Leave it to Kendall Jenner to make even the most casual of clothing look ridiculously chic. In this case, the item is a summertime classic: cutoff denim shorts. And the way Jenner just styled them is kind of genius, so take notes.

Jenner went with a short pair of black denim cutoffs for a shopping trip in Malibu over the weekend, and the basics she styled them with are key here. In addition to a fitted white T-shirt, she wore a belt, sleek flat slide sandals, and a sweater draped over her shoulders as the pièce de résistance. 

You’re probably thinking it’s a bit hot for sweaters right now (even one you’re not really wearing), but as we start transitioning into fall, wearing a sweater with denim shorts will make a lot of sense. And if you’re like me, having a sweater on hand, even on hot days, will help you combat the frigid A/C once you’re inside.
