If you open the closet of any fashion editor, you're guaranteed to find a well-worn pair of Adidas Sambas. But since this sporty style has been the go-to for several years now, it's no surprise that style hunters are already circling their next footwear favorite—including Suki Waterhouse.

The British actress and singer was recently spotted in London wearing a casual riff on her signature retro style. Toning down her bohemian-meets-rock-star aesthetic for daytime, Waterhouse paired Adidas SL 72 OG Sneakers with relaxed super-low-rise jeans, a cameo belt, and a sheer button-down shirt. She accessorized simply with a beaded necklace and oval tortoiseshell sunglasses.

If you're ready to bench your Sambas for the season, Waterhouse's brown sneakers (or the equally good royal-blue style) make an excellent upgrade. Keep scrolling to shop a selection of SL 72 OG Shoes and a few more Adidas styles we love while they're still in stock.

Even if you didn't know it, many of the leggings in your drawer are probably 7/8 leggings, meaning that they hit just above the ankle. It's a very useful style to own multiples of, but it's not going to make people stop in their tracks to compliment your legging outfit or ask where you got them. If that's something you strive for, you might want to see the legging trend Jennifer Lawrence just wore.

Lawrence, who is never one to pass up a cool casual-pant trend, chose a pair of capri leggings as opposed to the typical 7/8-length styles. Consider it the low-key version of the massively popular capri-pant trend, which is everywhere for a second summer in a row. But unlike capri pants, capri leggings look best with sneakers and flat shoes such as sporty slides, which is what Lawrence opted for. Specifically, she wore a pair of striped Adidas pool slides, which come in at a very wallet-friendly $40. The rest of her look consisted of colorful pieces, including an oversize green sweatshirt, blue baseball cap, and red handbag.

Making leggings look cool and not like the pants you put on just for hot yoga or to walk your dog when nothing else is clean is an art form, one that some have mastered more than others. Jennifer Lawrence is one of those elite-level dressers, and her most recent look only acts as further proof of her expertise in the legging-styling subject matter.

The actress was spotted in New York City, leaving her gym looking tenfold more stylish than I ever look post-workout. Specifically, Lawrence opted for a pair of black ALO leggings, wearing them with a red Roucha windbreaker—a top choice by NYC It girls—her go-to brown Hermès Lindy bag, a black flat-brim hat, and a shoe style I wouldn't have expected: Adidas slides. I always thought of Adidas slides as a shower shoe or a sandal you wore with socks after sports practice in high school, but apparently, the $17 shoes (which are currently on sale during Amazon Prime Day—run) are capable of much more. Looking at Lawrence's outfit, I seriously started questioning sneakers and flip-flops, the two shoe styles I often associate with leggings. Naturally, I ordered a pair to take advantage of the sale.

On Jennifer Lawrence: Roucha Janssen Jacket ($285); ALO 7/8 High-Waist Airlift Legging ($174); Adidas Adilette Sandals ($17); Hermès bag

What made me press purchase? It probably has something to do with the fact that Lawrence is famous for starting shoe trends, from jelly sandals to mesh flats. When she wears something, it goes viral and sells out, and when you get the opportunity to get in on the action before that happens, you act on it. Take it from someone who's hesitated and lost one too many times. I'm not doing that again, especially when her current favorite sandal is 44% off.

There's one genre I'm always looking to for outfit inspo, and that's Adidas-sneaker outfits. Why? I believe you can never have too many effortless, chic outfit ideas in your back pocket, especially when it's one of those days. You know which ones I'm talking about—those "I have nothing to wear days" when practically your whole wardrobe lies on the floor of your bedroom. Moving on, let's get into how to style Adidas sneakers in a way that feels oh so 2026.

Ahead, I've put together outfits from It girls, stylists, and fashion editors that showcase five different ways to wear Adidas sneakers this summer. Heads-up: the sportif aesthetic is back again, and balletcore has reached new levels with the Taekwondo Mei flats. Oddly, a long-sleeve tee tied around the waist sets the right tone for a nonchalant, aura-affirming summer. Enough spoilers. Scroll on for inspiration.

