Always true to her wardrobe staples, Kendall Jenner doesn't necessarily believe in following classic style rules. Her latest outfit in Los Angeles tests a certain color theory, mixing her neutral colors with classic jeans and flip flops.

On a shopping trip to her friend Joseph Perez and David Levy's Cherry store in West Hollywood, Jenner was photographed early Thursday morning (July 18) wearing a black short-sleeved baby T-shirt with straight-leg jeans. She held the waist of her pants with a black leather belt.

The supermodel used the accessory to prove that, contrary to fashion common belief, neutral colors go well with any color scheme. She also confirmed her stance on the open-toed shoe controversy, along with Jennifer Lopez and Emily Rutakowski.

She styled her shoes with coordinating black mini sunglasses and a large brown leather tote bag slung over her shoulder. If there was any doubt that brown and black could work in the same look, Jenner quashed it.

Kendall Jenner's personal style often centers on minimal yet ultra-chic basics. During the spring and summer months, she regularly wears maxi-length dresses, loose-fitting pants, and simple tops. (She also pulls head-to-toe looks straight from The Row runway.) With a never-ending number of street-style “fits” under her belt, Jenner has had plenty of time to experiment with unlikely (and sometimes controversial) color schemes. (Celebrities have been dabbling in unexpected palettes this summer. Earlier this week, Kaia Gerber demonstrated how to wear black and navy together - another pairing that is usually kept apart - by colorblocking her black basics around satin navy pants.

Jenner's clever color combinations are not limited to neutral colors. This March, the 28-year-old used the color wheel for outfit inspiration, styling an oversized navy suit with a loud pop of orange from a Bottega Veneta handbag.
