I've always believed that some of the strongest outfits are born in the space between seasons, so whilst I'm still making the most of summer dressing, I've also started thinking about the autumn staples I can begin weaving into my wardrobe now, and Jennifer Lawrence has reminded me of one of the very best.

Pairing summer's favourite shoe trend—sleek leather flip-flops—with what I predict will be one of autumn's most-worn trousers, wide-leg black styles, Jennifer crafted one of her best looks. Effortless and elegant, her black, wide-leg trousers and leather flip-flops outfit offers an easy way to settle your styling into the new season without giving up the breezy pieces we're still reaching for now.

Choosing fluid black trousers that pooled around her feet, Jennifer's minimalist leather flip-flops revealed just enough skin to stop the look from feeling heavy. She finished the outfit with a white button-down shirt, styling a knit draped over her shoulders and tied across the front, and Dior's convertible Cigale Bag in a soft pale pink worked to bring a hit of colour to an otherwise pared-back palette.

We're currently in that sweet spot of the year when full-length trousers feel comfortable again, but open-toe shoes are still more than appropriate. If you're looking for an easy outfit formula to wear now and well into next season, keep scrolling to shop the best wide-leg black trousers and leather flip-flops to recreate Jennifer Lawrence's look below.

With high summer upon us, it should come as no surprise to see an influx of chic airport outfits as members of the celebrity style set flee for the balmy comforts of some far-flung beach or scintillating escape. Jennifer Lawrence was clearly in the holiday mood when she arrived at JFK wearing a pair of shoes you’re least likely to see in the departures hall—water shoes.

Indeed, there is a fine art to curating an enviable travel ensemble. Unlike your errands uniform or going out attire, what you wear to fly in needs to be incredibly functional whilst still appealing to our more sophisticated sides. It’s this reason why you’ll typically find aspirational jet setters in functional trainers or gathered loafers. But not this Oscar winner.

Always threading the needle between bohemian maximalism and artistic luxury, Lawrence’s style is both eclectic and sleek, so when she stepped out wearing a pair of shoes that you’d most commonly see along beaches in the Mediterranean, we need not bat an eyelid. For the flight, she stepped out in a black polo shirt from La Ligne, Adidas track pants and neoprene water shoes from Ralph Lauren.

Only Lawrence could team a pair of shoes you’d wear on rocky coastlines with a bag from The Row and look both aspirational and accessible. But it’s this quality that we adore about her style.

Consider this obscure footwear choice to be the equivalent of wearing a souvenir T-shirt or a baseball cap emblazoned with your destination on it. Because when you’re wearing shoes like these, you’re making a firm case for skipping past trivial matters like checking into your hotel and heading straight to the beach once you land.

And in a time where Vibram five-finger shoes and jelly mules are all the rage, there’s no reason why wearing water shoes when you’re miles away from the closest ocean should be sneered at. So, whether you’re heading away or staying put in the city, water shoes are

Flip-flops have officially ditched their bad reputation, especially in New York. Many locals had sworn off them until the last few years, when they came roaring back into fashion's good graces thanks to Scandi girls and a few elevated styles from the likes of The Row and Toteme. That's not to say, though, that the flat shoe style is for everyone. Whether they're trendy or not, some people still refuse to wear flip-flops, preferring other flat sandals, and that's their right. Fortunately, there are plenty of chic flip-flop alternatives, and one particular style is a beloved choice among women in their 30s and 40s, from Jennifer Lawrence to Meghan Markle.

The former recently wore a pair in New York City, where it's blisteringly hot out, calling for easy, comfortable sandals. Lawrence was spotted on her way to dinner, nearby Altro Paradiso in SoHo. For the occasion, she chose a cropped graphic tee, an ivory maxi slip skirt, and a pair of cognac-brown toe-loop sandals. She finished off the look with a vintage burgundy Fendi baguette bag.

Lawrence is far from the first A-lister to wear toe-loop sandals instead of flip-flops or other sandal styles. For years, Meghan Markle has worn a pair by Emme Parsons that features a jewellery-like toe bauble, wearing them with everything from denim shorts to jersey jumpsuits. Specifically, hers are called the Laurie Sandals, and they come in many colours.

As a result of high-profile fans like these, toe-loop sandals have quietly risen in the ranks in fashion, offering an alternative to those who either want to switch it up from flip-flops or downright dislike the popular, albeit controversial, flat-sandal trend. If either fits your current feelings for the shoes, keep scrolling. There are plenty of elegant toe-loop sandals of all styles below.

After a series of summers being claimed by a specific fruit (tomato girl summer), tinned fish (sardine girl summer) or a Nancy Meyers-inspired matriarch (coastal grandmother summer), this season feels refreshingly devoid of a specific archetype that everyone is chasing.

That was until Jennifer Lawrence stepped out yesterday in New York City. The actor’s off-duty wardrobe is a masterful combination of bohemian maximalism, quiet luxury and vintage pieces, resulting in eccentric ensembles that always look luxurious and artistic, albeit accessible. And after a few years dominated by a collective obsession with stealth wealth of Carolyn Bessette Kennedy-inspired minimalism, it’s a welcome change to see a member of the celebrity style set borrow from different genres and sartorial moods when pulling together their looks.

It sounds trite, especially given how the majority of us wouldn’t ever think about the provenance or aesthetic of the item of clothing we’re wearing, but where street style can sometimes feel so prescriptive, you can’t fault the Oscar winner for stepping out in something you know a stylist didn’t meticulously curate for her. This is precisely why we should all be trying to have a Jennifer Lawrence summer this season.

Instead of adhering to a set formula or micro trend, the most chic amongst us are using the warm months to experiment with unexpected silhouettes, referencing different decades and taking cues from random places from art, film and literature. Take her latest look, for instance.

