You love her, you hate her, maybe you love to hate her. But no matter what your personal opinion is on the celebrity enigma that is Kim Kardashian-West, one thing is undeniable: the girl has style.
Whether it is in the form of a chainmail skirt (worn with a black body suit at this year’s GQ Awards), or the wedding dress that owned the media, West is making waves in the fashion world for her high-end ensembles and—thanks to fashionably conscious husband Kanye West—has turned into the world’s newest (and unlikeliest) fashion icon. Anchored by West, Kardashian has been seen in a bandage dress, customized Birkin bags, oversized Celine coats, and a close, personal relationship with famed designer Riccardo Tisci, of the mega-fashion House of Givenchy.
Observing Mrs. West’s style in action, some patterns may emerge. Basic pieces in classic shades (like camel coats, well-made blue jeans, and white button-downs) are the foundation of almost every Kim K getup. Throw on a chic pair of sunglasses (Kim is always hiding her emotions under those enormous shades), and maybe a leather jacket—or a pair of nude heels—to finish off this West-family-approved fashion masterpiece.
Kim is also unafraid of experimenting with menswear-inspired looks (her and Kanye often look like they are wearing the same thing)—rocking tuxedo jackets and pantsuits just as she would her more revealing getups.
So ladies, come take a tip or two from the (style)Book of Yeezus and family, and bring some divinity to your own style.
