Ever since United Airlines refused standby entry for two passengers in leggings, the athletic piece has gone through a street style renaissance. Yesterday in Los Angeles while filming scenes for the 10th anniversary edition of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Kendall Jenner did her part, swapping out skinny jeans for the sportswear staple. It’s a look that has gained legs on fashion-forward dressers, including Dakota Johnson and Jenner’s sister Kim Kardashian West. But where the Fifty Shades actress amped up the sporty feel and Mrs. West put an elevated twist on the style for night, Jenner masterfully balanced both worlds thanks to a clever pairing.
The model’s approach to taking the legging from the treadmill to the street lies in the cut. Like a pair of skinny jeans, Jenner’s wide-panel bottoms offer a figure-flattering finish. Amping up the athletic spirit was an Adidas crop top, cleverly worn to highlight her toned midriff. For an extra inch of polish, Jenner kept things classic and simple: retro metal-frame shades, a well-worn Louis Vuitton backpack, and furry slides.
