When the no-pants trend appeared on the runway in September, I knew right away that it would be controversial, and therefore, a huge hit in fashion. Moreover, when brands like Victoria Beckham, Bottega Veneta, and Khaite are the ones responsible, you know a trend has legs—pun intended. And with none other than Kendall Jenner having just debuted the buzzed-about look that started it all, it appears my predictions were spot on.
Seen in LA between shoots for the luxury retailer FWRD where she’s creative director, Jenner wore a chunky, navy-blue sweater with black briefs and heels—no pants in sight. The bottomless ensemble came practically straight off Matthieu Blazy’s Bottega Veneta runway from S/S 23, besides the heels which are Saint Laurent, her tights, which came from Calzedonia, and her giant bouquet of sunflowers, which presumably came from the farmers market.
Though entirely impractical for a busy day of errands and shoots, Jenner managed to make wearing underwear with nothing but tights work. More than that, she made me and everyone I know want to do the same (see my Instagram DMs after I shared this photo for proof). So, if you like me, are even more on board with the pantsless trend after seeing it off the runway, shop the look below.
