Not Shorts: The It-Girl Way Fashion People in Their 50s Are Wearing Adidas Sneakers This Summer
The key to making your Adidas Sambas look cool and modern, rather than dated, depends on how you style them.
Despite what you may have heard or seen, Adidas Samba sneakers remain a popular choice among the style set. They're worn for work meetings, airport travel, weekend brunch, and everything in between. Regardless of the colorway or whether donned by those in their 20s or 50s, the key to making the shoes look chic and modern lies entirely in the styling. While multiple approaches exist, Halle Berry recently demonstrated a stylish method by pairing hers with barrel-leg jeans.
While walking around NYC today, Berry was spotted in a casual yet polished ensemble featuring an oversize blazer, button-down shirt, and barrel-leg jeans. She anchored the ensemble with ivory-and-black Adidas Samba sneakers, accessorizing with a top-handle bag and bold sunglasses.
The pairing of barrel-leg jeans with Adidas sneakers is worth noting for its intentional, modern feel. The baggy, relaxed denim perfectly matches the sneakers' easy, low-key energy. At the same time, the oversize blazer and loose, unbuttoned shirt emphasize the undone, cool nature of the entire fit.