Whilst running errands in Manhattan, Lawrence stepped out in a pretty standard formula of denim shorts, white T-shirt and balmy sandals. However, to make the look feel more aligned with her own personal tastes, and by direct correlation more authentic and therefore aspirational, she subverted these basics by opting for graphic touches, vibrant colourways and refined shapes.

The look in question was centred around a pair of elongated denim Bermuda shorts from New York-based brand Still Here. Long and loose, the soft shape casually grazed her knee, invoking the blissful elegance of Brigitte Bardot wandering through Saint-Tropez. But rather than feeling too Parisian-on-vacation, she paired the look with an oversized T-shirt of dolphins swimming in São Jorge in Portugal. It’s the exact thing you might buy ironically as a tourist from a hotel gift shop, but when paired with a Marty Supreme orange croc bag and polished T-bar sandals, the look felt instantly elevated.

Still, she didn’t stop there. On her face, she opted for The Row’s oversized Maud sunglasses, which are a bug-eye shape beloved by the likes of Harry Styles and Zoë Kravitz. Of course, if you’ve spent any time on social media lately, you’ll be aware of how much Celine’s ‘60s-inspired shades are dominating fashion spheres. Here, Lawrence is wearing something that can only be described as Jackie Kennedy by way of Miami Beach with a touch of French Riviera refinement. Now, try to summarise that into three viral words…

There’s an old adage that suggests you should always dress for the job you want, not the one you have. But with temperatures soaring high into the 30°s right now in London, I’m co-opting this slightly by dressing for the weather I want, not the weather I have. Doing anything right now feels like a literal chore, let alone pulling together an outfit that can keep me cool whilst looking stylish. Yet, as I stare into the deep void that is my wardrobe and have an existential crisis over everything I’ve ever bought before, Jennifer Lawrence is swanning around New York in the perfect heatwave-proof city summer outfit.

For her latest outing, the actress turned to a few trusted staples, proving that you don’t have to reinvent the wheel when it comes to piecing together a balmy ensemble. (A fitting analogy, given she was riding a bicycle for the majority of this excursion) Taking to the streets, she wore a breezy oversized striped shirt, crepe trousers, both of which are from La Ligne, and a pair of divisive summer shoes.

To know Jennifer Lawrence is to know she always features one eccentric or unexpected element in her outfits. In this case, she ditched the summer shoes du jour, which, for the uninitiated, are either jelly sandals or sleek flip-flops for her go-to pair. The style in question are chunky suede slides from the luxury French footwear and accessories brand, Pierre Hardy. They also feature a silver buckle, which gives them an almost Western flair, despite the only terrain she was traversing being the concrete jungle of Manhattan. (As they say, save a horse, ride a Citi Bike.)

This is the third time Lawrence has been spotted in the flats, meaning they’re either her door shoe, a term that refers to the pair of shoes you keep by your entryway in case of emergencies or can easily slip into to run errands, or she’s working hard to give this once maligned style another chance. You see, these chunky sandals have a reputation for being slightly past their prime. A more unkind read would have people calling them ugly and orthopaedic. However, with Lawrence regularly reaching for them, I have to believe that there’s more to this pair than meets the eye. And with the mercury shooting up by the day, I’m willing to give anything that’s effortless and functional a chance.

Shop the Chunky Flat Sandal Trend:

I'm sorry, but I just can't bring myself to wear flip-flops in the city. I've lived in London long enough to know that the pavements are simply too dirty and dusty for comfort. As such, I reserve these barely-there shoes for beach-bound destinations and opt for something with a little more coverage as I move between city engagements. In fact, my favourite city sandals just got another tick of approval when I spotted actor—and my personal long-time style icon—Jennifer Lawrence wearing the very sandal trend I always reach for on hot city days.

Clearly on a similar wavelength, Jennifer swapped trending flip-flops for a pair of flat, chunkier sandals as she strode through the city. Wearing a now sold-out pair of Pierre Hardy Mules (£515), her shoes featured two thick straps complete with chunky buckles, rendered in a light brown hue that offered a higher-coverage finish and a more secure feel.

Far less likely to invite dust and dirt into your shoes, the thicker sole and hardier straps make for a much more practical choice for city strolls, while still tapping into a trending silhouette that blends into the urban fashion scene.

Styled with lightweight white trousers and a Leset's James Merino Wool Cardigan (£266), Jennifer's look was infused with her signature unfussy cool.

Jennifer Lawrence has always had a pretty fearless sense of style. Now more so than ever, she seems game to experiment with more eclectic and controversial fashion trends, whether it be the millennial-approved suede slide sandals she paired with her beloved silver sequin-adored Siedrés trousers or styling vintage-inspired floral trousers with red-and-black flip-flops from The Row.

Still, her latest intrepid silhouette could just very well be her boldest, attending an intimate dinner in New York yesterday evening in the piquant colour trend that’s sparked quite the sartorial controversy this year—chartreuse.

Joining her fellow Hollywood heavyweights, Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio, at the wrap party for their new film What Happens at Night, the Academy Award winner arrived in a wispy, sheer set rendered in the polarising hue. Though the ethereal ensemble appeared like a wafty dress at first glance, upon closer inspection, the look revealed itself to be a three-piece set from New Zealand-based brand Harris Tapper.

The actress opted for pieces from the label’s new pre-fall 2026 collection, specifically a Prada spring/summer 2009-esque tie-up blouse, a wide-leg trouser and slip skirt, all rendered in a sumptuous silk georgette. Speaking to the co-founders and creative directors of Harris Tapper, Sarah Harris Gould and Lauren Tapper, the pair revealed they were drawn to the acidic hue “in contrast with fabrications that are inherently feminine, such as soft velvet and silk georgette”. The juxtaposition “between a shocking colour and subtle soft fabric is interesting and fresh,” they add.