5 Ways to Style Adidas Sneakers in 2026

1. Baby Tee + Track Pants

If you're already an Adidas fan, then it won't be a shock when I introduce you to the Taekwondo Mei Shoes. This balletcore silhouette looks best when paired with a contrasting aesthetic, such as oversize track pants and a baby tee. Bonus points if you have a camo long-sleeve tee to tie around your waist.

2. Oversize T-Shirt + Baggy Jeans

Wearing a white top from the mother-daughter-founded NYC brand Find Me Now the Label, fashion person Stephanie Arant styles her green-and-white Adidas sneakers with baggy light-wash jeans. I'd be remiss not to mention the bug-eye sunglasses, a widely popular frame shape Gen Z is currently fixated on.

3. Soccer Jersey + Pleated Skirt

With the FIFA World Cup underway, it's almost a requirement to include a soccer jersey 'fit. London-based stylist Tori Van Breugel styled Germany's '26 Away Jersey with an asymmetrical pleated skirt and low-profile sneakers. This look is sporty, fun, and, most of all, kickoff ready.

4. Capris + Short-Sleeve Cardigan

Here's how a French woman styles the Adidas Taekwondo Mei Shoes: capris, a short-sleeved cardigan, a striped sweater, and a delicate shoulder bag. Did you notice how the sweater is styled around the waist for a casual look, how the pop of color on the lace-up shoes is mirrored in the handbag, and how the cardigan isn't buttoned up all the way? This attention to detail is key to looking as effortless and chic as the average Parisian.

5. Red Jacket + Distressed Denim

I asked Who What Wear branded content editor Aniyah Morinia how she styled her crochet Taekwondo Mei Shoes. Here's what she said: "I packed these Adidas sneakers for my recent trip to Europe because I knew they'd have the comfort of sneakers but the more eclectic and interesting style of flats. I paired my favorite baggy, distressed denim with a V-neck white tee and relied on my shoes and accessories to carry the rest of the look. I wanted to bring some color to London, so I did a bit of color blocking with my bright-red jacket and the yellow suede belt."

Summer is almost here, and I'm looking to add key items to my wardrobe. Adidas has been killing it lately, dropping a slew of on-trend styles and colorways, and the fashion set has taken notice. There's a handful of cool Adidas sneakers that fashion people have become infatuated with lately. Don't worry. I'll, of course, share my findings. If you want some solid, top-tier shoe recommendations, look no further. I've handpicked the best trending Adidas shoes just for you.

Are you looking for classic low-profile sneakers? Maybe you could use a ballet-sneaker style. No matter the preference, there's something here for every kind of fashion lover. Standout styles that I'm eyeing include the Adidas Barreda Mary Jane and Adidas Taekwondo Mei Shoes. Keep scrolling to see the pairs fashion folks are into and exactly what to buy.

After over a decade of getting dressed in NYC, I know one thing to be true: Your shoes will completely make or break your day. It's no surprise, then, that our latest outfit inspo comes from a model who has walked countless runways in everything from sky-high stiletto heels to flip-flops. That's right. Model Irina Shayk was spotted in Manhattan this week wearing a casual-cool look that officially puts skinny jeans (and leggings, TBH) on notice.

Spotted walking her two dogs—on Louis Vuitton leashes, naturally—Shayk's perfectly slouchy, distressed straight-leg jeans immediately captured our attention. It's the exact lived-in silhouette everyone prefers right now due to the sweltering city heat and because it has just the right amount of breathing room and an easy, undone vibe.

She paired the slashed denim with everyone's favorite versatile sneakers: white Adidas Sambas with classic black stripes. Shayk wore a simple gray top and aced the high-low accessory mix, topping it off with a very IYKYK MoMA New York Yankees cap, sporty wrap sunglasses, and a massive canvas tote with leather straps. It's functional, easy, and undeniably cool. Keep scrolling to see Irina Shayk's full off-duty look, then shop the basics to put it together for yourself.

