keeping up with the...


...kardashians. easily dismissible but not to be ignored, the kardashians have wormed their way into my heart. oh, i know, they are indeed ridiculous, and yet despite disgust early on, i have come to appreciate their openness, their antics, their sass - but this is about their style.

kim is my least favourite - she tends to reach for looks that can look a trifle trashy, or too over the top in a way that she cannot pull off due to her gorgeous face. she has come a long way though, if you compare early episodes of keeping up with more recent ones (oh, i've seen em all. thrice.) in terms of her makeup she's managed to keep the dark eye with the light lip, but move in a direction that's more sophistication and less early 90s dance music.

khloe has the simplest style of the bunch, keeping to plenty of shirt-pant-blazer combos which work well on her large frame (is she not 5'11"?!) since she's offering up such pizzazz with her loud-mouthed personality. not that she doesn't glam it up, for she certainly does, but overall clean lines work best.

kourtney outshines them all. this girl has natural style and is daring in the right way, unlike kim. she's not afraid to accessorize and doesn't look uncomfortable in turbans or tricky-to-pull-off looks. she's also undefinable, and her style runs the gamut from hippy chic to crisp b&w combos. she has a huge fondness for stripes, and surely inspired those other kardashians to hop on board (guaranteed there are stripes in every episode...even that kris is seen donning them.)

overall, while people often connect the trio of sisters with cheesy, overly coordinated looks, they have stepped away from simply acting like show-horses and have developed styles of their own. or have chosen better stylists.