When speaking about the specifics of the ensemble, they share that “1920s bed wear, undergarments and pieces that were typically reserved for intimate moments” were on their creative moodboard. “The softness and ease in these pieces felt attractive. We wanted to bring the same sense of ease into the everyday.” The endorsement is an incredible milestone for the burgeoning brand, who reveal that “her easy yet elegant approach to dressing mirrors our own approach to design.”

Placed somewhere between an acidic yellow and electric green, the hybrid colour, which derives its name from the famous French liqueur, has garnered quite the reputation over the past few months for its divisive nature. However, with the shade closely tied to the release of Charli XCX’s magnum opus club record Brat, chartreuse has developed quite the cultural cache.

On the red carpet, chartreuse cropped up on both Sarah Pidgeon and Alexa Chung, who were wearing Loewe and Dior, respectively, at the Met Gala back in May. On the runway, this striking shade made countless appearances, from asymmetrical satin skirts at Alaia to pleated minis at Ferragamo and bubble underlays at Prada.

Elsewhere, chartreuse picked up steam at Australian Fashion Week, with the shade seen on guests attending one of the flagship shows of the season at decisively minimal brand Beare Park. Even a few weeks ago, the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, also endorsed the shade at an industry event celebrating the release of Netflix’s second season of Beef.

Jennifer Lawrence has become somewhat of a creature of habit when it comes to her styling choices. After undergoing a quietly luxurious makeover a few years ago—a sartorial evolution that marked her return to the silver screen after giving birth to her first child—the Academy Award-winning actress has remained loyal to a suite of luxury brands, emerging names and vintage favourites.

Always piecing together ensembles that convey her devotion to opulent fabrics and well-crafted basics, Lawrence never fails to throw a sartorial curve-ball in the mix that reminds us that, whilst her wardrobe budget might’ve increased, her taste for eccentricity and the unexpected remains the same. (After all, this is the woman who was wearing jelly shoes and floral denim years before designers like Chloé ever caught on.)

It’s well known that this mode of pairing opulent wardrobe staples with more eclectic accessories has become her street style default, so it should come as no surprise to see her revive this template for her latest off-duty look. What is noteworthy, however, is that she chose to replicate an outfit she wore a month earlier, albeit with one significant change.

For her most recent outing, the 35-year-old reprised the cherry blossom-coloured trousers from Turkish-based fashion brand Siedrés. Leaning into the languid and bohemian nature of the silver sequin-embellished pants, she completed the look with a red crew-neck t-shirt and understated accessories, including a bubblegum pink baseball cap emblazoned with the iconic Wong Kar Wai romantic drama In the Mood for Love and a Hermès Lindy bag.

Still, the thing that piqued our interest was the fact that she chose to accessorise her effortless attire with a dated summer trend revered by millennials—slide sandals. Lawrence’s exact slip-ons are a tan suede version from Pierre Hardy, but they signify a quiet rejection of current wardrobe staples—jelly fishermen’s, two-toned flip-flops—by some of NYC’s best dressed.

Of course, the Birkenstock Arizona, in all its orthopaedic glory, is the style mostly associated with this silhouette, and with contemporary fashion brands like Song For The Mute and Danielle Frankel also co-signing this shape, it’s only a matter of time before everyone is sliding into these like it’s 2010 again. Of course, those in the know will be acutely aware of how highly endorsed this polarising shape is within fashion’s elite. (Lest we forget that Phoebe Philo presented a fur-lined interpretation for Celine’s spring/summer 2013 collection.)

Though the shoe has certainly waned in popularity over the past decade, who would’ve predicted that an innocuous outing by Jennifer Lawrence would be all the humble slide needed to renew interest? And with summer’s scorching temperatures and promise of seaside holidays on the horizon, what better time to give it another try? After all, Lena Dunham is having a cultural renaissance, indie sleaze is having its moment, and everyone on social media is once again obsessed with cake, so why not throw it all the way back with your summer footwear choices…

Don’t let your white tees and jeans take all the off-duty glory. Instead, take a cue from New York’s best dressed and swap your usual denim for a laid-back graphic tee and colourful pair of track pants the next time you’ve got errands to run.

Making a convincing case for the combination this week, Jennifer Lawrence stepped out in an off-duty outfit every bit as easy as the classic T-shirt-and-jeans formula—but IMO, so much fresher. Starting with a playful base, the actor wore a yellow Mickey Mouse graphic tee. From there, she steered away from her go-to jeans, instead slipping into a vibrant pair of Loewe track pants, complete with a sporty side stripe.

On her feet, Jennifer skipped over predictable trainers and trending ballet flats, instead opting for a striped pair of Adidas slides. Finished with a brown leather shoulder bag and sleek black sunglasses, Jennifer crafted a laid-back look I'd gladly step into this week.

Simple though it may be, by playing with colour, contrast and silhouette, Lawrence's look felt far more directional than your average white tee and jeans ensemble. Plus, with track pants offering all the comfort denim rarely can, it feels especially primed for busy city days. Read on to shop the best JLaw-inspired track pants below.

If you’re thinking about bolstering your wardrobe with an elegant shoe trend, might I point you towards a pair of satin kitten heels? Defined by their modest heel height and finished with a soft, light-catching sheen, they bring an easy elegance to every outfit. It’s easily one of the chicest styles to have on your radar right now.

Making my case, Jennifer Lawrence stepped out this week in a timeless black dress layered under a longline brown coat, grounding the look with a pair of satin kitten heels. More refined than ballet flats and Mary Janes, yet far less formal than a towering heel, this in-between adds just the right amount of sophistication to her understated ensemble.

