One-Piece Bathing Suits

There was rarely a day this summer that Kourtney wasn't seen in a bathing suit on the beach. And 99 percent of the time said bathing suit was a one-piece. (Did you check out Target's bathing suit section this year? All one pieces.)

Sometimes it's hard to tell if the Kardashians are wearing lingerie or actual clothing. But then you go into a nearby store and realize, "Oh, it's clothing." Yet another trend they started.

Fur Slides

When we first saw Kim in these Givenchy fur slides, we were all, "Whaaat?" But the more we started seeing them around, we were kind of like, "Wait. Do we need a pair ourselves?"
