This might come as a surprise to you, because when it comes to my clothing I’m very much a minimalist, but anyone who knows me will tell you that when it comes to my footwear, I adore a "weird" shoe. To me, they’re an easy way to take my simple outfits from basic to elevated. Moreover, they’re usually extremely comfortable, something I very much prioritise when deciding whether or not to invest in a particular style.

So, unsurprisingly, I've already have several of these "unexpected" but, in my opinion, extremely chic footwear styles to elevate my wardrobe, from Y2K-inspired jelly pumps to eye-catching mesh sneakers. However, as we move into autumn, there’s been one particular shoe style that’s caught my eye, and it’s neither a ballet flat nor a trainer—rather, it is a mix of both.

Enter Onitsuka Tiger’s Gymnarina.

A lace-up ballet-trainer hybrid (also known as a "sneakerina"), the Gymnarina perfectly balances the softness of a ballet flat with the sporty edge of a traditional trainer. Made from soft leather and shirred elastic, this shoe was made with comfort in mind. Not to mention the iconic branded stripes and choice of classic leather or satin ribbon laces make this otherwise simple silhouette instantly cool.

And if you’re worried about how to style them, never fear, as these shoes can be worn with literally everything your ballet flats and trainers can. Whether you throw them on with a pair of jeans and a tank top for casual days or add them to a pretty midi dress for an unexpected twist, rest assured these cool sneakerinas will fit in with your capsule wardrobe from now and well into the autumn season.

This sneakerina might initially feel like the wrong choice for those of us who prefer to keep our outfits looking polished and pared-back; however, it's a surprisingly easy way to add interest to your otherwise simple outfit formulas, all without feeling too out of your comfort zone. And while they may not be to everyone’s taste, believe me when I say that this form-meets-function silhouette is here to stay.

As a loafers lover, I’m sure that headline seemed like a dig at the beloved fall shoe trend, but, conversely, I’m just spotlighting a shoe trend that fashion people are much more interested in. Loafers have long been synonymous with the fall season, so it’s easy to put other shoe trends in different categories. Still, there’s one in particular that never gets its flowers during the cooler seasons—until now. Cool girls are opting out of loafers and in for chunky sneakers instead.

This may come as a surprise for some, but lately even celebrities like Charlotte Lawrence have been spotted wearing chunky sneakers. Notably, a pair of Salomons, which have become the most popular non-fashion fashion shoe. "Regardless of the trends, we consistently draw inspiration from our heritage, which is rooted in performance innovation," said Salomon's marketing director of Performance and Sportstyle, Erin Cooper. "Today’s consumer is drawn to find products that work with their lifestyle, which has lent itself to be inherently functional," Cooper continued.

Just a few years ago, the hypebeast era of fashion had everyone in a pair of ultra-chunky sneakers, and now the pendulum has swung back around, this time in chicer, more effortless ways. It girls on Instagram are contrasting outfits with a pair of chunky sneakers, and I predict they will continue to do so throughout the fall. If you think so too, keep scrolling to shop for the perfect go-to chunky sneakers for fall 2026.

How Fashion Girls Wear Chunky Sneakers

Style Tip: Go gorpcore with a hike-friendly look with a pair of Salomons and a lightweight jacket.

Style Tip: Go full fall mode in a brown tonal look.

Style Tip: Who said sneakers can't be chic? Stick with a neutral sneaker with your jeans outfit.

Style Tip: Sneakers look chic even with a leather coat.

Style Tip: Sporty chic can always be a great go-to. Throw on a cool track jacket with your pair.

Style Tip: Your best bet to look elegant with sneakers is to wear them with jeans and a lightweight sweater.

In case you haven't heard, Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper stepped out for a workout in Paris today wearing small gold bands on their ring fingers, but instead of adding to the speculation, I'm going to talk about Hadid's legging outfit, as I made an interesting observation that speaks to what to look forward to this fall when it comes to legging-and-sneaker pairings.

If you're someone who gets bored with the expected combination of black leggings with white or black sneakers, and wants to wear something a bit trendier yet still somewhat classic, you should probably keep reading. Hadid just showed us all the legging color trend and sneaker color trend to wear this fall: gray leggings with dark brown suede sneakers. Gray leggings, an It-girl favorite, are just as chic as black ones, but a bit more unexpected. They're also just as versatile when it comes to what sneaker colors you can wear with them, but the most trend-forward style to pair them with this fall is undoubtedly the one Hadid chose. Hers are by New Balance, and you'll be pleased to know that a slew of other cool brands are also busy making brown suede sneakers, from Miu Miu to Adidas.

