We can only imagine that a lot of time and effort goes into planning whatever Kardashian wears, whether she herself is deciding on what to pull out of the closet, or if she has someone helping her. Now, Kim Kardashian is “having panic attacks” without Kanye West‘s fashion guidance.

How has Kardashian’s style been affected by West?

In her pre-Kanye days, Kardashian still looked nothing short of amazing. According to StyleCaster, she had a distinct style before she got together with her ex-husband, and years ago, she was known to really make an impact. Her wardrobe was full of bodycon dresses and platform stilettos, and her jewelry always packed a punch as well.

Fast forward to Kardashian’s relationship with West, and things changed significantly. US Weekly can report that West influenced the reality star’s style from the start, even giving her closet a makeover in an episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians.

Suddenly, it was all about “more subdued, timeless styles”, a sharp contrast from the bold, trendy clothes that she used to wear. Says Kardashian, “Back in the day, I thought I had the best style. I look back at outfits and I’m, like, mortified.”

Is Kardashian having ‘panic attacks’ without West’s fashion guidance?

Now that they are no longer together, Kardashian has to get used to the fact that the fashion-conscious West won’t be around to give his input. So, is she really having panic attacks without his help? According to Page Six, she is.

The rapper was actually responsible for many of his former wife’s looks such as the vintage Alexander McQueen dress she wore in 2020, and now, she is left figuring out things for herself. Says the SKIMS founder, “I got to a point where I would just ask him for advice for everything, down to what I wear. Even now I’m having like panic attacks, like, ‘What do I wear?”

West really knew what he was doing when it came to his fashion advice. Not only was he a stylist for Kardashian, but he has also given fashion advice to other exes, such as Julia Fox, Selita Ebanks, and even Amber Rose.