According to Pinterest's Summer 2026 Trend Report: From Sports to Street Style, searches for World Cup jerseys are up 840% on the platform, and specific outfits for Mexico and Argentina team kits are also spiking—up 243% and 125%, respectively. With the biggest event in football and one of the biggest sporting events, well, ever underway, it's understandable why interest in jerseys is piqued. People, specifically fashion people, want to know how to style their country's kit during the 39-day tournament, which runs from June 11 to July 19, allowing them to cheer on whatever team they choose to support without sacrificing style.

It's a topic I think about a lot as Who What Wear's unofficial (actually, kind of official) sports expert. I average at least two sporting events a month, a number that jumps in the summertime, when there's no shortage of tennis matches, WNBA games, and Formula One races to attend. But with the World Cup kicking off, I have tunnel vision, and 100% of my focus is on the beautiful game, particularly the jerseys that the best players in the world will be wearing as they compete for the FIFA World Cup trophy. Mood boards have been made, and closets have been destroyed, all with the end goal of determining the "right" way to style a soccer jersey during the 2026 World Cup.

Ahead, see the result of my hard work and determination. Fine, I didn't work as hard as the likes of Lionel Messi, Lamine Yamal, and Erling Haaland in the lead-up to the tourney, but I must admit the World Cup jersey outfits below are just as deserving of first place.

How to Style a Soccer Jersey for the World Cup 2026

Wearing: Adidas Argentina 26 Home Authentic Jersey ($150); The Anteros Ledger Pant ($175); Burberry Long Gabardine Ellingham Fit-and-Flare Car Coat ($3150); Bottega Veneta shoes; Easton Marley The Lee ($150)

Argentina

Two words: trench coat. The easiest way to make a jersey look cool is to throw on a tailored trench, as it instantly elevates the casual shirting and is a lightweight topper that works for both day and night. This one—by Burberry, of course—has an elegant fit-and-flare shape, which dresses up the jersey even more and allows you to go a bit more casual on the bottoms. Since it'll be hot at matches around North America this summer, a pair of lightweight cotton-poplin pants, like this version by The Anteros, will keep you cool but still looking polished. I wore Bottega Veneta stretch thong sandals to add some height and dress up the look, but kitten-heel flip-flops or a pair of ballet flats would work just as well with this ensemble styled around the 2022 World Cup champion's 2026 home kit.

Wearing: Adidas Japan 26 Home Jersey ($100) and shorts; Burberry Medium Check Bowling Bag ($1850) and Check Mews High Sandals​ ($790); Ray-Ban Original Wayfarer Classic ($240); Cartier watch

Japan

The wrong-shoe (and bag) theory is a perfect starting point when styling a soccer jersey during the World Cup. Go sporty with your apparel—think Japan's home jersey and a pair of clashing athletic shorts—and finish off the look with unexpected accessories, like heeled mules and a bowler bag. This particular Burberry bag is big enough to hold flip-flops in case you have a lot of walking to do, plus all your other match-day essentials, from SPF to a handheld fan. The shoes? Well, they make the outfit, taking it from something you could wear for a game of pickup at the park to an outfit worthy of an aperitif at a bistro that hopefully has a big enough TV to watch the action during the World Cup play out.

Wearing: Adidas Spain 26 Away Authentic Jersey ($150); Prada skirt; Burberry Leather Soft Saddle Low Boots​ ($1550) and Short Kensington Heritage Trench Coat ($2850); Oliver Peoples x Khaite 1998C Cat-Eye Metal Sunglasses ($510)

Spain

One easy trick is to act as if your jersey is just a white T-shirt, styling it with statement pieces that you'd normally only pair with neutrals and basics. Here, a fringe Prada skirt in a matching shade of burgundy to Spain's away kit made for the perfect complement. But instead of heels, pick sturdier shoes that can stand up against any elements. Moto boots it is. They're comfortable but cool and add a touch of edge to the look. Finally, a cropped trench can be worn or tossed over your arm or shoulders, depending on the weather.

