It's all about comfort these days. Those trainers you might have typically worn at the gym will come into play in everyday looks as well—worn with jeans, joggers, and so on.

Okay, this silhouette isn't so much a "trend," but more of a classic silhouette that withstands the test of time—and will only continue to be popular in 2021. Those canvas kicks are versatile, comfy, and ideal to bring a low-key feel to a look.
