There’s an unwritten rule among fashion people when it comes to 2026’s capri-pants trend: a wearer must pair the silhouette with heels, even if it’s just a short kitten heel, to get the look right. I live by it, as do my coworkers at Who What Wear, but recently, an alternative surfaced that has me completely rethinking my aversion to wearing capri pants with flats. Naturally, Kendall Jenner‘s the responsible wearer, having debuted a casual, daytime L.A. outfit so chic I couldn’t possibly keep quiet about it, even if it did go against my hard-and-fast no-flats rule for the popular pant style.
This week, Jenner, who has since traveled to New York City for the Met Gala, posted a slideshow on Instagram featuring photos of her posing next to one of her many vintage cars—this time, a Ferrari 512 TR in silver—wearing a layered white T-shirt with capri leggings from Adanola and black Eva flats from The Row. The outfit was very ’90s, which paired well with her car choice, given the years it was manufactured—it was only available between 1991 and 1996—and gave off a clean, cool vibe that made me instantly want to recreate it. Normally, I’d try everything but the flats she wore, replacing them with a thong sandal or mule with a 2″ heel, but something about Jenner’s photos made me pause and consider her version instead.
