Supermodel style: Karlie Kloss talks fashion, accessories and more!

The festive season is on its way, and who better to ask about holiday dressing and accessorising than supermodel Karlie Kloss? Here the star of Swarovski’s sparkly new holiday campaign shares her top fashion tips.

Who’s your style icon?

I have always looked to Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn for inspiration. Their styles were effortlessly chic and timeless — two characteristics I strive to incorporate into my personal style. 

Crystal watch

Stud earrings, a watch and band rings make great foundation pieces that you can wear everyday and layer with other looks. And of course, anything that holds sentimental value goes a long way. For me, those are the matching bracelets my dad would give my sisters and me every year around the holidays, and the gold ring my mom gave me from her collection growing up. 

Silver choker

Chokers are really elegant and flattering, especially for holiday parties. 

What’s your go-to everyday look?

I like to keep my everyday style simple and wear clothes that are comfortable, chic and versatile. High-waisted jeans, a tucked-in tee and a fitted blazer or a dress paired with Stan Smith sneakers are a couple of my go-to off-duty looks. 

And evening look?

When I’m going out with friends, I love mixing high fashion and casual pieces. One of my favourites this year was an outfit I wore for my birthday. With the help of my stylist Karla Welch, I paired a simple white tee with a long purple leather skirt and Giuseppe Zanotti heels. It was a fun, bold style that captured my personality.

Black earrings

To me, glamour is about defining and then elevating your individual style. Personally, I define that as wearing something slightly daring, such as a bold accessory, piece of jewellery or article of clothing. Confidence is key, so love and feel comfortable in whatever it is you’re wearing.