What sets satin styles apart from their leather or suede counterparts is their softness and subtle luminosity, which feels especially suited to spring and summer dressing. While Lawrence paired hers with an ankle-grazing hemline, this is a trend that translates just as well to tailored trousers or relaxed denim.

A shoe trend I’d confidently recommend to almost anyone. Scroll on to discover and shop my edit of the best satin kitten heels available now.

If you haven’t been keeping up with the trend cycle lately, allow me to introduce you to the overarching mood permeating the season—the art of joy and dressing up.

From Matthieu Blazy’s rapturous rainbow-coloured skirts for his debut collection at Chanel to Jonathan Anderson’s ethereal and elegant designs that paid homage to the ladylike essence of Christian Dior, the dominant trend du jour encourages experimentation, playfulness and finding a sense of enjoyment through the clothes you wear.

If this sartorial pursuit is piquing interest, then allow me to introduce you to the most in-demand trend at the moment, which also serves as a shortcut to injecting more serotonin into your ensembles. Enter: the silver sequin fashion trend.

As the name suggests, this is a movement rooted in wearing mirror-like silver sequins. From chintzy paillettes to reflective studs and metallic eyelets, embellishments are taking centre stage for the spring and summer. For the majority of us, wearing something this ornamental would only feel fitting for an end-of-year festive party or during a sun-kissed evening out on some balmy island.

However, this trend is becoming increasingly popular among the more minimalist style savants amongst us. And during a period that prioritises adding gaiety and opulence to the everyday—especially through your outfits—what could be more appropriate?

For the uninitiated, the silver sequin fashion trend first rose to prominence during Prada’s spring/summer 1999 collection. Presented during Milan Fashion Week, the show featured a range of lightweight technical jackets rendered in airy nylon fabrics, pleated skirts in high-octane colour palettes and a range of mirror disc separates and coats made from buttery leather.

Earlier in the year, Jessie Buckley attended a pre-Oscar screening in London for the Academy Award-nominated Hamnet, wearing a piece from the range, proving not only her archival fashion kudos and know-how, but also just how timeless this motif actually is.

Other designers are backing this trend, too. In 2023, Tory Burch took inspiration from Mrs Prada’s design and offered her own interpretation of silver sequin dresses and skirts. In 2025, cult-favourite, Barcelona-based, cool-girl label Gimaguas launched a range of sensual minis adorned with these spherical accents, which instantly became a calling cry for beachy escapes upon its launch.

Even last week, Jennifer Lawrence was out running errands through Manhattan wearing a pair of bubblegum-pink Siedrés trousers finished with floral-print sequins. She completed the party-ready pants with a red cotton-jersey polo shirt and yellow suede loafers from The Row.

So, whether you’re in need of spicing up a tried-and-tested silhouette or are looking for a vintage-inspired piece that can see through the delightful weather ahead, the silver sequin trend is one that you can safely invest in. As Lorde said in her breakout single “Solar Power”, come on and let the bliss begin…

Jennifer Lawrence has become somewhat of a sartorial chameleon of late. After the Academy Award winner completely overhauled her wardrobe to mimic the fashion philosophy of the Olsen Twins—complete with sumptuous head-to-toe ensembles from The Row and eclectic ensembles that pair Indian pashmina shawls with La Ligne jeans, an Hermés Birkin, Prada cardigan and Nike AirRift sneakers—it’s not an unusual occurrence to see the star out and about in New York wearing something completely captivating.

Oscillating between two approaches to fashion—bohemian maximalism and slouchy minimalism—after careful inspection, it’s become clear that this one shoe trend has remained a cornerstone of her off-duty uniform, no matter the mode she’s embracing. Indeed, despite carrying the latest bag du jour designed by Jonathan Anderson for Dior or having just stepped off the red carpet wearing custom Givenchy, the 35-year-old seems to have a penchant for trainers, making this humble flat shoe a foundational part of her street style.

To be aware of how Lawrence dresses, which is in turn a result of her creative collaboration with celebrity stylist Jamie Mizrahi, is to know her favouritism for eccentric pairings. And with an audacious and hilarious personality to match—though at times can come across as down-to-earth, albeit self-deprecating—it should come as no surprise that a shoe choice as maligned as trainers should become the most-used pieces in her closet.

Because who else could wear a Leset button-down with satin trousers and Issey Miyake slip-on trainers that look like surgical shoe covers and make it look chic? Or have us all lusting over a pair of Old Skool Vans that your teenage skater boyfriend would’ve worn to death after teaming them with a Saville Row-inspired Oxford blue shirt and Alaïa jeans?

In that way, Lawrence’s belief in high-low dressing with an artistic flair has made her a muse to us all. Her outfits are easily replicated, rooted in a sense of mundane practicality and often feature an appearance from the latest covetable trainer, like Loewe’s ballet runner or the Puma Speedcats.

And in a way, isn’t this approachable elegance something we all want to achieve? She might be appointing new trainer trends to take note of as she goes, but with a laidback approach to luxury, a glint of something subversive and a free spirit that ties it all together, there’s never been a better excuse to embrace a pair of hard-working trainers.

Below, uncover the 5 trainer trends Jennifer Lawrence is embracing in 2026 and beyond.

5 Trainer Trends Jennifer Lawrence Is Backing in 2026

1. Sports Team

Style Notes: With method dressing—the act of referencing the character or film you’ve starred in through the things you wear on the red carpet—becoming Hollywood’s raison d'être, it’s not surprising to see this technique crop up elsewhere. Here, Lawrence embraced the merits of team sports by showing up in a viral pair of Puma Speedcats to watch a World Series baseball game between the L.A. Dodgers and New York Yankees. Her trainers first appeared trackside at a Formula 1 race in 1999, so it’s only fitting that she channels her inner athlete through her footwear choices. As Frank Sinatra said, take me out to the ball game.