Scroll on to see Hadid's legging outfit (which also included a white tank and crew socks) for her couples workout in Paris, and shop similar gray leggings and dark brown suede sneakers to wear together. Trust me—it's a perfect combination.

Black leggings and black sneakers are a timeless activewear pairing, but if you're looking to refresh your workout wardrobe, consider making one simple swap: trade your classic leggings for navy flared pants. Making a strong case for the trend is Mia Goth, who was recently spotted styling navy flared leggings with black sneakers.

While heading to a yoga class in L.A. last week, Goth showcased the outfit pairing in a simple yet put-together way. She styled a blue oversize graphic T-shirt with navy flared leggings. To personalize her look, she wore a blue bandana tied around her head, a brown-and-white knit shoulder bag, and black retro sunglasses. For her footwear, she selected black Salomon XT-Whisper Sneakers, a popular street style design modeled after early-2000s trail-running shoes.

Flared pants strike the perfect balance between classic leggings and wide-leg pants. Made from the same comfortable, stretchy fabric, they're fitted around the waist, hips, and thighs before gently flaring out at the calf. While similar, they impart a more refined feel that makes them surprisingly easy to weave into an everyday wardrobe. Choosing navy over black also adds subtle depth and dimension, making the outfit feel more interesting without sacrificing versatility.

If you're looking for an alternative to pair with black sneakers, flared leggings or yoga pants are a great choice. You can wear them this summer with a tank top or graphic T-shirt and then take them into the fall with a lightweight sweater or sporty jacket. Read on to shop my edit of the best styles and black sneakers to pair them with.

Nicole Kidman is a woman of many talents—one of them being that she's clearly an excellent shopper. Over the years, every one of the outfits she's been spotted in has been chic and perfect for the occasion, no matter where she is in the world and whether she's on duty or off. The outfit I'm highlighting today falls into the latter category, as she wore it while vacationing with her family in Portofino, Italy, last week.

You could say that anything goes when it comes to what to wear with white sneakers these days, but some sneaker outfits are simply chicer than others, and Kidman's years of experience styling the classic shoes are apparent, as she found the two things that make white sneakers look their chicest. Trust me—you'll want to remember this easy three-piece outfit for the remainder of summer.

The outfit consisted of a striped linen button-down shirt (but other colors will do, as will other lightweight fabrics, such as poplin). With it she wore white denim shorts (hers frayed with a slightly longer inseam) and white leather Adidas Samba sneakers. (The exact color is no longer available, but I found them on StockX.)

Simply put, her outfit is as chic and easy as it gets for summer. Scroll to see (and shop it) for yourself.

Don't default to Sambas. If you're investing in a new pair of trainers this summer, there are much cooler styles to step into. Case in point: Dua Lipa, who was spotted this week styling track pants and a vivid green T-shirt with one of the season's most covetable sneaker collaborations.

Choosing the Completed Works X Asics GEL KAYANO™ 20 Black Flower Sneakers (£225), Dua skipped the low-profile trainer trend that's dominated for the past few years in favour of a fresher silhouette. Whilst Sambas earned cult status for their understated, goes-with-everything energy, Dua's pair, set on a chunkier sole, leans more sculptural, whilst the black rendering keeps its wearbility in tact.

Complete with beaded floral embellishments, the intricate detailing lends the trainers a softer, summery feel without introducing bold colour. And while the floral accents add personality, the dark colour palette keeps the design feeling modern and timeless. Dua styled hers with sporty track pants, but I can easily picture them with straight-leg jeans or even track shorts for an easy, London-ready summer outfit.

Unsurprisingly, Dua's exact pair is close to selling out, but there are plenty of black trainers that channel the same mood. Scroll on to shop my edit of the best styles below.

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.

It's already mid-July, and the heat isn't subsiding just yet. However, it's never too early to be prepared for the weather shift. Avoiding those awkward outfits amid the transitional weather is absolutely my goal going into the new season. It's usually too hot by the afternoon to wear a jacket and too chilly in the mornings not to. The best solution is the shirt trend fashion people have been obsessed with all summer: the baseball raglan T-shirt. Suki Waterhouse is the most recent celebrity example.

While out and about this week, Waterhouse was spotted wearing an eclectic summer-to-fall outfit that includes the shirt trend. She styled her red-and-white baseball tee with a pair of funky printed jeans by Desigual and multicolor sneakers from Lil Yachty's Nike collaboration. This outfit is fitting for both cool summer nights and day-to-day wear in the fall thanks to the versatility of her baseball tee.