Wearing: Adidas Mexico 26 Home Authentic Jersey ($150); Levi's jeans; Reformation Inez Pump ($298); Burberry Cotton Polo Shirt ($395) and Mini Pocket Bag ($1750); Cartier watch

Mexico

Some of the coolest kits in World Cup history feature a polo neckline, and while none of this year's jerseys feature it, I couldn't resist making one of my own using a classic white polo from Burberry and Mexico's home jersey. With a kit this bright and colorful, you don't need to do a lot to make it look stylish. Just add a pair of vintage Levi's and some comfortable high-vamp pumps that won't tear up your feet between traveling to and from the match and standing up every time something exciting happens on the pitch. A handbag is the ultimate elevator, and this Burberry Mini Pocket Bag is a no-brainer, adding personality and timelessness to this jersey outfit.

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.

I don't know about you, but I'm a big fan of a summer sneaker. With summer just around the corner, I've been thinking that now is a great time to update my warm-weather shoe rotation. If you've also been in this mindset, then you've landed in the perfect spot. My fellow WWW editors and fashion people have pointed out a couple of Adidas arrivals that seem so cool. I decided to browse the brand's newest arrivals and have curated a selection of amazing Adidas sneakers.

In the mix, we have a range of trending styles that have blown up in popularity over the last year. Including Tokyos Handball Spezial, Japan shoes, and more. On top of that, it seems like various animal-print colorways are really making a huge appearance in this latest new-arrival drop. Keep scrolling to find your new favorite Adidas sneakers.

Slim-fit pants have had a great resurgence in the last few years (whether we like it or not). Cigarette pants and even capri pants have been at the forefront of pant trends lately, but some fashion people may be growing fatigued of the restrictions that tighter pants have. Emma Roberts may be one of them. She was just spotted in NYC wearing the absolute opposite of cigarette pants for spring. While on a walk in the city, she sported a classic navy Adidas tee with red Adidas Gazelle sneakers styled with a pair of baggy, low-rise khaki pants. She kept her accessories to a minimum with just a pair of tortoise aviator sunglasses by Celine.

Low-rise baggy pants look much cooler and more intentional with a pair of sneakers than slim-fit or cigarette pants would. On the flip side, slimmer pants tend to be cropped and look better with more delicate shoes such as ballet flats or kitten heels. So if you want to look cool in a pair of trousers, opt for baggy, low-rise khakis and wear them with sneakers like Roberts did.

If you keep tabs on the sneaker world, you're probably aware of the constant rhetoric about the next It sneakers, and more specifically, the next Adidas It sneakers. But the style that started the present-day Adidas craze is undoubtedly the Sambas—the white ones, in particular.

While we may have moved past the time in which Adidas Sambas were sold out everywhere, they're still very much relevant, and the retro low-profile sneaker trend that they fit into is still a thing. And since chances are that you already own a pair of white Sambas, it makes sense that you'd be looking for cool, fresh ways to wear them in 2026. Well, look no further than Irina Shayk. The NYC-based model is often photographed walking around NYC in incredibly chic outfits, and last week was no exception. On the same day, she was captured wearing two different outfits with classic white Sambas, both of which were easy to put together and perfect for the season, and are looks that I see worn with Adidas sneakers often.

The first look exemplified a major 2026 outfit trend: a leather bomber jacket, white T-shirt, and jeans (in this case, distressed straight-leg). The white sneakers gave the simple outfit a cool, spring-friendly touch. The second look was even easier: a beige, asymmetrical-hem midi dress with white Sambas, accessorized with an oversize tote. The asymmetrical dress added a bit more edge than, say, a white or floral-print one would, which feels very current.

There you have it—two perfect outfit ideas to wear with your white Adidas Samba sneakers in 2026. Keep scrolling to shop Irina Shayk's looks and more white Sambas, in case you're in need of a fresh pair.

I have been a shopping expert for almost 15 years now, so I'm no stranger to Nordstrom and its endless selection of stylish pieces.