Shop the Trend:

2. Slim Fit

Style Notes: Ask anyone who works in fashion, and they’ll tell you that a shortcut to putting together a considered look is to perfect your proportions. This is something that Lawrence knows all too well. Often sporting generously sized pieces like wide-leg tailored trousers, crisp crew-neck t-shirts—if even emblazoned with her favourite track from The Beatles’ Magical Mystery Tour as seen here—and slouchy knitwear in vibrant colourways, the Die My Love actor will always complement these oversized shapes with slim-fit trainers. Lately, it appears she’s preferring the Adidas Tokyo, which were originally introduced in 1964 for the Tokyo Olympics as a track-and-field shoe and feature a scant gum sole.

Shop the Trend:

3. Mary Jane Hybrids

Style Notes: Lawrence’s street style is to serve as a balance in contrasts. If anything ever veers too polished or too slouchy, she’ll rein it back in with an accessory that offsets the look completely. Take her biting her thumb at the Cannes Film Festival dress code by wearing flip-flops with her Dior Couture gown or, as pictured here, Wales Bonner Mary Jane trainers with her Deiji Studios sheer top and Khaite sunglasses.

4. Dad Sneaker Redux

Style Notes: Given that Lawrence has perfected that ‘borrowed from the boys’ silhouette with traditionally masculine staples a regular part of her sartorial arsenal, it should come as no surprise to see her endorsing the formerly disparaged dad sneaker. Adorned by middle-aged men who barbecue in the Midwest and new mothers in Manhattan alike, as it seems, this is a shoe that really hadn’t hit its stride since the late 2010s, but is now primed for a revival in 2026.

5. Gorpcore

Style Notes: They don’t call New York City the concrete jungle for nothing. Though gorpcore originated on the rocky trails seen further upstate in the Catskills, Lawrence makes a case for these technical trainers to fit into any wardrobe. (Even those who, like Carrie Bradshaw, say shopping is their cardio.) Here, she even brings the verdant landscape to us with her khaki-coloured studded Gimaguas bag and forest-hue The Row coat.

As a fashion editor, few people command my attention like Jennifer Lawrence. Having cultivated a uniform that fuses New York cool with her own distinctive sensibility, I pay attention to her looks every time. Typically, when she steps out, I expect chic tailoring or a perfectly slouched pair of jeans—but this time, she veered off-script, reviving a trouser trend I wouldn’t have anticipated.

Leaning into a softer, bohemian mood, Lawrence built her look around a pair of floaty floral trousers. Looser and more whimsical than her usual rotation, they leaned into the springtime ease of her New York surroundings. She grounded the trousers with The Row’s viral flip-flops, proving that she's still in step with the season's key trends

Pairing directional pieces with under-the-radar styling moves keeps Lawrence in her position as a modern style icon. Completing the look, she styled a chocolate-brown blouse with a baseball cap, an oversized suede tote and a scattering of delicate necklaces.

So at first glance, this shot of Jennifer Lawrence out for a walk in New York felt like all those that came before—until I lingered a little longer. Where I’d instinctively imagined her in the season’s go-to flip-flops, Lawrence had, instead, slipped into a far more divisive, and dare I say, "dated" shoe trend.

Sidestepping the ubiquitous flip-flops and burgeoning ballet flats, she grounded her look with a black-and-white pair of Adidas slides. Once the fashion crowd’s default summer staple, slide sandals have gradually been edged out in favour of sleeker, more refined silhouettes. And yet, rather than feeling out of step, Lawrence folded them into a streamlined, modern outfit, reframing the “dated” shoe as something so much chicer.

Assembling a sleek ensemble, a crisp white T-shirt formed the base, layered with DISSH's Monica Satin Trousers (£145) and beneath a longline jacket, while a suede, studded Gimaguas bag (£240) added a point of interest.

By keeping the rest of her look so polished, Lawrence made the "dated" shoe feel relevant all over again. Consider this your cue to give the forgotten sandals a second chance and read on to discover the chicest slides available to shop now.

The coolest jeans you can wear right now? Well, who am I to argue with Alexa Chung and Jennifer Lawrence? Both swapping the slouchy leggings that are doing the rounds this season for a sharper pair of on-trend denim, I spotted Alexa and JLaw step out in matching straight-leg jeans this week.

Putting a springtime spin on their mid-wash jeans, Alexa swapped the chunkier boots she's been wearing throughout the winter months for something no less smart, but significantly lighter. Slipping into a pair of polished leather loafers in an inky shade of black, Alexa wove a polished, pull-together element into her weekend look. Layering from there, Alexa slipped into a waisted leather jacket, tapping into another spring trend set to soar this month.

Meanwhile, Jennifer Lawrence wore her pair a little lower on the hips, as her jeans skimmed the leg for a relaxed shape. Veering casual with her styling, she wore her jeans with white and red Adidas Tokyo trainers. Echoing the accent on the shoes, a cosy red cardigan brought warmth and vibrancy into her otherwise laid-back look, keeping things feeling relaxed but far from boring.

The chicest way to wear denim right now, straight-leg jeans are quickly becoming the most relevant denim silhouette of the season. If you’re ready to follow suit, scroll on to discover the chicest straight-leg jeans to shop and wear now.

It’s a throwaway line so severe that it’s been seared in our collective memories, but from the moment Miranda Priestly admonished one of her editorial staff for suggesting covering florals for spring, it’s almost felt like we’ve second-guessed wearing them. Trite? Perhaps. But apt for a season that’s perennially in bloom? Completely.

