Kim Kardashian adds a touch of luxury with fur coat, hat, and handbag
Have you ever seen Kim Kardashian in stealth wealthy clothes? You've probably never asked to borrow her sister Kendall's Khaite jeans or items from The Row; the founder of SKIMS favors a bold, no-nonsense maximalism, sometimes so over-the-top that it feels satirical. She casually walks around New York City with a huge Birkin and brings a Balenciaga clutch bag shaped like a pinwheel to Lakers games. And most recently, she's been decked out in fur-on-fur: Kardashian wore a fur coat, a fur hat, and a fur handbag, the antithesis of quiet luxury.
Like many celebrities during the winter months, Kim gathered in a cozy cabin for a snowy seasonal getaway. In an Instagram post, Kardashian shared a slideshow of photos from the trip, including a fur-on-fur look and a photo of her in all Balenciaga snowwear, from puffers to snow pants and boots. Both outfits perfectly embody Kim's style of bold statement and loud and proud luxury.
Let's break down her fur look. From top to bottom, Kim's outfit begins with a tan trapper hat that matches her longline fur coat and fuzzy clutch bag. As you can see, she wears a lot of fur. The combination of fur and fur makes Kardashian's outfit interesting, but the rest of the look is everyone's casual cliché. Underneath the fur coat, she wore a thin white tank top, baggy light-wash jeans, and streetwear-style high-top sneakers. Her hair was tucked under a fur hat, and for makeup, she stuck to her usual nude lips and bronzed eyes.
Is her furry look there? Sure it is, but having a one-of-a-kind style is what makes an "it" girl an "it" girl. And while Kim's outfits lean toward bold textures and designer brands, they are still uniquely her own. After all, if you saw a Kardashian suddenly wearing The Row or a bun in the back, you'd feel it wasn't authentic. It's certainly a conversation starter.
We can't be sure if Kim's loud, luxurious look is on the cutting edge of a new cutting-edge trend, but perhaps it hints at something in fashion we can't ignore. Driven by minimalism and quiet luxury, celebrity style is sophisticated and easy to replicate. There is no denying that a fine pair of jeans and a T-shirt will not work anywhere. But, like Kim's furry ensemble, it reminds us that fashion can still be fun, and here's to more outrageous Kim Kardashian looks in 2024.