In fact, the spring offering at Nordstrom right now is exceptionally good and more affordable.

Adidas and Miaou are back with a new collection, this time in celebration of the upcoming World Cup. The release marks their second collaboration, following their first campaign starring Gabbriette and Devon Lee Carlson.

Inspired by soccer aesthetics, the two continue to put a distinctly romantic spin on traditional sportswear, offering a different approach to sideline style. They shared in a press release, "With the early 2000s at its heart, the second collaborative collection between Adidas Originals and Miaou pays homage to the glamour and feminism of off-pitch style that turned footballers' support into a cultural statement."

The line features an updated Megaride silhouette available in two colorways: silver with orange accents and baby blue with silver accents. Other pieces include a corset, a jersey, and nylon track pants that reimagine the classic soccer tracksuit.

The campaign—shot to resemble paparazzi photos—stars soccer player Riccardo Calafiori and model Alyson Dubey. For the launch, the brands hosted a party at Red Lion Tavern in Los Angeles. Below, see the campaign and shop the capsule collection.

If you're anything like me, you often plan your outfits around your chosen shoes for the day. For that very reason, shoes hold such importance in my closet every season. They are the backbone of my looks, so I always keep them top of mind when doing both personal and professional shopping deep dives. With spring and summer 2026 in mind, I took note of the latest shoe trends to see what my closet might be missing. I then promptly hit up Nordstrom, thanks to its endless selection of chic shoes, to see what standouts would catch my eye.

I ended up narrowing it down to five particular trending shoe styles, ranging from classic-leaning slingback heels and flats to fashion-forward picks like flip-flops and jelly shoes.

Of all the celebrity street style formulas spotted around Los Angeles recently, Hilary Duff’s latest off-duty look might be the most relatable. Yes, we're still guilty of defaulting to standard black leggings on Sunday morning, but Duff makes a compelling case for a more laid-back version of the habitual weekend uniform.

The actress recently opted for the ultimate throwback-meets-trendsetter staple: classic three-stripe Adidas track pants worn with an oversize sweater, white tennis shoes, and a beige crossbody bag. It’s a look that could easily go from errands to exercise or vice versa.

It’s a busy season for Duff, who just released her rerecorded music, much to our delight. No wonder her style lately feels like a love letter to the classics—"So Yesterday" but also so today. If you’re looking to swap out your go-to black leggings for something a bit cooler, wide-leg track pants are an excellent option. They're effortless, slightly nostalgic, and—let's be honest—way more comfortable.

Not suede, not satin, this unexpected sneaker trend is wild, cool, and ready to be worn with jeans, jorts, and midi skirts. Well, what is it? If you're an avid Who What Wear reader or have an eye for trends, you have a better chance of guessing the 2026 sneaker trend in question. If you said animal print, you'd be correct.

This spring, fashion people from NYC to London are clearing a place on their shoe racks for a pair of animal-print sneakers. Cow print made a name for itself last fall and stayed strong. Dalmatian print appeared earlier this year as an end-of-winter trend; thankfully, the spots plan on sticking around until at least summer. Adidas has paired its own stripes with those of a zebra. (Yes, I'm talking about the Japan sneakers.) Leopard print is featured frequently on low-profile sneakers for a sleek silhouette. I can't forget about Snakeskin. The geometric sequence of the print is, in my opinion, the most elegant of the animal-print shoe trend.

We are four months into 2026, and an It sneaker has yet to be identified. (Last year's, of course, was the classic black-and-white Adidas Samba.) Consider this my application to make animal-print the official It sneaker of 2026. So whether you're a Puma fan, a Nike follower, or an Adidas lover, you can count on your favorite sneaker brands to participate. Ahead, shop the best animal-print sneakers of 2026.

Adidas Sambas have transitioned from a major sneaker trend to a wardrobe classic. Its versatility and timelessness allow it to be worn in any season, in any city, and for almost any occasion. However, the key to keeping the Samba feeling modern, rather than dated, lies in its styling. For a chic, very spring 2026 aesthetic, a winning combination—as demonstrated by Lily Collins—is pairing the sneakers with relaxed, straight-leg jeans.