This season, however, fashion’s most tasteful are rebelling against this authoritative decree and proving that, despite all the pretences and cliches, wearing botanicals during this time of year is genuinely groundbreaking. Of course, there are some brands like the nostalgic-laden designs of Doên and endlessly sun-seeking silhouettes of Faithfull The Brand, who have always known this. In turn, their perennial use of floral prints has made them synonymous with this period, let alone lucrative businesses that turn over millions of dollars in profit. Wearing florals for spring isn’t only appropriate, but for those in the know, an incredibly worthwhile move.

Luxury brands know this all too well, with the spring/summer 2026 season dominated by oversized petals, dusty peonies and ditsy baby's breath. At Dior, Jonathan Anderson paid homage to Monsieur Dior’s adoration for floristry—a passion that began growing up around his childhood gardens in Granville and has culminated in the house staging most collections in Paris’s Jardin des Tuileries—by rendering soft bouquets on bubble hemlines. Elsewhere, at Chloé, Chemna Kamali invoked the lurid essence of the eighties with a fluorescent colour palette and blown-up flowers that felt like something you would’ve seen worn on Tom Selleck on Magnum P.I.

On a popular cultural level, it seems that almost everyone is becoming a hobbyist horticulturist. From Harry Styles featuring a song titled “Coming Up Roses” on his fourth studio album, Kiss All The Time, Disco Occasionally, to Zendaya referencing Carrie Bradshaw’s and Whitney Houston’s iconic hibiscus rosette white dress from Cachè at the Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards, there’s never been a better time to have a green thumb.

Of course, wearing the motif can be as straightforward as throwing on a ditsy floral dress and calling it a day. However, those more astute will confirm that there are ways of wearing the style less predictably. From blossoms that take inspiration from the impressionist landscapes of Claude Monet to dimensional arrangements that prioritise artistry, these are the 5 key floral fashion trends that are sprouting for spring 2026.

5 Floral Fashion Trends That are Trending for Spring 2026

1. Watercolour Botanicals

Style Notes: André Leon Talley might’ve once quipped that fashion is not art—he said working in the industry was instead like being in the chiffon trenches, for the uninitiated—but this floral fashion is arguably worthy of a spot in the Musée d'Orsay.

With a muted, pastel colour palette that evokes the sensation of being made en plein air—which refers to a technique of painting outdoors to capture a sense of realism on the canvas—this is a style that favours blurry finishes, lighter touches and ethereal elegance.

Style Notes: If the act of pressing petals is one that resonates with you, then this floral fashion trend is bound to tug on your heart’s strings. Rather than simply screen printing the print onto the fabric, this trend features a tactile element that makes the flowers appear like they’ve been etched into the very material itself.

This sort of jacquard effect was recently seen on the ornate-furniture-inspired collection presented by Hodakova during Paris Fashion Week, during Margot Robbie’s Wuthering Heights press tour and, perhaps most notably, on Jessie Buckley when she took home the Golden Globe for Best Actress at the start of the year.

3. Stitched-On Blossoms

Style Notes: Another floral fashion trend that sits at the intersection of style and craft is chinoiserie. Emerging in the 17th-century as an applied art, the distinct floral landscape synonymous with this style is being embroidered onto everything from demi-couture fur-trimed coats by Conner Ives that are upcycled from antique textiles that date back to the Qing Dynasty to Jennifer Lawrence’s custom Givenchy dress designed by Sarah Burton.

4. Gothic Nightshades

Style Notes: Hauntingly beautiful and devastatingly gorgeous aren’t phrases that are typically synonymous with floral fashion trends, but if the rise of gothic romances and Victorian mourning wear has got you carried away, allow yourself to be swept up by the darkly captivating, moody nightshade trend. These aren’t your grandmother’s botanicals, but something far more morose, like the gothic lace dresses seen at McQueen and the Edgar Allan Poe-approved styles at Prada.

5. Lurid Blooms

Style Notes: They might’ve been the brainchild of the flower generation, but garish and brightly-coloured flowers were all over the runway, from Chloe’s vivid ranunculus dresses that were stylised in a Warholian colour scheme to Zimmermann’s blurry patterns, which feel as if the flowers were caught in a hypersonic freeze-frame. All you need is a swipe of M.A.C.’s Candy Yum Yum, the voice of Randy Newman blasting through your headphones and you’re set.

Unless you spent last summer under a rock, you’ll remember the impression that the butter yellow colour trend made on the season. Soft, saccharine washes of pale lemon flooded new-in sections, coating everything from slip dresses to It-bags in a pastel glow. It was, without question, the chicest shade in circulation.

But such was its ubiquity that, as we’ve moved into a new year, butter yellow has risked feeling a little… expected. The good news? With the right styling, this once-sweet shade can feel entirely fresh again. And, as ever, the industry’s most reliable dressers are already showing us how.

Stepping out into a brisk New York afternoon, Jennifer Lawrence chose a generously cut, belted coat from The Row in the dreamiest pastel yellow. Instead of keeping things strictly tonal, she introduced a whisper of pale blue at the neck with a wrapped scarf, creating a subtle but elegant contrast. A trending fur hat added texture and a distinctly 2026 sensibility.

Across the Atlantic in London, Alexa Chung offered a different take. Styling Mirthdate’s Oxford shirt in a delicate buttercream hue, she wore it back-to-front—subverting predictable styling cues. Paired with the season's favourite knee-length skirt and pointed-toe heels in a rich chocolate brown, the look gained depth and sophistication. The darker accessories grounded the airy yellow, lending it a grown-up, city-ready polish.

