Long before the era of minimalist “quiet luxury,” Kylie Jenner established her fashion identity through a moody, high-low aesthetic that remains a blueprint for urban street style.

On January 31, 2014, in Los Angeles, Jenner provided a masterclass in transitional dressing, balancing feminine silhouettes with rugged, designer hardware.

However, the true focal point was her footwear: a pair of Chanel leather Chelsea boots. These boots, characterized by their pull-on design and masculine silhouette, anchored the airy texture of her wrap skirt, proving that a solid investment boot is the ultimate wardrobe stabilizer.

Whether you’re looking to replicate this timeless, edgy aesthetic or seeking a versatile designer alternative, this look remains a primary reference for “city chic” styling.
