Spotted in the Paris Airport: The Coolest Trainer Trend to Wear With Leggings RN

It was Paris Fashion Week a mere few week ago, which meant—among other things—lots of model sightings at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport. Understandably, models are usually some of the best-dressed at whatever airport numerous models need to fly in and out of at any given time, even when dressed down (as most of us are for multihour flights).
One of the models that landed at CDG during Paris Fashion Week was Barbara Palvin, who was dressed simply in an oversized black sweatshirt and black leggings. On her feet was the shoe trend that I find looks best with leggings: chunky '90s-style trainers. Last year, I actually reported that everyone in Paris was wearing chunky trainers. That's still the case from what I've seen, so I suspect that Palvin fit right in while wearing her leggings-and–chunky-trainers outfit. (Side note: I'm also seeing a lot of chunky trainers with metallic details like Palvin's, so bonus points if that's what you choose to wear with your leggings.)
