If you’ve come across any of Karlie Kloss’ outfits in recent years, you’ve probably noticed that she’s the epitome of elegance. Even when wearing something as casual as jeans and a T-shirt, she looks polished, cool, and trend-forward all at once. A casual outfit she was spotted wearing last week in NYC is the perfect example of this.

What first caught my eye about this particular outfit worn by Kloss is that it included the denim trend every fashion person the world over is wearing this summer: white jeans. Kloss opted for a straight-leg pair, and instead of completing her look with sneakers, she went with white ballet flats. The monochromatic look gave her outfit plenty of polished elegance, and expertly complemented her checked blue button-down and blue tee. Put simply, it’s the perfect summer jeans outfit. Scroll on to see it in all its glory for yourself, and shop the simple pieces needed to recreate it—white jeans and ballet flats included.
