When Kendall and Kylie Jenner release a collection, we know about it.
As was such the case with Kendall + Kylie DropOne, DropTwo, DropThree and even their swimwear collection.
The social blitz, which ignites the second the girls post a promo,
makes the launches hard to miss. So when the famous duo's lingerie
collection, available at Topshop,
quietly emerged Wednesday—without fanfare or notice on either of the
young women's social accounts, we were left questioning the line's
integrity.
Do Kendall and Kylie even care about this line? Is it somehow subpar to the others?
Then
we looked at the collection, and any lingering doubts quickly
evaporated. We could even argue this latest release is the Jenner
sisters' best yet. Why? In a nutshell, it's just them.
"'Beautiful
lingerie shouldn't be completely hidden under clothes anymore,' say
Kendall and Kylie Jenner of their hotly anticipated lingerie collection.
Inspired by the sisters' iconic personal style, the pieces are designed
to make their own statement," describes Topshop on its website.
This
collection isn't great because of the retailer's affordable (in
comparison to designer) price points or that it is endorsed by the
Kardashian konglomerate. It's that most of the pieces in the 37-item
collection looks like something the sisters have worn in real life—not
in magazine spreads, at a promotional event or for a brand campaign—but
on the street, in Instagram posts, when their reality (albeit a tad
dramatic) relates and excites our own. That's the famous family's whole
allure, isn't it?
That's
not to say Kendall and Kylie's other collections didn't reflect their
personal styles—there have been several offerings we could see—and
saw—them wearing. But we cannot acknowledge the
undergarments-as-outerwear style movement without giving credit to two
of the trend's biggest proponents. How many times have we seen Kendall
in a lace bralette paired with a structured blazer or distressed
T-shirt? Or King Kylie in high-waisted bottoms and a sports bra on
Instagram? You can thank the entire Kardshian-Jenner clan for the
bodysuit craze of 2016.
This collection simply feels most like
them. There's nothing in it that they wouldn't wear. How do we know?

Sweet in Sweats
As sultry as she looks, Kylie is sittin' (and standing)
pretty in this kind-of comfy combo. Jersey is typically a casual fabric,
but when paired with lace-up-like details, it lends a sexier, night-out
feel.

Sheer Genius
We've seen Kendall wear a black, long-sleeve sheer shirt
over many of her bra or crop top combos. When baring a lot, a covering
like this adds a more sophisticated finish.

Bod Goals
Like the rest of her family, Kylie is a big fan of
bodysuits, as displayed on her 21st birthday. If you're opting for a
sheer iteration, pair it with sturdier fabrics like leather or denim.

Peekaboo
For a more subtle take on the bralette trend, expose just a peek of the neckline and leave everything else to the imagination.

Lace It Up
If you want to wear your lace pieces out and about, do
as Kendall and pair it over a simple white tee. It's at both times edgy
and feminine.

So why haven't the sisters been promoting the launch? Perhaps it's the pregnancy rumors. Perhaps they're still dealing with the flak from a previous collection, in which they used images of iconic artists, including Notorious B.I.G., Tupac and Pink Floyd, without permission.
Perhaps this lingerie line is so representative of their personal style, nothing else needs to be said.