The 2026 butter yellow colour trend is less about tonal saccharine sweetness and more about contrast and texture. If you invested in the shade last year, rest assured, it still has mileage. And if you’re tempted to reintroduce this enduring hue into your spring rotation, a few clever styling tweaks are all it takes to make it feel brand new.

If there’s one thing my years in fashion have taught me, it’s that no trend ever really disappears. Given enough time, even the most divisive styles find their way back.

Making my case, this week Jennifer Lawrence revived a dated boot trend I still didn't expect to see again so soon: Ugg’s long-line sheepskin boots. Whilst the Tasman silhouette crept back into fashion’s good graces a few years ago, its taller sister style, the Classic Tall Boot (£185), has remained conspicuously under the radar, until now.

Bringing the calf-grazing boots back into the conversation, Lawrence styled them with a confident flash of colour, pairing the cosy footwear with red trousers. From there, she leaned into playful layering: a sunshine-yellow crossbody bag slung over her shoulder and a fuzzy leopard-print hat topped her hair.

With a scooter in her clutches and cocooned in practical layers, Lawrence felt practical yet thoughtfully styled. Anyone braving a New York winter will attest that Ugg boots aren’t just a comfort choice right now—they’re a necessity. And with cold temperatures showing no signs of easing, Lawrence’s longer-line boots might just be the smartest styling move of the season.

Paris Haute Couture Week is in full swing, and the already elegant city is now totally saturated with chic styling. Calling in the coolest from across the globe, this rarefied moment in the fashion calendar is among the very best for street style spotting, and naturally, the crowd has not disappointed.

Taking her front-row seat at the Christian Dior Spring/Summer 2026 Haute Couture show yesterday, Jennifer Lawrence stepped out in a denim-and-shoe combination that’s been on my mind ever since.

Whilst stove pipe jeans have dominated style circles in recent weeks, Jennifer took a decidedly cooler approach to front-row dressing, opting instead for a floor-sweeping pair of puddle jeans. Cascading all the way down to the tiling, her denim concealed most of her footwear, save for the sleek, pointed toe peeking out beneath the hem. The sharp silhouette offered a striking contrast to the slouchy, relaxed nature of the jeans, bringing structure and polish to the look without feeling forced or out of place.

A callback to the shoe trend that defined the ’90s, pointed-toe styles have been gently usurped by softer almond and chisel-toe silhouettes. Still, there’s no denying the poise a sharply pointed shoe delivers—it’s a level of sharpness that few other shapes can quite replicate.

Echoing the clean lines of her footwear, Jennifer completed the look with a neatly tailored black coat. Dramatic fur detailing spilt from the cuffs, while a sleek leather bag swung from her grasp, adding an element of glamour to the otherwise pared-back denim ensemble.

For the past few years, Jennifer Lawrence has held her position as one of the fashion industry’s most referenced street-style stars. Consistently stepping out in chic silhouettes infused with her own distinctive styling flair, every outing feels like a fresh addition to my mood board.

After following her style evolution so closely, I’ve noticed one key detail that sets her apart from the rest of us: Jennifer relies far less on jeans. Instead, she repeatedly turns to trousers, experimenting with a variety of cuts, colours and styles throughout the week.

Keen to give my jeans a well-deserved break, I’ve been looking to Jennifer to pinpoint exactly which trouser trends she leans on. After digging through the archives, three key styles kept resurfacing—each forming the foundation of her best off-duty looks. Read on to discover the chic trouser trends Jennifer Lawrence consistently returns to.

Discover Jennifer Lawrence's Favourite Trouser Trends

1. Red Trousers

Style Notes: The pop-of-red colour trend shows no signs of slowing down, and Jennifer Lawrence proves that one of the chicest ways to wear the shade is via a pair of red trousers. A playful alternative to denim, the bold hue does all the heavy lifting—making an outfit feel intentional and chic, with minimal effort required.

2. Cigarette Trousers

Style Notes: While much of the fashion set is currently championing cigarette jeans, Jennifer Lawrence reminds us that their more polished older sister—cigarette trousers—has always been a stylish choice. Opting for a deep navy pair, she styles hers with pointed-toe pumps, creating an elegant ensemble that feels like the perfect sophisticated alternative to denim.

3. Track Pants

Style Notes: One of my favourite developments of recent seasons is how firmly track pants have cemented themselves within the fashion crowd’s everyday wardrobes. Jennifer’s beige marl pair feels particularly elevated, smartened up with the addition of a plush faux-fur coat. The result is a considered, high-low outfit I’d happily recreate on repeat.

I don’t know what this says about me, but stumbling upon a new Jennifer Lawrence outfit photo genuinely feels like receiving a small gift. Honestly, every appearance sparks inspiration, and more often than not, my favourite of her looks somehow find their way into my wardrobe not long after.

This week delivered one such moment. While scrolling, I spotted Jennifer wearing a three-piece winter outfit I’ve been clocking on Londoners and Parisians all season. Gliding through her New York neighbourhood on a bike, she started with a pair of wide-leg jeans, of which she styled with a rounded-toe boot by The Row. The softer shape grounded the outfit, giving it that lived-in, considered feel that the best off-duty looks always have.

And then, my favourite part: the leopard-print jacket. Adding colour, texture and visual interest in one easy layer, this piece pulled the entire outfit together in an instant.

Reminding me of several outfits I saved at the very start of the season. Jennifer’s pared-back three-piece ensemble mirrors the uniform I’ve been spotting repeatedly on the streets of Paris and London over the past few months: jeans, practical boots and a leopard-print layer that makes the whole look sing.

As for the print itself, leopard remains the fashion set’s most dependable motif. While zebra and fawn prints have certainly had their moment this winter, leopard’s timeless appeal ensures it will always hold a secure place in my daily rotation.

