Kendall Jenner Adds an Avant-Sporty Touch to the Matching Set Trend

Kendall Jenner arrived at the Paris Olympics looking ready to join Team USA in a Ralph Lauren jacket . When she reversed course for the matching set trend the next day, she still managed to work in a sporty touch in the spirit of the Games.
At the equestrian final in team jumping on Friday, August 2, Kendall Jenner arrived in a vintage-inspired skirt set that would make Christian Dior proud. (However, the exact credits weren't available at press time.) She wore a plaid gray blazer with a dramatically cinched waist—similar to Dior's iconic Bar jacket— and paired it with a micro-mini skirt in the same fabric.
Accessories are where the model started to play with juxtaposition and a hint of Olympic-appropriate athletic style. Along with a pair of her trusty loafers by The Row and an as-yet-unidentified bag, Jenner topped her outfit with a Ralph Lauren baseball cap .

The team jumping final was a likely place for Jenner and stylist Dani Michelle to show off their high-contrast styling. Kendall Jenner is a lifelong horseback rider; in past interviews, she's joked that she would be a Team USA equestrian if she ever competed.
So far, Kendall Jenner's return to Paris for the Olympics has blended athletic trends with French girl-approved staples. The night before she put her spin on the matching set trend, Jenner went out to dinner in a strapless cream dress with a pair of slinky heels—plus an emerald bag by The Row to stash her essentials and fend off the waiting cameras.

Of all the early fall 2024 trends to try at the Olympics, the matching skirt set movement makes perfect sense. Contemporary designers like Ganni have referenced Dior's original skirt sets in their recent collections; Paris staples like Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and of course, Dior have kept the mini skirt suit going on their own runways. And when in Paris, stars including Sabrina Carpenter have worn mini plaid skirt suits .