In the modern world, sports aren't just about what happens on the court, field, or track. Much of the buzz around athletes actually takes place before their events—that is, when they arrive at their respective venues and showcase their latest fashion creations. In basketball, that's referred to as a tunnel 'fit; in Formula One, a paddock 'fit; and so on. What athletes wear when they're not in uniform matters, especially to fans who might never get to speak to their heroes. Clothes are the perfect form of communication—a window into who your favorite athlete is and what they stand for. That's what Go Sports is all about. Yes, we care about box scores, the results of Free Practice 1 (even if it is at 3 a.m.), and RHOSLC-level rivalries, but today, sports fashion matters too. We're not ashamed to say so.

According to Sports Illustrated, WNBA point guard for the New York Liberty and University of Oregon legend Sabrina Ionescu was responsible for the third most-worn basketball shoe in the NBA this past season. Her Nike Sabrina 3s were played in for a total of 26,125 minutes, with wearers including Steph Curry, Derrick White, and more. The only styles worn more? The Kobe 5s and 6s, created by the late Kobe Bryant, one of Ionescu's biggest mentors, in collaboration with Nike during his storied career in the NBA. Ionescu's 1s (2023) and 2s (2024) were just as popular, both in the NBA and the WNBA.

This morning, her fourth Signature shoe, the Sabrina 4s, debuted, continuing her journey with Nike and no doubt ushering in a new favorite among star players across the basketball landscape. It's the partnership's most innovative collection yet, according to Nike, with "a TPU FlyPlate inspired by the feel of a sprinter's launch off the starting blocks." Nike engineers then reworked the technology to gear it toward basketball. "Together with a responsive forefoot Air Zoom unit and plush Cushlon 3.0 midsole, the technology provides the support and stability needed for quick reaction times on the court," Nike stated in a press release.

To get the backstory on the Sabrina 4s, available now on Nike.com, I caught up with Ionescu midway through her season with the Liberty. Scroll down to read our conversation.

How does it feel to be releasing a fourth signature shoe and collection?

It's an honor. I can't believe we're on four. Time has just like flown by, but every single one has been so meaningful, and we've been able to create so much change, so it's an honor. I'm so blessed to be in this position—to be on the fourth—to continue to improve and want to get better every single year with the Signature line. So I'm excited for the world to be able to put them on their feet really soon.

What’s been the biggest takeaway from your experience creating now four signature shoes and collections with Nike?

You can't please everyone. At least for me, I am always like, okay, I want to create the best shoe for everybody. And then, so many people have so many different needs, and their feet are different, and what they like and what they don't like. So I think it's just been the understanding of you can't please everyone, and you just have to go out and do your best in terms of what works for you, what you think will work for the majority of basketball players—young and old—and how you can continue to improve every year. But it's just hard. Some people like them; some people don't. I think when you go out with the mindset of wanting to please people, you're not focused on what's most important: doing the best you can in the design of the shoe. So for me, every year, it's obviously collecting insight into what basketball players are saying—what they like and what they want to see different—but always knowing that I gotta just do what feels best and what we think is best as a team.

At the end of the day, you have to wear them. How much is it you and how you play and your style when you're making the shoe and how much is it looking the broad scape of basketball players?

It's really based on my needs and how I play. The feel, the weight, the traction, the comfort, and the cushioning—all of that is really based off what I need and what I feel is most important when I'm stepping out on the court, especially as a guard. So I'd say that is always the foundation and the principles of when we're pushing innovation. That's always at the forefront of what we're doing. But I think it's understanding that technology is growing every day, and we're learning more and more. So I think it's finding a great balance between pushing, but not steering too far away from what makes it a Sabrina's shoe.

What makes this particular collection special/different from the last three? How does it represent this unique stage in your basketball career?

I think it just continues to tell a really fun story. You can go out there and accomplish what you want, be who you want to be, while also enjoying the process, believing in yourself, and putting in a lot of hard work. You know, you don't get to where you are by chance, but you get there through a lot of hard work, believing in yourself, and continuing to tell that story. So, for me, it's been fun seeing the evolution of [Nike and I] being able to tell that story as I've continued to evolve in my career.

Aesthetics-wise, tell me about how you made some of the decisions you did for this collection.

