Review of Kylie Jenner's Kai Clothing Line

Introduction

  • Reviewer bought various items from Kylie Jenner's new clothing line, Kai.
  • Previous experiences with Kylie’s clothing lines were disappointing.
  • Kai claims to offer fashion essentials at accessible prices.
  • Packaging compared to Skims (Kim Kardashian's brand).
  • Research indicates different manufacturers from Skims, but possibly same fulfillment center.
  • Prices were shared on Instagram before launch, leading to mixed opinions.
  • A second drop of colorful puffer coats announced shortly after the first.

Kai Seamless Basics

  • Immediate thoughts: Look similar to Skims.
  • Mistakenly bought two pairs of leggings instead of one with a hoodie.
  • **Specifications: **
    • Legging: Form-fitting, but possibly see-through and not ideal for workouts.
    • Seamless Mock Neck: Comfortable, good-quality, particularly liked seamless turtleneck edge.
    • Tags: Simple and printed tags preferred.
    • Material: Made in China, primarily nylon.

Comparison with Skims

  • Kai: Thicker, better quality; warm, flattering; tighter ribbed waistband.
  • Skims: Lightweight, more stretchy; softer material but less flattering.

Pricing Comparison

  • Long Sleeve: Kai - $52 vs. Skims - $68
  • Leggings: Kai - $58 vs. Skims - $68

Personal Review

  • Kai: Likely to keep the top but return the leggings.
  • Skims: Preferred the leggings over Kai for comfort and texture.

Affordable Alternatives

  • CRZ Yoga: Recommended as budget-friendly option for seamless basics.
    • Mock Neck: Butter Lux Mock Neck
    • Leggings: Butter Lux Leggings

Faux Leather Products

Pants

  • Initial Reaction: Pants seemed too big, material didn’t meet expectations.
  • Cons: Material of PU leather felt cheap, didn’t fit well.
  • Price: $118, considered expensive for the quality.
  • Alternatives:
    • Zara: Similar style at a lower price.
    • Hollister: Another affordable alternative.

Dress

  • Initial Reaction: Better fit but required help to put on.
  • Design: Corset detailing, real pockets, Kai-branded zipper.
  • Price: Was $148, and some confusion with originally advertised price of $98.
  • Cons: Lining issues causing the dress to bunch up.
  • Alternatives:
    • Asos (via Nordstrom): Currently on sale for $43, offers similar style.

Conclusion

  • Overall Impression: A mixed bag, 50/50 strike rate in satisfaction.
  • Future Interest: Reviewer will keep an eye on new drops but won’t rush to buy.
