Reality star, mom, mogul, influencer: Kourtney Kardashian’s personal style has to tick a lot of boxes. Thanks to her innate sense of what’s cool, plus a long-time partnership with superstylist Dani Michelle, the TV personality has built an archive of outfits that inspire an entire generation (not to mention her 220 million Instagram fans!)
With her tiny stature but larger-than-life personality, Kardashian has nailed the types of pieces that compliment and flatter her no matter what’s on the agenda in her highly-photographed daily schedule. From sizzling date night looks to airport dashes and matcha errands, you’ll see her reach for her favorites—including leather, leggings, vintage graphic t-shirts, and luxury handbags—time and time again.
Having been in the spotlight for two decades, there was no shortage of archive shots to choose from—here’s a walk through some of the greatest hits from Kardashian’s style files.

An easy, breezy go-to Kardashian look as of late is styling an oversized jacket as a dress, teamed with chunky platform boots to up the ante. It's a look that works double duty with coverage and just the right amount of a reveal.

Kardashian’s style took a more daring turn when she began her relationship with now-husband Travis Barker, and the internet lives to see their all-black date night looks, like this strapless top and flared trouser ensemble complete with fuzzy clutch handbag to keep things interesting.

The humble trench coat is an MVP of Kardashian's rotation, whether she dresses it up with leather layers or tones it down for daytime.

When she’s not in her favorite all-black, Kardashian often leans towards wearing one flattering tone from tip-to-toe, such as this serene pistachio outfit with a peekaboo sheer top underneath.
Youthful Glow

Kardashian might be more than 20 years older than her friend Addison Rae, but the two look totally in sync in coordinated mini-length dresses, ' 90s-style sunglasses, and chunky boots while enjoying a Soho stroll—not to mention their matching matcha lattes.

A maroon look head-to-toe is no easy thing to pull off, but Kardashian makes it look like a doddle—particularly with the use of an oversized belt to accentuate her figure.
Killer Leather

Stepping out for a TV appearance, Kardashian opted for some of her favorite pieces: a calf-length slim-fitting midi skirt, duster coat, knit top, and t-strap stilettos. Chances are, they’re hiding in your own closet waiting for you to recreate this outfit—Keeping up with the Kardashians, are we right?!

Cost Per Wear

The thing about Kardashian is once she gets her hands on an accessory—she’s not afraid to wear it. Case in point: the Celine Luggage Tote, which barely left her arms in 2012. She’s paired it here with a bohemian white lace blouse, skinny black pants, a double-row headband and tousled bun, and Cartier accessories.
