Kim Kardashian stepped out last night in Los Angeles wearing a zip-up bodysuit with a pair of Balenciaga track pants and a hulking furry bag—heatwave be damned. But the magic here was in the footwear. Kardashian ditched sneakers—the go-to pairing with track pants—in favour of a pair of pointy-toe heels which elevated the whole look.Accessorising is a stellar way to dress up casual trousers and bring them out of the sporty zone. But the combo has been around quite some time. Balenciaga championed the look back in pre-fall 2021, when they dressed a model in a tracksuit and a pair of square-toe heels. Rihanna has also added elegance to her sweats by wearing strappy or severe pointy-toed stilettos.Of course, the success of the look—on Rihanna, Kardashian, and the Balenciaga model—comes down to balancing all the elements. High-low styling done right has created some iconic moments in fashion history. Think: Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele styling model Michaela Bercu in a Christian Lacroix gem-encrusted top with a pair of jeans on the Vogue November 1988 cover, an indelible look that changed the tone of fashion magazines. As for the track pants and heel combo? It’s just a slice of this styling genius.