I'm always tweaking a little bit, but also trying to keep what I really love in the shoe the same. So the vertical swoosh is the same. The S pattern that we have—like the haptic on the entirety of the shoe—is different. There's an eye, kind of like a gradient eye on the back, which we've always had. The traction, like pattern, is different. So we've just added a lot of different new and improved things while also keeping it the same. And then in the clothing, which is what I'm really excited about. The Aerofit is something that I haven't had in clothing and hasn't been done. So that's something I'm excited for everyone to feel when they're training and how it feels on.

Are there any pieces in the apparel collection specifically that fans of your style and your tunnel 'fits can expect to see make an appearance?

I'd say the Icon Hoodie is something that we had in the Sabrina One, which is just the hoodie that you're able to tuck the cords into the S label, and that's something that was in the 1 [collection], and then we brought it back in the 4 with obviously a different technology and in a different sweatshirt. So I'm really excited, but I would say the new Aerofit in the apparel collection, especially for training, is something you can wear. I can't tell too much, but it's sleeveless, so you're able to train in it. It's breathable. It's obviously Nike's newest material. So I'm really excited for consumers to be able to wear it and feel really, really good in it.

These collections often have little, minute pieces of personalization that you can incorporate for fans to find and experience a bit of who you are. So does this collection have any of those touches?

Definitely, like on the fly plate, it says everyone everywhere. That's something that I love because for the first few, it's been anyone anywhere, and we've evolved it. Just as we continue to grow my business globally, the shoes [are now] for everyone, everywhere. So that's been really exciting. And then I would also probably say the chrome logo that we have on a lot of the clothing reflects like a mirror, and it's to be able to see yourself in it, and you can see your own reflection. It's you versus you. You have to look in the mirror and see yourself, and you're able to go out and accomplish whatever you want because it's your own journey of finding your own purpose.

If you could have any player wear/play in this shoe, who would it be?

I think I would pick a young player, like I love Jazzy Davidson. She's been wearing a lot of my shoes. She's at [the University of Southern California], but she's an Oregon kid, as well. So I feel like that's always been fun. I've known her for a really young age, from when she was young. But I think she's the future. So it's really exciting to see how she's continued to evolve in her career. I hope she wears them.

I've spent the past few months side-eyeing mule sneakers. Somewhere between sneakers and slip-on clogs, they've slowly become a part of every brand's catalogue. I can't shop for sneakers without coming across a pair. They're designed for people who prioritize comfort without sacrificing style and want to slip on shoes and go. I understood the appeal in theory, but I wasn't convinced they'd actually work in my own wardrobe. From my perspective, they were errand shoes—never meant to have a fashion moment—but then I started to notice a few chic styles pop up on the market.

I found myself reaching for my easiest shoes to wear on busy mornings more often than not, and suddenly, the trend started to make sense. Mule sneakers offer the ease of slipping on sandals with the support of sneakers, so I became intrigued. I decided to put the trend to the test. After wearing a pair for several days, I have thoughts. Ahead, I'm sharing my honest review, the outfit I'd actually wear them with, and the best mule sneakers worth shopping if you're ready to try the trend yourself.

Let's Talk About It

After I browsed the options, the pair that ultimately caught my eye was Rag & Bone's Retro Runners. They look anything but lazy, come in the most appealing color combinations, and are lightweight with a touch of vintage inspiration. I gave them a go over the last few weeks and am ready to share my thoughts.

My honest review: I'll admit that I expected mule sneakers to be awkward, and truthfully, they took some time to get used to. During the first wear, I had to break them in to feel the same comfort and security I do when wearing regular sneakers. From the start, I recognized the simplicity and ease of the slip-on style. My one tip to anyone who is trying them on for size is that it's a good idea to size up to make sure you have plenty of room in this style.

Once I got used to them, I found them to be a lot more comfortable, and I love how they provide style while also giving me the comfort to walk anywhere and everywhere. I'd say the biggest surprise was just how stylish they are, elevating every outfit I've paired them with. My takeaway is that I can't wait to try more styles in this silhouette because they were that good.

A few pairs I'm considering are below.

Mark my words: the Vans trainer trend is about to take off all over again. How do I know? For one, online marketplace and clothing reseller StockX has reported a remarkable 209% year-on-year increase in Vans sales. And if that wasn't enough, Sofia Richie-Grainge has just stepped out wearing a pair herself.

