Jenni Kayne: California-Inspired Design for the Wardrobe and Home
Life’s complicated—getting dressed shouldn’t be.
This page reads the brand as a uniform, one rule at a time, from the first sweater to the last chair.
Start with rule oneRule one of the uniform
Rule #1: Focus on Neutrals
When it comes to finding your fall (and forever) uniform, one element is key: keep neutrals at the forefront. From ivory and heather grey to navy and black, neutral shades are your secret to success when building a capsule wardrobe that will work from season to season. Shoes, tees, dresses, or sweaters—whichever item it is, be sure to aim for wardrobe essentials that are in all-season colors to give your closet versatility, depth, and a seamless edge of polish.

Danilo’s note. The palette is the first decision Jenni Kayne makes for you, and it is why the rest of this page can stay quiet: ivory, oatmeal, charcoal, one laurel green.
Rule two of the uniform
Rule #2: Bring in the Basics
A crucial tenet in uniform dressing is relying on wardrobe basics. Focus on the staple pieces that build any outfit: multi-purpose knits, classic, high-waisted jeans, crisp t-shirts, flattering dresses, everyday hoops, and a comfortable assortment of Mules, sneakers, and boots. While it may be tempting to go for trendy pieces, high-quality basics will ground your closet in a timelessness that will transcend any style moment.

One of our favorite style solutions comes in the form of all-purpose essentials. Think winter whites that work well past spring, footwear suited for any occasion, and accessories designed with refined versatility. Perfect from daytime duties to date night, this outfit checks every single box with ease.
Another must-try ensemble for days when you’re lacking inspiration is as easygoing and essential as they come: a cropped knit, white denim, and shearling-lined shoes. Both comfortable and elevated, this outfit combines all-season staples for a look that’s entirely timeless.
When we’re not sure what to wear, we follow this essential rule: layer. Pair a classic white tee and an oversized sweater (we’re partial to the Cocoon) with cropped denim for a layered look that’s perfect for any situation. Switch things up with Suede Moc Clogs in a seasonal shade like laurel and you’ll forget about your style rut in no time.
Danilo’s note. Six small pieces, one palette. Basics are where a store like this earns its repeat visits, so the page lines them up like a drawer, not like a sale rack.
Rule three of the uniform
Rule #3: Aim For Comfort & Versatility
Last, but certainly not least, comes the rule of comfort and versatility. As the guiding force of any fall uniform, opting for simple silhouettes and effortless pieces that make you look and feel your best is key. If something isn’t fitting correctly or the thought of spending an entire afternoon in a certain piece fills you with dread, then it most certainly doesn’t belong in your closet. Focusing on what you love is what matters most—your clothes don’t define who you are, you do.

About Our Story & PhilosophyOne piece, four seasons
Meet Your Mule
Everyone has that pair of shoes they can count on for any occasion. For us (and you), it’s Mules. 4 Ways to Wear Our Most Iconic Shoe Through Every Season
Handmade in Italy
Handmade in Italy from everything from shearling to suede, the Jenni Kayne Mule is our secret to classic comfort and endless outfit possibilities. Whether you’re refreshing your wardrobe for the season ahead or want a few new tips on how to wear your favorite pair, these four seasonally-inspired looks are the style guidance everyone needs.
Cheetah Pony Hair Mule
For our first take on Mules style, we look ahead to fall for a look that’s as classic as they come. Worn with a timeless button-up and a relaxed pair of jeans, our Cheetah Pony Hair Mule adds a flair of fun without feeling any ounce of overbearing. Play around with your outfit equation by mixing in neutral dresses, skirts, and knits, letting cheetah print have its rightful moment.
Shearling Mule, Natural, $395
We love pairing shearling with just about anything, especially in the colder months when the luxe touch of comfort is everything we need. Our Shearling Mule gives any look a stylish textural moment, making it the perfect pair for all your cozy basics. There’s an elevated quality that this pair brings to any ensemble, whether it’s a dress or jeans.
Oiled Leather Mule, Natural, $395
This spring-inspired look combines two of our favorite style basics: monochrome and Mules. The Oiled Leather Mule in natural is the ideal addition to any outfit that’s grounded in muted tones, as its brighter sensibility brings a sense of effortlessness to every single step. The oiled leather iteration is both clean and classic, making it the ideal pair for dressed-up moments.
Suede Mule, Laurel, $395
The Mule is our all-season footwear staple for one simple reason: it has the ability to take an otherwise simple outfit and transform it into something perfectly put-together. This summer look goes from casual to refined thanks to the addition of our Suede Mule in laurel. With the comfort and ease of a sandal yet the style and sophistication of a footwear icon, the Mule makes its mark.

