Black Pants and Sneakers Won't Look Dated If You Wear Them With This Chic-Girl Accessory Trend
Shop the outfit-upgrading accessory trend you'll wear again and again.
Not to say that black pants and sneakers automatically look dated by any means, but such a classic combination doesn't necessarily look trend-forward automatically either. So if the latter is your goal, the easiest way to achieve it this fall (and on from there) is with the accessory trend the chicest, coolest of It girls, Zoë Kravitz, just wore in NYC.
Kravitz was spotted in Manhattan over the weekend wearing the aforementioned black pants with black Adidas Samba sneakers and an oversized white button-down. And the 2026 accessory trend I'm referring to is a sheer skinny scarf, which she casually draped over her shoulders. In the past, a scarf of this nature may have been put in the dressy eveningwear box, but Kravitz and a slew of other fashion people have recently proven that it's even cooler to wear it with more casual looks. You can wear it as Kravitz did, you can knot it, or drape it around your neck with the ends cascading down your back—just a few of many ideas for styling the versatile trend.
Scroll on to see Kravitz's chic look and shop sheer skinny scarves for your own black-pants-and-sneakers outfits (or any other outfit, for that matter).
