Kylie Jenner has made several compelling street-style cases for splurging on investment pieces from The Row. One day she wore a full low-key look. But it's her latest outing to hotspot Sushi Park that made me most likely to hand over my credit card, because she doubled-down on a luxury ballet flat. The models and business multi-hyphenates penciled in a second girls' night out in as many days on Jan. 7.
It looked like a cozy-casual gossip session over sake and sushi, as evidenced by Jenner's statement piece for the evening: a lipstick red, $5,900 cashmere robe by The Row. Bieber also chose some opulent outerwear for the night, bundling up in a barn jacket-trench coat hybrid—a garment constructed for the sole purpose of cuddling up and laying low. Jenner's, on the other hand, was styled with finely-crafted pieces that were meant to be seen. (And her shade of red is hard to miss.) Exiting the restaurant, she was photographed with a spacious hobo bag, also by The Row, and relaxed black trousers. Those two pieces also have price tags in the four-figure range and are no-doubt made with the time and care to deserve their value. Still, it's Jenner's ballet flats I'm most likely to shop. The 818 Tequila founder completed her casual outfit with The Row's $820 leather ballet flats. I didn't have to imagine how many other ways they could be styled, because Hailey Bieber provided a template just days earlier. Her version came with a dress, and Jenner paired her luxurious robe coat with The Row's $820 ballet flats, which Hailey Bieber had worn just day before. Hailey Bieber wore the same ballet flats just two days earlier, on her way from a Pilates session with Lori Harvey. A litany of designer investment pieces only really work for one setting: a red carpet, an exclusive party in the Hamptons, a night at Sushi Park. These ballet flats apparently fit more than one dress code—and considering that they're classic black, they can match much more than the designer pieces in Jenner's wardrob