Spotted during an off-duty outing in L.A., Sofia skipped sandals in favour of a "dated" pair of Vans checkerboard slip-ons. Once the defining trainer trend of the early 2010s, the iconic style is gearing up for a resurgence right now. "Vans is the brand I keep coming back to when I think about what's resonating right now," said Rachel Makar, Senior Director of Merchandising at StockX "Sales are up more than 200% year-over-year on StockX, average resale prices are up 73%, and it's now a top 15 most-searched brand on our platform in 2026—which is a significant signal."

Following seasons of changing trainer trends, Vans' classic slip-ons offer familiarity, as well as comfort and styling ease. Whilst Sofia wore hers with relaxed grey track trousers for an understated off-duty look, anyone who wore them during their first wave of popularity will remember just how well they work with straight-leg jeans and denim shorts as well.

If you're in the market for a new pair of trainers, I only have one recommendation for you right now. Rather than reaching for the usual white or classic black, make this the season you shop a pair of cobalt blue trainers.

Building on the wider cobalt blue trend that's already seen trousers, bags and knitwear rendered in the vibrant hue, this trainer iteration feels like the easiest way to tap into the trend. Balancing the casual nature of the shoe, the punchy colour injects instant energy into an outfit, making simple trainer outfits feel far more considered.

Style them with an all-black outfit for the perfect pop of colour without overwhelming your look. Equally, they pair well with tonal shades of blue, creating a rich, layered ensemble that feels elevated.

Instead of investing in another pair of ubiquitous white trainers or defaulting to dependable black styles, this is the shoe colour trend I'm backing for summer. If you're tempted to try the trend for yourself, keep scrolling to shop my edit of the very best cobalt blue trainers below.

Emma Corrin is a Brit vacationing in glamorous Portofino, and I'm an American working from my L.A. office, but we have one thing in common: We're wearing the exact same shoes. I've been wearing Vans Authentic Sneakers ($60) since middle school, and I'll never tire of them—I even have sepia-toned Instagram proof from 2013 in case you doubted my loyalty. Headquartered in Orange County, Vans is a SoCal staple through and through, but as Corrin just demonstrated, they're also ideal for a Euro summer spent navigating Italian cobblestone streets, traversing steep cliffside stairways, and generally walking ten times more than you would in an American suburb.

Corrin's off-white Vans sneakers have a thin blue stripe above the rubber soles, which perfectly coordinated with her blue knee-length skirt. She completed her casual outfit with a simple gray tank top, aviator sunglasses, and a baseball hat in her hand. (Don't forget that sun protection, Emma!)

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."

As someone who typically plans their outfits around shoes, it's safe to say that I'm a bit shoe obsessed.

My virtual cart ended up overflowing with my top picks of the season.

Below, I share five of the standout shoe trends at Nordstrom as well as my recommendations for each. While it was hard to narrow down, there is a great range of classic and of-the-moment styles.

If I had to describe Jennifer Aniston's '90s style in one word, it would be iconic. Whether she was off-duty on the streets of L.A. or on-screen as Rachel Green on Friends, she always stayed true to her style. She understood the power of elevated basics long before the word became buzzy, building her wardrobe around timeless, versatile pieces that still feel relevant today. Her staples included knee-length skirts, slip dresses, ribbed white tank tops, leggings, and relaxed jeans. For shoes, she loved simple open-toe heels but most notably white canvas sneakers. You could even make the case that Aniston helped popularize the style, turning a humble tennis shoe into a coveted item still to this day.

White canvas sneakers from brands like Keds, Superga, and Converse have long been classics, but since it's 2026, there's a new pair on the market that's competing for a spot, and in my opinion, it looks the most like Aniston's go-to pair while still looking modern and fresh. COS's Canvas Plimsoll Sneakers are them. The shoes feature three rows of waxed laces, tonal topstitching, and, most importantly, COS's elegant touch. The minimalist white tone allows you to style them similarly to how Aniston did or however your heart desires.

Chic, smart fashion people know that summer dressing is all about ease. Owning lightweight, breathable items that are versatile and pack well is a warm-weather wardrobe nonnegotiable. One item that meets that criterion? White sneakers. These shoes are comfortable, can be dressed up or down, and pair well with cotton and linen dresses, athletic shorts, and miniskirts. In 2026, though, It girls are proving they look coolest when paired with drawstring pants. Take Sofia Richie Grainge, for instance.

After a trip to Tokyo, Richie Grainge posted an Instagram carousel featuring glimpses of her sightseeing outings and vacation outfits. In one of her mirror selfies, Richie Grainge was spotted wearing a drawstring-pant ensemble. She styled a pair of wide-leg white pants with a three-quarter-sleeve black tee and a red jacket, which she tied around her waist.

