Everyone needs these versatile pieces.
Karlie Kloss is on the move. With her recent plan to revive Life Magazine and an ever-blooming modeling career, she’s a savvy business woman. The former Victoria’s Secret model doesn’t let her fashion rest either, delivering chic, sophisticated ensembles like clockwork.
Yesterday, Kloss opted for a modern uniform combining some of the most versatile pieces: a button-up shirt, jeans, and loafers. Together, the three pieces make for a foolproof outfit formula, proving you don’t need bold separates to make a statement. TL;DR? She channeled quiet luxury — and immaculately so.

Kloss’ refined attire is thanks in part to her flattering jeans, which boast a high waist, straight-leg fit, and ankle-grazing hemline. The silhouette elongates the frame, while delivering the same support a good pair of jeans can offer. The black color sets the bottoms apart from traditional styles, especially during the spring when white takes center stage. Not only does the midnight color differentiate the pants from its counterparts, but it contrasts against seasonal hues flawlessly.
You can’t peep Kloss’ pants without glancing at her elegant loafers. While frequently a fall staple, loafers have been turning up all around with Taylor Swift and Katie Holmes strutting around the city in the coveted footwear. I’m especially enamored with the slim design as opposed to the chunkier versions I often see, bringing a delicate, almost ballet-like touch to the ‘fit. Perhaps most enticing, though, is the comfort loafers offer, making the style a great choice for ambling around town, trekking to the office, and everything in between.
Exude sophistication by recreating Kloss’ chic style with the below straight-leg jeans and black loafers. If you’re feeling extra adventurous, shop a similar camel-toned tote bag and black oval sunglasses to top it all off.
