Kim Kardashian West’s Summer Date Night Look? Tactical Pants and Heels
Perhaps all the recent headlines about tactical pants resonated with Kim Kardashian West yesterday evening in Malibu. Joined by husband Kanye West, the wife of Yeezy debuted a new look that featured the combat trouser and a soothing, desert-inspired palette.
Kardashian West has teased out countless Yeezy pieces this year, everywhere from Harajuku to Beverly Hills, but yesterday evening’s ensemble struck a different note. The mock neck top in a faded ice blue hue created a summery effect. Crisp, high-waisted tobacco pants were an elegant complement and felt like an elevated twist on traditional cargos.
Utilitarian influences—oversize zip pockets and elasticized ankles—seemed like a nod to Virgil Abloh’s debut effort at Louis Vuitton (already worn by Kardashian West) and a neat way to highlight her tonally coordinated boots. The pant’s parachute silhouette was a directional touch that dressed up the khaki.
Gold pendant jewelry added sophisticated shine and amplified her post-holiday glow. Combined, the ensemble referenced the setting of Wyoming with the polish of California—midsummer ease by the wife of Yeezy.
