Kendall Jenner Gives Basic Evening the Cold Shoulder: Why Head-to-Toe Knits Are the Sleek Choice for Winter

This fall saw the resurgence of knit dressing—Céline and Marc Jacobs both presented head-to-toe options—that emphasized that warmth doesn’t have to mean bulk. Enter Kendall Jenner, whose sleek Donna Karan top and skirt are ideally suited for her bicoastal lifestyle. Although the model was in L.A. when she donned this stunner last night, the hint of skin at the shoulder—a Karan signature—lends its wearer a sense of refined sex appeal. The cashmere ensemble balances simplicity and elegance in a neat package, perfectly timed for the incumbent holiday party season. Colder temperatures will require a cozy fur (chubby, jacket, or stole) while those in warmer climes should look to Jenner and keep things muted for a study in the power of neutrals.
