During an outing to LAVO Ristorante in Los Angeles in March 2022, Kendall Jenner paired a minimalist gray ribbed mini dress with sleek black knee-high boots, while Khloé Kardashian took a different approach in classic black Christian Louboutin pumps.
The sisters demonstrated two distinct ways to build an understated monochrome look around statement footwear.

Kendall’s sleeveless ribbed mini dress, with its square neckline and clean ribbed knit, created an understated backdrop for her newly copper-red hair, first unveiled during Milan Fashion Week weeks earlier.
Rather than competing with bold colors or prints, the minimalist silhouette allowed her carefully chosen accessories—particularly her By Far “Stevie 42” boots—to define the look.

She kept the styling restrained with delicate gold jewelry, DMY BY DMY’s rectangular “Billy” sunglasses, and Balenciaga’s croc-embossed Le Cagole XS shoulder bag.
One of fashion’s most sought-after accessories in early 2022, the Le Cagole reimagined Balenciaga’s Motorcycle bag with braided trim, buckles, and moto-inspired hardware, adding texture without overwhelming the outfit’s minimalist lines.

Carrying a bottle of her own 818 Blanco Tequila, Kendall subtly turned the sidewalk appearance into an organic brand moment while finishing the look with By Far’s “Stevie 42” knee-high boots.
The Bulgarian label became a celebrity favorite for its refined take on ’90s-inspired footwear, and the Stevie’s slim shaft, elongated pointed toe, and geometric heel echoed the outfit’s clean proportions without the heavier appearance of traditional riding boots.
By Far’s minimalist footwear has remained a recurring favorite among celebrities long after the Stevie 42 debuted. On Your Next Shoes, Nina Dobrev styled brown suede By Far “Stevie” knee boots with a belted Gabriela Hearst dress, while Demi Moore wore black “Stevie 42” boots during the Feud: Capote vs. The Swans press tour. Irina Shayk also embraced the Stevie 42 silhouette, pairing the textured leather boots with tailored leather shorts to demonstrate the design’s versatility across polished daytime and off-duty styling.

While Kendall embraced restrained minimalism, Khloé built her monochrome look around dramatic proportions and contrasting textures.
She tucked a voluminous black crop top into glossy crocodile-effect patent trousers by Brognano, allowing the sharply pointed Christian Louboutin pumps to bring structure and polish to the oversized silhouette.

Khloé completed the outfit with Jennifer Fisher’s oversized “Shane” hoop earrings, shield-like Versace VE2240 sunglasses, and Christian Louboutin’s black leather “So Kate” pumps.
Named after Kate Moss, the silhouette is celebrated for its dramatically low-cut vamp, steep pitch, and razor-thin stiletto heel—details that create the illusion of a longer leg while balancing the volume of her oversized top.