The Brentwood family
Inspired by one of Jenni’s favorite vintage chairs, the Brentwood Chair is an interiors essential you’ll treasure forever. Upholstered in 100% Icelandic sheep shearling, which boasts a soft, plush texture. Natural variations in color and texture add depth and character to each piece.

The multi-purpose Brentwood Ottoman is perfect when paired with the Brentwood Chair or styled alone as a functional accent piece that ties any room together.
Danilo’s note. Same neutrals, same one-piece-at-a-time logic: a chair here is a basic, not a statement.

Rip & Tan interviews
In their words
“I like to feel chic and confident. I like simple pieces that stand the test of time. You can never have too many black jackets, white shirts, or pairs of jeans of course!”
“It’s all about incredible product. You can have the best marketing and all the followers in the world but if you have bad product that only leads to big issues. When you boil down Good American and what customers love, it’s all about the fact that we have perfected a fit and use unbelievable fabrications in every garment we make and so the clothes speak for themselves.”
“Living well means paying attention to what makes me happy, what gives me a sense of comfort, and making these things a priority.”
“Our mission is to be the best resource for people who see food as the center of a well-lived life. So we want to be covering all the topics that food touches, and home makes so much sense as a next step.”
Eefje Theeuws on the principles she lives by when nesting into a home. In essence, I strive to:
- connect to and honor the energy of the land and the ecosystem my home sits in
- celebrate and invite the outside in, creating indoor-outdoor experiences and a sense of openness, comfort and flow
- live as naturally, simply and elegantly as possible
The uniform, set for guests
Find Your Entertaining Uniform
We believe strongly in the concept of the uniform for streamlining, simplifying, and stylizing your life—and applying the strategy to our cabinets along with our closets. Just as much as the food, drinks, and the guest list do, a well-appointed table impacts the ambiance and tone of your get-together. Having a reliable supply of entertaining essentials makes it easy to host on the fly and mix and match place settings both formal and casual. In the spirit of our new entertaining-centered book, Pacific Natural, we’re sharing our guidelines for building your own entertaining uniform (read: everything you need to entertain in every way you want). First, take stock of what you already have—serving pieces, plates, silverware, etc.—then refer to this checklist to fill the gaps with what you need.
The formal table
A more formal table will use the greatest quantity of your entertaining uniform essentials. Ceramics to match the number of courses you serve, a full set of cutlery, and both tablecloths and napkins will likely be used, and you’ll be thankful you have those extra candlesticks to round out the table.
When wanting to make a bigger impact, you can focus more heavily on the florals, adding touches of found greenery elements like grasses and ferns. These arrangements of sweet pea, Queen Anne’s lace, lilac, poppy pods, California grasses, spirea and fern achieve a naturally lush, beautiful look amongst the otherwise-austere candles and stacked plates.
The mid-level table
This mid-level table can lean more casual or more formal depending on the type of get-together you host. Simple accents like a runner or tablecloth and a napkin ring will add that special touch that takes it one step past your everyday dinner table and make even the simplest of neutral tabletop items look inspired.
Try a loose DIY garland for an even more elevated feel. Even small bundles of greenery and florals can make a big impact by simply being “arranged” on the table itself. Eucalyptus, sweet pea, spirea, and eucalyptus seeds make for a thoughtful, considered, yet relaxed feeling.
The casual table
The most casual table is often the easiest to use your favorite novelty napkins, here simply tied in a knot to add some texture, and go linen-free on the table for the most relaxed feel. Intermittent blooms in your trusty bud vases are all you need to make this table special.
Try doing a mix of bud vases with a few having multiple types of flowers and others with single varieties. This encourages a laid-back, freewheeling ambiance. These florals were arranged with daffodil, sweet pea, and muscari blooms.
Coaster Set of 4
Anastasio Home is a producer of limited-run home accessories and upcycled luxury goods. This limited production, circular coaster is cut from a single piece of solid marble and hand-finished by a growing artisan atelier in Rajasthan, India. As this is a natural stone object, unique color and pattern variations should be expected and embraced.

Your uniform first, the rest follows
We strive to make getting dressed the easiest part of every woman’s routine. That’s why we consider ourselves the leading experts in navigating the unwelcomed feeling of wardrobe indecision—or what we like to call a style rut.
When it comes to seasonal style that’s equally timeless and effortless, everyday simplicity is the name of the game. Relaxed and polished, this pared-down look does everything a great outfit should do—make you look and feel your best. Style tip: just add your favorite pair of sunglasses and you’ll be ready for anything.
We sat down with Jenni to talk about the collection of everyday essentials that defines us best. Explore three timeless sweater-and-denim pairings from Jenni Kayne that make transitional dressing effortless from late summer through fall.
