SJP Just Wore Jeans With the One Shoe Trend Carrie Bradshaw Would Never Opt For
Carrie would never! Sarah Jessica Parker just styled cuffed jeans with the most surprising trainer trend.
Instead of the buzzy heels that Carrie Bradshaw would have inevitably reached for, Sarah Jessica Parker just stepped out in a trainer trend I can say with confidence that Carrie would have swerved. Forgoing the slingbacks and sky-high stilettos synonymous with her on-screen alter ego, I just spotted Sarah Jessica styling her cuffed jeans with a pair of high-top trainers.
Once a staple, high-top trainers have spent the past few seasons on the sidelines, eclipsed by the rise of sleek, low-profile silhouettes. But as fashion continues to mine the Y2K era for inspiration, I can see that the tide is turning, and naturally, Sarah Jessica is ahead of the rest.
Wearing her pair with cuffed jeans that hit just at the top of the trainers, the actor created a seamless, elongated line that softened the shoe’s more divisive edge. And whilst Carrie may not have co-signed this particular trend, the choice speaks to a shared sensibility between actor and character: an instinct for what’s next.
With a wider revival already underway, consider this your cue—scroll on to discover and shop the best high-top trainers available now.
