Kendall Jenner Wore a 2026 Denim Trend and Color With Flats

If your goal this spring is looking as cool and crisp as possible while wearing flat shoes, I’m right there with you, and so, it seems, is Kendall Jenner. Jenner, who was spotted this week at Sushi Park in Los Angeles, where it’s kind of always spring, wore a transitional outfit I highly advise mentally bookmarking as we approach spring.

For starters, Jenner wore a fur-trimmed jacket as a top. The bottom half of her outfit dressed the jacket down a bit but certainly wasn’t lacking in elegance. On her feet were a pair of simple black ballet flats (The Row, of course), and with them, Jenner wore the denim trend that’ll help you achieve the chicest and most polished look possible: dark-wash high-waisted straight-leg jeans. They’re classic and quite elevated and are perfectly appropriate for day or night.

Jenner’s specific jeans are the Khaite Danielle style (an eternal celebrity favorite), and even with flat shoes, I don’t think anyone would disagree that she looked extremely chic.
