With her effortless sense of style both on and off the runway, she is in high demand around the modelling world and is always on the best dressed list.

When she’s on the red carpet, Kendall stuns us with her sartorial fashion choices; and when she is off it, the Jenner girl delights with her chic ensembles that are to die for!

From fast fashion to uber-luxury, let’s check out Kendall’s street style for tips on how to rock outfits like she does.

JEANS From skinny and boot cut variants to high waist skinny jeans, Kendall has rocked almost every denim type there is. With her effortless and sophistica­ted off-duty style, she transforms everyday outfits like jeans and a shirt into a stylish statement outfit.

If you want to pull off a statement outfit with a pair of jeans, the first step is to find a pair that flatters your body shape so that you feel confident and comfortabl­e.

Once you’ve found the perfect jeans for your body type, all you need to do is pair them with a matching shirt or a crop top and coat. If you’re styling high waist cropped jeans, you can play with proportion­s and layer the outfit, giving it an edgy yet casual look.

CROP TOPS These tops seem to be an essential and all-time favourite clothing item of Kendall’s. The good thing about crop tops is that there are many ways to style them. You can wear them with a blazer or jacket, fulllength flowing or pencil skirt, high waist trousers with wide legs or even skinny jeans. Jenner has mastered this trend and looks classy in crop tops by showing the right amount of skin. COLOUR Kendall Jenner takes the monochroma­tic outfit trend to a whole new level. She creates a complex look with layer upon layer of the same shade. A combinatio­n of different textures and silhouette­s is stacked together and this results in a chic monochroma­tic look from head to toe.

A perfect example of how she effortless­ly pulls off this look was seen in one particular ensemble that included a cream top, ivory skirt, cream coat and taupe sneakers. Pulling off this look is as easy as it seems, and it’s both chic and sophistica­ted.

If you decide to follow this trend, make sure to add depth and dimension to your look, by playing with textures and layers. Take a look at Kendall’s fashion tips that you can incorporat­e into your outfits to acquire that chic yet edgy off-duty model look.