This week, while in Brentwood grabbing coffee, Collins was spotted with her husband, Charlie McDowell, wearing a chic yet casual denim ensemble. The look featured a sporty jacket, a hooded sweater, and cuffed straight-leg jeans. She completed the look with suede Adidas Samba sneakers and a Chanel 25 bag.

On Lily Collins: Adidas Samba sneakers; Chanel 25 Bag ($7500)

As Collins showcased, straight-leg jeans and Sambas pair perfectly because they're both visually balanced. The jeans are neither overly baggy nor skinny; they fall cleanly from the hip to the ankles, and the sneakers match that middle-ground energy, creating an outfit that looks intentional and polished. Bottom line, it's a classic pairing that will always work.

It's officially spring, which means it's time for a seasonal shoe update. With the warmer months ahead, it's a great time to refresh your favorite outfits. As a shopping editor, one of my favorite ways to breathe new life into my go-to looks is to add a fun new shoe or accessory. Recently, I took a deep dive into Adidas latest arrivals for spring, and I'm thoroughly impressed. I highlighted a handful of styles that I loved just for your shopping pleasure.

In the mix of top Adidas picks, you'll find trending styles like Tokyos, Samba Janes, and Taekwondo Mei Ballet flats, among other styles. For spring sneakers, you can expect to find a variety of styles from classic to louder and edgier.

As one of Who What Wear UK’s resident Gen Z fashion editors, I’m always quick to note when a new shoe trend begins to emerge amongst the fashion set. So far this year, it's been a particularly mixed bag. With so many aesthetics and "cores" floating the social media-fuelled zeitgeist (think 2000s athlesiure or 2016 as the real 2026), the start of the year suggested anything but a trainer takeover. From the return of the thong heel to an influx of heeled ballerinas, the silhouettes spotlighted feel softer, and we thought a dainty approach to footwear was set to prevail this year. Yet a mid-week scroll through the feeds of my favourite fashion people under 29 painted a different story. Trainers aren't dead to Gen Z, and one sneaker brand proves just that: Adidas.

For so long, it was the Samba. Loved for its clean lines and versatility, it arrived as a breath of fresh air in an era dominated by large, chunky silhouettes. Since then, Gen Z has been Adidas-obsessed. From the retro-runner-shaped SL72 (a best-seller that comes celebrity-approved by Bella Hadid and Emily Ratajkowski) to the Campus and the Samba 2.0 (revived thanks to collaborations with musician Bad Bunny and Hermès menswear creative director Grace Wales Bonner), each style has become like gold dust in its own right amongst trainer enthusiasts everywhere.

Fast forward to spring 2026, and a variety of newer Adidas styles are shaping Gen Z's footwear rotation. Be it the sleek yet sporty Tokyo or the under-the-radar Taekwondo, each is buzzing amongst the Gen Z style set ahead of summer. Read on to shop the five Adidas trainers they’re choosing right now.

The Five Adidas Trainers Gen Z Adore Right Now

1. Taekwondo

Style Notes: A shoe rooted in martial arts, the Adidas Taekwondo lives up to every part of its name. Defined by a low-profile, laceless design, these slip-on-and-go trainers have a nostalgic 2000s-street-style essence (which could be why It girls like Iris Law, Jennifer Lawrence and Dakota Johnson adore them). Available in the classic shape and the sneakerina Mai design, we've seen them styled with everything from capri leggings to track pants and loose trousers.

2. Handball Spezial Loafers

Style Notes: Hybrid trainers are officially a thing, and the Handball Spezial Loafers are Adidas’s latest rendition of the trend. Part loafer, part trainer, they carry all the familiarity of a tried-and-true loafer, but reworked with the cushioned gum sole and signature three-stripe design of the ever-popular Spezial. With an IYKYK feel, whether paired with a maxi skirt or longline denim shorts, these trainers are for polished dressers who want to blend comfort and style.

