in and out of my price range. She wore a pair of black leggings from Commando, which cost $108, while her comfy Ugg boots, a brand many celebrities wear, ring in at $150.
Her plushy wrap cardigan and leather tote both appear to be from The Row, the latter of which we spotted the logo for in other photos, and, at the very minimum, could go for over $1,000 when purchased together.
When you look at Jenner’s outfit with a zoomed-out lens, you’ll find that it’s actually very workable: Leggings, cardigans, and boots together are a recipe for a warm and comfortable ’fit. As for tote bags, they’re roomier than a crossbody, so you can carry more things with you all at once.
Celebrities are in their cardigan craze, (as am I) and I’m always on the hunt for flattering styles that are different from what I already have. A belted cardigan like this one will still be warm and cozy, with a little waist-flattering action added into the mix.
If I didn’t pick up Jenner’s exact Commando leggings, these would be next in line. They came out as the winner during our tests to find the best black leggings, and they’re less than one-fourth of the price. They also come in a dark green color that would coordinate with the sweater above.
I’ve been writing about Ugg boots for two years, and somehow I still don’t own any (besides the pairs I got in the early aughts) though I live in Arizona and felt like I wouldn’t get a ton of use out of them.
But once I learned that one of my team members who lives in Hawaii wears them all the time, I stopped ruling the boots out. I could use them as another pair of cozy house slippers; plus it does get chilly in the mornings and nights here. These are the boots Jenner had on and the same ones seen on Jennifer Garner.
Celebrities have also been tuning in on totes, and this Mango bag reminds me of Jenner’s style. It has a long strap for crossbody wear, if you so please, plus it has two shorter handles so it can be carried on your wrists or shoulders. It won’t ship until after Christmas though, but I think it’d be a cool way to upgrade your style going into the new year.
