While some might look at Jennifer Lawrence and see an Oscar-winning actor, fashion editors can't help but recognize her for her endless supply of styling inspiration. Whether dressing for a red carpet event or assembling an off-duty look, Lawrence looks sleek and put-together yet effortlessly cool every single time she steps out of her front door, often tempting me to hit the checkout button.
I was again inspired after spotting her out for a walk in New York yesterday. Styling an emerging sneaker trend that I've started to see cropping up all around me this summer, Lawrence reached for a pair of green New Balance sneakers to complete her look. As with most shades that are found in nature, the fresh green color is easy to style with a wide range of shades (trust me, this really is a thing), making a green sneaker the capsule wardrobe hero you never knew you needed and the perfect base for a casual outfit just like Lawrence's.
Wearing hers with a white cotton shirt-and-shorts set, the actor used her green trainers to breathe some color into her otherwise simple look. She styled her ensemble with a woven leather bag, tortoiseshell sunglasses, and a light-green baseball hat that matched the tone of her trainers. This look strikes the perfect blend of feeling relaxed yet pulled together all at once.
While green sneakers will always look chic with a white outfit, I've also seen the trend styled elegantly with a more vivid color palette, including blue, orange, and gold shades.
Cropping up on the streets on a daily basis, this new sneaker obsession is ready to take off this summer. Something of a palate cleanser after a season filled with Mary Janes and ballet flats, the green sneaker trend offers a playful and comfortable way to revive your style this year.