3. Superstar II

Style Notes: Having been discarded as "dated" for a while, Adidas Originals Superstar II are back in style once again in 2026. A ‘90s classic on its way back, these trainers' shell toe and serrated stripes make them instantly distinguishable. Whilst they’re not a far cry from the pairs we owned 15 years ago, the energy feels completely renewed. It's another style that's benefited from fashion-name collabs, from Molly Mae-Hague's latte colourway to the muted toes of the Sporty & Rich collab, the Superstar II is so back.

4. Tokyo

Style Notes: The Tokyo is one of Adidas's most in-demand styles. A simple yet quietly cool design, the signature cross-back adds dimension, setting it apart from classic silhouettes. Available in both the classic design and a Mary Jane version with an elasticated strap across the foot, these trainers have an It-girl edge and look particularly good with a two-piece matching set.

5. Samba

Style Notes: Despite some declaring them "dated", Gen Z is still turning to the OG Samba. With a narrow silhouette and streamlined design free from bells and whistles, the Samba has solidified itself as a footwear staple. They're versatile enough to pair with everything from skirts to leggings and jogging bottoms, and their comfort goes unmatched.

In the fashion world, pairing sneakers with jeans isn't the most common combination because, unless done very well, the outfit can look lazy. If you're going to do it, chic dressers know that baggy jeans are the best place to start since they complement the relaxed vibe of sneakers. When it comes to footwear, it really depends on the year and current sneaker trends. In 2026, the favored style is a low-profile, retro-inspired silhouette with a white base and a splash of color. Case in point: Jennifer Lawrence's recent look.

While grabbing coffee in NYC this morning, J.Law was seen in a spring-ready denim outfit. She wore low-rise and baggy jeans, a yellow graphic tee, and a red cardigan. For accessories, she selected a blue baseball cap and oversize sunglasses, and for shoes, she wore white-and-red Adidas Tokyo sneakers.

White sneakers are a timeless and safe choice to style with jeans, but in 2026, those with good style know that white-and-red sneakers make a denim outfit stand out. They bring personality, energy, and a unique perspective to the jeans. The white base provides a classic touch, anchoring the look, and the pop of red adds a visual highlight, breaking up the neutrality and making the outfit look deliberately styled. Additionally, there's a subtle retro, sporty vibe to white-and-red sneakers that pairs well with jeans. The look aligns with Scandi style, where Danish fashion people add a controlled splash of color to their jeans or track pants through their footwear. Plus, there's no better time than spring to embrace the crispness of white and the optimism of a bold hue after months of wearing dark palettes and heavy fabrics.

Adidas SL 72

Editors love the vintagey vibe of these sneakers. Personally, I wore these on vacation last year, and they were so comfortable yet cute. I think the cushy sole has a little something to do with this.

With winter finally coming to an end in New York City, spring sneakers are top of mind for a lot of people ready to put away their snow boots and other cold-weather shoes, so I decided to browse what’s in stock at Nordstrom.

Personally, when I wear sneakers, I tend to gravitate toward pairs that look less like traditional sneakers and sometimes more like flats or Mary Janes. The XT-6 sneakers from Salomon have been go-tos for years, and I’m also a fan of the Gender Inclusive RX Moc 3.0 Slip-On Sneaker from the brand. I’ve been considering the $100 Gel-1130 Sneaker from Asics as well. For my dream pair, the Plume Mary Jane Ballet Flat Sneaker from Miu Miu is at the top of my wish list.

While scrolling through Nordstrom’s selection, I saw a range of options, from under-$100 to designer. Highlights include the Taekwondo Shoe and Tokyo Sneaker from Adidas, the Speedcat Ballet Sneaker from Puma, and the Sheryl Sneaker from Shushop. There’s also the Lace Up Sneaker from Coach for $145 and the Hank Field Sneaker from Tory Burch for $250. For more luxury options, I found the Orbit Flash Mary Jane Sneaker from Bottega Veneta, the Plume Satin Low Top Sneaker from Miu Miu, and the Collapse Mixed Media Low Top Sneaker from Prada.