To complete the look, Richie Grainge skipped sandals and opted for white sneakers. However, they weren't just any white sneakers. They were retro-inspired, minimalist sneakers. This is worth noting because the styling felt intentional. The slim, low-profile design created a nice contrast with the wide-leg pants. On top of that, this sneaker trend continues to dominate over loud, chunky styles.

Read on to shop my edit of the best drawstring pants and low-profile white sneakers to re-create Richie Grainge's comfortable, relaxed, and undeniably chic look.

With age comes experience and a great many trips to the airport. Celebrity airport outfits are historically all over the place, but something I've found to remain consistent over my 12 years as a Who What Wear editor is that women in their 40s and above stick to functional outfits and shoes that are also chic and polished—just like themselves. One very chic and polished woman in her 40s, Emily Blunt, just proved exactly that.

Blunt has been busy promoting her soon-to-be blockbuster film Disclosure Day around the world and was recently spotted at JFK amid her promotional tour. Her outfit was nothing short of perfection for a long flight, and the first thing I noticed was that she opted for the timeless sneaker style I often see experienced travelers wear—classic white sneakers—instead of, say, ballet flats, which every celebrity is wearing in 2026. Blunt paired the crisp leather sneakers with black joggers and a black sweater blazer over a lace-trimmed tank. The comfortable black knit layers were ideal for a long day of travel, and the white sneakers added a summery touch. Plus, as you know, white sneakers are incredibly versatile, so you're likely to wear them on repeat occasions during your trip.

If you follow celebrity news, you're probably aware that Dua Lipa and Callum Turner are having their wedding celebration in Palermo, Italy, this weekend after having their civil ceremony in London. And if you weren't aware, now you are. I mention this because the couple flew from London to Italy for the celebration, and it's my duty to report on what Lipa wore for the journey. It happens to be the biggest denim trend of summer 2026, but it's also one I'd truthfully be hesitant to wear to the airport. That said, her wedding-weekend airport outfit is swaying me.

The denim trend I'm referring to is white jeans, which don't seem all that groundbreaking, but all the coolest dressers are suddenly wearing them everywhere, including Lipa. She paired her straight-leg white jeans with a long-sleeve black tee, white sneakers, and a two-tone baseball cap. Wearing white pants is a bit risky for a travel day, especially if you're a coffee drinker, but she looks chic and fresh—more than she would in jeans of any other wash, in my opinion. If you're willing to take the risk for the sake of looking stylish at the airport, follow Dua Lipa's lead and wear white jeans on your next flight.

It's been a minute since we had a fresh dress-and-trainers outfit to discuss, so when I saw the one I'm about to put on your radar, I was immediately intrigued. White sneakers paired with a sundress of sorts had been *the* Copenhagen-coded dress outfit to wear for some time, but 2026 calls for something different, and while out for the night in NYC, Charlotte Lawrence just gave us what could be the new dress-and-trainer look of today.

Charlotte's outfit consisted of a long, minimal knit dress and chunky athletic trainers (specifically, silver-and-red Salomons). As the saying goes, opposites attract. The combination of the sleek long dress with the rugged trainers (bonus points for the leopard-print bag) makes for a very of-the-moment outfit, and the fact that it's a far cry from the fit-and-flare midi dress plus white trainers look of years past is refreshing.

Listen. We're all fans of ballet flats and the cool girl–approved flip-flop trend that's been circulating as of late, but sometimes, it's good to branch out. As a self-proclaimed shoe lover, I enjoy seeing a new shoe trend come onto the scene, especially when it's endorsed by certified It girl Vittoria Ceretti. Ceretti was just spotted wearing a look that would typically be paired with the aforementioned shoe trends, yet she opted for a much more surprising style instead.

Ceretti's outfit had quintessential model-off-duty vibes, and she casually wore an oversize yellow zip-up hoodie layered over a simple cropped white T-shirt. She sported striped pants, which have garnered attention as a major summer trend. In hand, she toted an ever-covetable Hermès Box Kelly Bag in rich chocolate-brown and accessorized further with a pair of black sunglasses. Then the shocker hit: her multicolor sneakers in place of the usual flip-flops or ballet flats. This sneaker choice was particularly noteworthy since it feels like everyone is donning retro low-profile sneakers exclusively. It's been a minute since I've seen chunky, colorful sneakers, and frankly, it feels quite refreshing.

