Kim Kardashian West isn’t one to play by the fashion rules. If a dress code calls for all white, she’ll likely show up in bold neon colors; if it’s a casual day affair, she’ll wear a glitzy evening dress instead. It’s just her style M.O.—so why would her approach to summer dressing be any less individualistic? Today, the reality star and business mogul hit the streets in Calabasas, California wearing the most unlikeliest pant of the season—and totally pulled it off in her own way.
Forgoing breezy linen pants or a mini skirt, Kardashian West defied hot weather with a pair of baggy leather trousers, complete with a drawstring waist. They’re an unexpected piece, but somehow worked well with her approach to styling: she offset its voluminous shape with stiletto sandals and a more form-fitting turtleneck top with short sleeves, which had a touch of tie-dye near the neckline. In her hand, she also carried a mini croc bag by Hermès. So, while a heavy leather pant may seem more of a fall-winter staple, leave it to the creative Kardashian West to take a risk and make it work in the dead of summer. Season be damned.
