Stuck for self-isolation wardrobe inspo? Kylie Jenner is your girl
She’s the youngest self-made billionaire ever (she earned that crown aged only 21), owns a company worth over £750 million and is one of the most talked-about Kardashians in the clan. But while her business acumen and Instagram account rack up a whole lot of attention (unsurprisingly, since her army of followers stands at 168 million), it’s her outfit choices that have us girl crushing a million times over. We're talking about Kylie Jenner, of course.
As we approach day 6136198 of lockdown (turns out restaurants, bars and non-essential shops are pretty much our only hobbies), we’ve just about got used to a new sartorial stance. We said a fond farewell to our jeans, poplin shirts and blazers and replaced them with all the loungewear. Cashmere, sweatpants and more cashmere.
But even our most-loved pair of yoga leggings and softest sweatshirt can sometimes make us yawn. If you’re stuck in a self-isolation wardrobe rut, there’s no better place than the Instagram account of Kylie Jenner to head for inspiration.
She nails laid-back fashion, sometimes even opting for comfies to the club. Remember when she donned that pair of Alexander Wang logo elastic leggings on a night out in Los Angeles? Teamed with PU court shoes and a flattering white body, she looked just about ready to kick off her heels and roll into bed. And that’s the kind of look we’re into these days.
We decided to delve deep into the Kylie J archives and what greeted us was, predictably, a whole array of lockdown-appropriate get-ups which will take us from video call to sofa in one smooth move. Up there with our favourites? Her leather shirt and grey tracksuits combo. Business at the top, party down the bottom.
Although most of the pieces Kylie has worn are now out of stock (she seems to have that effect), we’ve recreated her looks with a selection of luxury and high street loungewear.
@kyliejenner / InstagramGranted, she's hopping on a plane which we absolutely can't do any time soon (boo) - but this loungewear look is one to salute. Leather remains a huge trend for the season, and we love how it smartens up Kylie's grey marl tracksuit bottoms. This look reminds us of the vibe we go for when we've got back-to-back Zoom meetings...
@kyliejenner / InstagramKylie is no stranger to a pair of cycling shorts. Paired with a black crop top and hoodie, this look will take you straight from home-office to at-home workout and remain comfortable every step of the way.
@kyliejenner / InstagramJoggers are, without a doubt, the most worn item in our wardrobes right now. But all that love has left them looking a little worse for wear. We'll be snapping up this pair as a replacement, alongside this chic puffa jacket for that all-important daily walk. Sun, where you go?!
@kyliejenner / InstagramArket is our go-to for good quality cashmere goods, so we'll see you there to snap up some cashmere loungewear reminiscent of Kylie's comfy pieces.
@kyliejenner / InstagramSporty chic, done right. With her side-stripe joggers and sporty tee, Kylie donned a pair of Adidas Falcon trainers - and the exact pair are down to £40 in the Office sale! Race you to the checkout.
@kyliejenner / InstagramIf you're in the market for a loungewear investment, you can't go far wrong with these logo waistband Alexander Wang leggings. Once lockdown is over, you can even dress them up for your first night out. (Counting down the days already).
@kyliejenner / InstagramAnyone else dress up to the nines on their weekly trip to the supermarket? It's the only chance we really get to leave the house, after all. This weekend, we'll be pairing vinyl trousers with this & Other Stories grey jumper. And a new pair of trainers cos, yanno - it's nice to treat yo'self.
@kyliejenner / InstagramKeep things simple while you work at home with a comfy, all-black tracksuit. Kylie is wearing a Balenciaga hoodie here, and although the same design is no longer in stock (unsurprisingly), we have found one which is pretty similar.
@kyliejenner / InstagramKylie is the queen of high-low dressing. That is, pairing designer pieces with high-street staples. We love how she's matched her basics with a Chanel handbag here. We found a pre-owned Chanel bag which almost exactly the same shade on Farfetch. But hurry, there's only one left!