Okay, I'll admit it: until recently, I didn't own many pairs of trainers. For years, one pair of white Converse was enough to throw on with my casual jeans outfits, but it was one special pair (the Stan Smiths from the very first drop of the Adidas X Gucci collab, to be precise) that changed my entire outlook. No longer the reserve of gym and airport 'fits, I began to see statement trainers as their own moment. Logos! Colours! Prints! Detailing! Just as my many pairs of heels could work for any outfit, so could the right pair of designer trainers.

Don't get me wrong: this isn't a ploy to get you to pay through the nose for something that would normally be half the price, but I think there is some merit in the attention to detail designer trainers have. Sure, some of fashion’s most hyped styles over the past few years have gone back to basics; take the Adidas Samba, for example, but when it comes to the pairs that get the fashion crowd excited, we're looking for a little more. There's a reason your feed is suddenly full of Vibram Five Fingers and Isabel Marant Becketts, after all...

On the hunt for a trainer that would be comfortable, versatile and fashion-forward, I started looking through designer collaborations and luxury launches to see which styles would tick every box. From Gucci to Miu Miu, Maison Margiela to Loewe, it's clear that designer trainers are bigger than ever, and brands are keen to deliver styles that can replace your everyday Nikes, not just gather dust in their box.

Wondering which designer trainers are coming out on top for 2026? Whether you prefer slimline silhouettes, gorpcore toggles and zips, athletic runners or pretty sneakerinas, there's something in this list for you. And now, as the temperature rises with a sunny summer ahead, you can expect to see these trainers paired with everything from jorts to romantic dressers instead of solely relying on sandals. Ready to dive in? Keep scrolling to see and shop the coolest designer It trainers on the market this summer.

1. MM6 X Salomon

Style Notes: If you missed out on Maison Margiela's Tabi-toed trainer collab with Reebok a few years ago, don't fear. Diffusion line MM6 has teamed up with sought-after brand Salomon on a trekky, sporty hybrid that has already been doing the rounds on Instagram. If you love classic Salomons, there's a lot to like about these, and they'll fare just as well on a hike as they do on the high street.

2. Loewe X On CloudTilt Hi

Style Notes: Another popular return after a smash-hit run, Loewe has again teamed up with activewear brand On for another iteration of the Cloudtilt, this time in a high-top style. Performance trainers don't get more stylish than this, and even though you're more likely to spot these in the gym than styled with a cute summer dress, the Loewe logo still elevates them to "fashion insider" status.

3. Jil Sander X Puma K-Street Sneaker

Style Notes: The Jil Sander X Puma collab dropped earlier this year to a very, very warm reception amongst trainer fans and the fashion crowd alike. The brand's signatures are all present: pared-back minimalism, sleek silhouettes and premium quality, but it's also fun to see Simone Bellotti's interpretation of casual cool take the form of this undeniably chic sneaker.

4. Dior Couer Trainer

Style Notes: You may not have noticed Dior's Cœur trainer creep into the new-in section, as it didn't get a spotlight release, but I have a feeling this pretty pair is going to do very well on the street-style circuit come fashion month. Delicate, refined and in a springy floral print, this is the kind of trainer that will go perfectly with full skirts and floaty dresses when you're ready to retire your flip-flops.

5. Nike X Jacquemus Moon Shoe

Style Notes: After the first drop sold out almost immediately (and you can only find it now on the resell market for at least three times the RRP), the second drop of the Jacquemus X Nike Moon Shoe came with a chunky wait list. Those fortunate enough to get their hands on a pair of these retro runners were amongst the first to sport the form-fitting silhouette that is now all over the high street, too. There are a few precious sizes left in stock, but I have a feeling they're not going to stick around for long.

6. Dolce & Gabbana X Diadora

Style Notes: Now to a designer collab so new, you can only pre-order: Dolce & Gabbana X Diadora. Diadora has been making a name for itself recently, with its JW Anderson trainer collab only landing a few months ago but predictably clearing the shelves. Its latest project is with Dolce & Gabbana on a fierce run of leopard-print kicks and football cleats designed to cause a stir.

7. Cecilie Bahsen X ASICS

Style Notes: It's a big year to be a Cecilie Bahnsen fan. After impressive collabs with Uniqlo and The North Face, her second team-up with Asics is on a Gel-Quantum 360 trainer: an ultra-feminine take on the brand's most popular silhouette. After seeing them on the runway and on Copenhagen's best-dressed, I'm convinced that the best way to wear these is with a big Cecilie Bahnsen skirt and red socks for a fun high/low mix.

