Whether you hate to love them or love to hate them, there’s no denying that Kanye West and Kim Kardashian are one of the most stylish celebrity couples of all time. Being mentioned in nearly every tabloid since their debut as a fashion power couple a few years ago, photos of ‘Kimye’ are constantly catching the public eye due to their insane style and unbelievable ability to set new trends. Unfortunately, for those of us who aren’t exactly capable of dropping thousands on a new pair of Tom Ford heels or the latest Balmain jacket, it can be difficult to emulate the duo’s style on a college student budget.
Here, this Fashionista is showcasing a look inspired by both Kim and Kanye with pieces that won’t break your bank. What makes this outfit an ultimate ‘Kimye’ look is that it combines items that mimic their edgy vibe, yet is casual enough to purchase on a budget. The coolest and most unexpected trend shown here is the pairing of Nike Roshe Run shoes with destructed denim, a combination I never saw coming into style until seeing these photos of Kim Kardashian casually rocking the look in Paris a few months ago. What makes this look work is the fact that the shoes and denim are the exact same color, making the combo subtle yet still ultra modern and a little chic. The camouflage oversized T-shirt looks as if it were pulled straight from Kanye West’s wardrobe and the slightly masculine vibe of the dark green print really complements the athletic feel of the Nike’s. To top off the look, a black snake print bag and cool green aviators pull everything together without taking away from the trends exhibited in the outfit.
