You know how there’s that old rule about when to wear white (something about Labor Day)? Well, now there’s a new rule—per this incredibly chic look on Kendall Jenner. We are wearing white immediately. Specifically, we should all be wearing white pants with classic outerwear for spring.
Jenner was photographed at fashion week in Milan, Italy, on February 24 wearing wide-legged white trousers which she paired with black flats. Ironically, considering the white-after-Labor-day thing, the whole outfit is truly timeless.
Jenner added a classic Burberry trench coat to this ensemble—the Camden car coat to be exact, worn fully buttoned, and layered a navy blue pullover over her shoulders. She wore her dark hair down and accessorized simply with narrow oval sunglasses. It may seem a bit counter-intuitive to wear one’s sweater on the outside of the jacket, but this very slightly off-beat styling choice has been a fashion-girly secret for a while now. Take a look at the sweaters-over-coats from fashion week back in 2024.
2025 was a big moment for the white jeans movement and we began seeing white trousers everywhere. Clearly that moment hasn’t come to a conclusion just yet. Bella Hadid, Jenner’s fellow supermodel, was spotted rocking a pair of crisp, cream-colored slacks in Aspen as recently as January. Like Hadid’s, Kendall Jenner’s white-pants ensemble reflects a certain ’90s minimalism. This is probably no accident, as everyone’s current favorite style inspiration is Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy—who still defines that particular aesthetic.
One could never accuse Jenner of sleeping on a trend, but a Bessette-esque style sensibility that favors sleek, elevated basics has long been a go-to look for the model.
The moral of the story is that fashion rules may become outdated and obsolete, but true style never does.
