If your goal this year is to build a wardrobe of classics, it might be worth taking a cue from Mary-Kate Olsen. True to the ethos of her brand, The Row, Olsen doesn’t chase trends. Instead, she invests in high-quality, timeless silhouettes and wears them for years. This is especially evident in her sneaker choices, where she wears the same enduring silhouettes year after year. The Adidas Sambaes, in particular, remain one of her go-tos, and she proved it by stepping out in them in NYC yesterday.

While making a rare public appearance alongside art dealer Vito Schnabel, Olsen showcased her signature downtown chic aesthetic. She grounded her look with the classic Sambae sneakers, pairing them with a long, single-breasted velvet coat and slim-fitting black trousers. The polished, sophisticated ensemble was completed with a chunky paisley-print scarf, a brown croc-embossed bag, and black sporty sunglasses.
