Kendall Jenner’s Tip for Looking Elegant? Lose the Jeans, Wear This Chic (and Comfier) Trouser Instead

As a fashion writer, I start most days scanning the latest celebrity outfits, picking out the trends, brands and It-items that might trickle down into everyday style. It means I stay pretty up to date with the silhouettes celebrities are favouring, and over time, I’ve come to rely on a handful of them for consistent outfit inspiration. One I always come back to? Kendall Jenner.

Her style is sleek and simple, with just enough of a nod to the new-season to keep things interesting. There’s an effortlessness to the way she dresses that makes her outfits feel relevant long after they first appear, and recently, as we near the end of summer, I’ve found myself looking to her looks for fresh styling ideas. This morning, I landed on something that felt especially noteworthy.

Kendall Jenner walks outside sushi park wearing a black top with a black jumper knotted around her shoulders and cream satin trousers.

Spotted in L.A., Jenner stepped out wearing what might be the best alternative to jeans I’ve seen this season: a pair of cream satin trousers. Polished but comfortable, they have a natural swish and sheen that instantly make any outfit feel more considered. Case in point: Jenner’s off-duty look, which consisted of a fitted black top and a black knit slung over her shoulders—simple pieces elevated completely by the glossy trousers.

In a soft cream shade, they added a light, fresh feel that black satin trousers—or jeans—just wouldn’t achieve, all while keeping her signature laid-back energy intact.

If, like me, you’re feeling inspired to invest in trousers that make a basic outfit feel ten times chicer, keep scrolling. I’ve rounded up the best cream satin trousers to shop now.