At this point, it's a part of my job description to stay up to date on all things Nordstrom. I don't go a business day (weekends, too, if I'm being honest) without refreshing Nordy's under-$100 section. The minute I spot a chic and affordable find, I send it to our editor group chat to discuss. Think $60 lace-trim shorts that look very similar to a viral pair (ahem, the Dôen Iona Lace Trim Silk Satin Shorts), a restock on the thong kitten heels fashion people couldn't get enough of last year, new Adidas Tokyo colorways (I'm loving the latest black-and-white style)… The list goes on.

Luckily, I keep track of all my favorite Nordstrom under-$100 finds. RN, it's basically my spring 2026 wish list. From Caroline Bessette-Kennedy tortoise headbands to satin trousers, structured cardigans, balloon jeans, and quarter-zip sweaters, I'm prepping for the chicest spring yet. Below, see my affordable spring 2026 wish list. Shop standout under-$100 Nordstrom finds, It girl–coded new arrivals, and fashion-people staples. (You can never go wrong with a crisp button-down and a pair of Levi's.) Ahead, 33 chic under-$100 Nordstrom finds.

I have March 20 circled on my calendar as the first day of spring. While the style set settles on which trends are in and which are out, the outfit formula that consistently delivers is the effortless sneaker-and-jeans look. Its reliability and practicality make it a shoo-in with the fashion crowd. Not to mention it's the perfect way to show off your sneaker collection. My recent addition: the Adidas Tokyo shoe. According to our editors, the slim profile is a top sneaker trend to wear with jeans in 2026. Other standout spring 2026 sneakers trends include soft suedes, bright colors, and sleek whites.

A successful sneaker-and-jeans outfit is in tune with current trends but still genuine to the wearer and features well-fitting denim and a laissez-faire approach to styling. Think a flannel tied around the waist, stacked ankles, mixed washes, cuffed hems, the list goes on… The best denim to wear with sneakers, IMO, is the kind that makes you feel confident. I say ignore the trends and shop for what makes you feel good. But if you are looking to experiment, you can't go wrong with '90s-style baggy or slim-straight jeans.

Scroll on for spring 2026 outfit inspiration, from aura-affirming Canadian tuxedos to classic blue jeans and white sneakers to a trendy double-lace-and-white-denim 'fit. Ahead, the 15 chic sneaker-and-jeans outfits you'll spot all spring long.

Adidas Samba sneakers have moved beyond a mere trend to become a classic—a wardrobe staple that won't leave you looking dated. That said, maintaining that timeless appeal hinges on how you style them. While wearing Sambas with leggings and a sweatshirt is fine for a travel day, it misses the opportunity to create a cooler, more polished outfit. The chic approach for 2026 is to pair them with sweatpants and an oversize blazer.

Olivia Wilde is the latest stylish celebrity to showcase this outfit pairing. At CDG Airport in Paris, Wilde was spotted arriving for Paris Fashion Week wearing a casual yet elegant travel uniform: a black blazer, layered over a striped button-down top and a white T-shirt. On the bottom, she opted for black joggers and black Adidas Samba sneakers. She completed the look with her go-to Ray-Ban sunglasses, a tan leather tote, a black suitcase, and a leopard-print coat, which she slung over her luggage.

At Who What Wear, we often write about travel outfits and how to elevate your style while staying comfortable. After much research and covering some of these stories, I've concluded that when an elite traveler isn't wearing jeans, they opt for joggers, balancing the casualness of the sweats with a tasteful top and jacket. In this case, for Wilde, it's the relaxed blazer along with the button-down shirt, left undone and worn over a crisp tee, that's doing the heavy work. These pieces are a bit unexpected to be paired with sweats, which makes them look and feel interesting and unique. Plus, the layering is practical, since you never know whether the plane will be hot or cold.

Scroll on to see Wilde's recent look for yourself and shop Adidas Sambas—along with similar pants and blazers—to add to your 2026 wardrobe.