8. Miu Miu X New Balance 530 SL

Style Notes: The Miu Miu X New Balance collab was one of the biggest sneaker drops of recent years, and although the shoe that launched a thousand copies was harder to catch than gold dust, a quiet launch of some online exclusives meant another opportunity to get your hands on a pair in Periwinkle Blue, Hazelnut and Sage Green. Not in your size? You may have more luck with the Sézane drop.

Welcome to the cool-sneaker renaissance. Even though summer is always associated with the arrival of sandals, summer 2026 is set to be the season of sneakers. Everywhere we look, fashion people are bumping one of the many fresh pairs that are emerging right now to the very front of their outfit rotations. The most exciting styles of the moment are coming from heritage sportswear brands like Adidas, but also from more unlikely fashion labels, including Jacquemus, whose viral Nike collab sneakers are virtually sold-out everywhere, and ALO, who are putting its own forward spin on warm-weather sneakers.

With so many new styles launching into the market, sneakers have never looked better, and even if you don't consider yourself a big sneaker person, there's a good chance you'll be influenced to add a pair to your outfit rotation this season. At least, all the fashion people with good taste will be doing so—specifically, the exact six summer sneaker trends below. These are the overall silhouettes, key colors, and themes that you'll see on every block from L.A. to NYC and in your feed on key tastemakers. From ballet-inspired silhouettes to the prettiest hue, discover and shop them each here.

The 6 Major Sneaker Trends of Summer 2026

1. Butter-Yellow Sneakers

Sneakers are getting much more colorful these days, and the prettiest colors are undeniably the many pastel tones designers are dreaming up right now. But none are quite as in-demand as butter-yellow sneakers—aka the It color of the season.

2. Ballet-Inspired Sneakers

If sneakers and ballet flats got married and had a baby, it would look like one of these pretty hybrid styles. With the rubbery soles and walkability of a classic sneaker and the eye-catching details of a ballerina flat, these are kind of the best of both worlds. If you're looking for sneakers that you can style with non-athletic outfits all summer, these are it.

3. Satin Sneakers

Speaking of sneakers that look best with non-athletic outfits, Elsa Hosk just confirmed it: satin sneakers are the ones that every It girl will be styling with dresses and skirts all summer. The iridescent finish is just too pretty to relegate for wearing only with leggings.

4. Canvas Sneakers

Canvas sneakers from The Row and Jacquemus are putting the everyday silhouettes back on our radar this season. Defined by a low-profile, lace-up look, these are the everyday pairs you can wear with just about everything.

5. Scrunch Sneakers

As ballet flats and sneakers converge, we're starting to get new sub-genres like a style I'm calling scrunch sneakers. They feature an elasticated ankle that gives them a soft, immediately lived-in feel.

6. Black-and-White Sneakers

Colorful sneakers may be everywhere at the moment, but graphic black-and-white iterations are on the rise for minimalists, too. A logo pop feels fresh on one of these pairs.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but just because fitted-waist blazers and colorful technical or satin sneakers are "in" doesn't mean we should count out or label oversize blazers or white low-profile sneakers as "dated." In fact, these two items will always be relevant, providing a strong foundation for a polished outfit. If you need proof, look at Julianne Moore's recent outfit.

This week, for a lunch outing in NYC, Moore stepped out in an ensemble that perfectly balanced casual comfort with sophisticated style. Her look consisted of an oversize blazer, a T-shirt, and jeans. She accessorized with a baseball cap, a designer shoulder bag, and sleek white sneakers.

On Julianne Moore: Bottega Veneta bag

While the blazer and T-shirt provided a sleek, monochromatic black upper half, the actress chose to skip the expected pairing of standard blue denim or black trousers. Instead, she opted for ecru jeans. This subtle yet impactful choice of a creamy, off-white hue made the outfit look and feel intentional while emphasizing the power of thoughtful styling.

Whether I'm headed on vacation or bopping around the city with my friends, I always make use of comfy yet cool-looking sneakers to get me through the seasons.

Put down the Sambas. As reliable as they are, they’re no longer the coolest trainers in the fashion set’s rotation. Instead, the chicest dressers are gravitating towards a sleeker, more elevated alternative that feels just as timeless—but a little fresher.

Recently spotted pairing hers with classic jeans, Uma Thurman styled her denim with a crisp white pair of Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 trainers. The choice feels particularly fitting given Thurman’s long-standing connection to the brand: she famously propelled the trainers to cult status in the early 2000s through her role as The Bride in Kill Bill. Now, more than two decades later, she’s returned to the same enduring silhouette.