Uncomplicated, chic and endlessly wearable, this is exactly the kind of outfit I’ll be emulating in the coming weeks. If you’re feeling the same, read on to shop Jennifer's look as well as discover and shop the chicest leopard-print jackets, straight-leg jeans and rounded-toe boots below.

The 83rd annual Golden Globes are kicking off this evening. The show is being presented tonight at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, and Nikki Glaser will host an audience of A-listers who are set to attend. Among them are nominees Timothée Chalamet, Jacob Elordi, Hailee Steinfeld, Julia Roberts, George Clooney, Leonardo DiCaprio, Emma Stone, Selena Gomez, and Ayo Edebiri. There are also highly anticipated performances throughout the evening by stars such as Charli XCX and Lisa.

Before the award ceremony begins, though, we've had our eyes on the red carpet as celebrities arrive for the night's festivities. One of the most talked-about looks of the evening will no doubt be Jennifer Lawrence in a custom Givenchy sheer floral gown by Sarah Burton, styled by Ryan Hastings. The look recalls another custom Givenchy gown that Beyoncé wore in 2015 at the Met Gala, but time will tell if this was a reference for the star's award-show outfit. Ahead, see the look Jennifer Lawrence—nominated for Best Actress for her role in Die My Love—wore on the red carpet for the 2026 Golden Globe Awards.

I’ve worked in fashion for nearly a decade now, so I’m well acquainted with the ebb and flow of trends, and I honestly believed that there was very little that could truly shock me anymore, but I was mistaken. No, I wasn't taken aback by an impractical runway look or a long-forgotten silhouette—instead, it’s a divisive colour trend that's completely caught me off guard.

Proof to always leave room for the odd surprise, this week, Jennifer Lawrence and Zoë Kravitz signalled a shift away from the ubiquitous red accessory, opting instead for something far more surprising: purple scarves.

Zoë Kravitz styled hers slung around her neck, layered over a dark khaki trench coat, whilst Jennifer Lawrence followed suit, weaving the same rich purple tone into her off-duty ensemble—pairing it with a puffer jacket, grey wide-leg trousers and Uggs.

Long dismissed as fashion’s least-loved colour, purple has historically been one many steer clear of. Perhaps it’s the weight of its associations: royal purple school uniforms endured throughout childhood, the unmistakable Cadbury’s branding, or its enduring links to Queen Elizabeth II. Whatever the reason, it’s a hue that has rarely felt fresh.

But if these celebrity sightings are anything to go by, purple may well be on the cusp of becoming the season’s most unlikely breakout shade. And if your interest is piqued as much as mine, read on to discover and shop the best purple scarves to recreate Zoë and Jennifer’s looks below.

If your New Year’s resolutions included elevating your everyday style, allow me to share the chic footwear swap I just spotted Jennifer Lawrence endorsing.

Making a considered styling switch, Lawrence stepped away from your average ankle boots and flats, instead pairing her sleek navy cigarette trousers with a shoe trend that refreshed the timeless trouser. Sidestepping predictable pairs, she opted for a tall black heel finished with a subtle asymmetric cut-out.

The little flash of skin created by the cut-out design brought a sense of lightness to her look, stopping her tailored trousers and black wool coat from feeling overly formal or serious—a clever styling move that adds interest without detracting from the clean silhouette.

As cigarette trousers (and cigarette jeans) continue to gain traction this season, I’ve been on the lookout for elegant shoe pairings that make this streamlined shape feel modern and wearable. Jennifer’s under-the-radar heels might just be my favourite take yet. Polished but not predictable, it feels in step with the looks I'm channelling for back-to-office January dressing

In fashion, reputation is everything. So, when a brand is preceded by an array of celebrity endorsements from the industry’s most prolific tastemakers, it’s going to pique my interest. Agolde is a California-based denim brand that has practically become the, well, gold standard for high-quality jeans. Despite its commitments to sustainable practices and contemporary silhouettes, the label has garnered mainstream attention instead for the starry clientele that endorses its designs.

It’s true, you’ll find Agolde jeans immortalised on the album cover of Taylor Swift’s 2023 re-recording 1989 (Taylor's Version), cemented in Hailey Bieber’s sensually oversized off-duty wardrobe and even stamped into pop culture iconography after Rihanna made the jeans a crucial part of her maternity wardrobe whilst pregnant with her firstborn. (Remember the trousers she wore with that Loewe rugby jumper and Louis Vuitton purse? They were Agolde.)

Originally founded in the ‘90s, Agolde relaunched onto the market in the late 2010s during a time when street style and ‘normcore’ had never been more prominent. As a result, Agolde’s commitment to create jeans that not only looked exceptional on, but also felt exceptional when wearing, struck a chord with those who held cultural cachet through what they wore.

Remember, this was a time when wearing a simple leather jacket with a pair of chunky black ankle boots, a choker and a top knot was considered the acme of style. So, a brand promising to deliver jeans that were good for the planet, were incredibly polished and were size inclusive, was bound to accumulate a cult following.

And that it has, with actors like Dakota Johnson and Jennifer Lawrence waxing lyrical in interviews about their love for the brand’s jeans, to supermodels including Emily Ratajkowski and Kaia Gerber organically supporting through their paparazzi-captured outfits. But like anything coming out of tinseltown, it’s easy to get spellbound by these alluring appraisals. As a fashion writer who has made a career out of shopping, I’ve found that name and prestige alone can’t make something a success; it has to come down to the product it delivers. And while it’s safe to say these A-list adherents are indicative of a well-made and worthy pair of jeans, sometimes it comes down to taking matters into your own hands and reviewing the brand yourself.

But after testing the jeans myself over a series of weeks, I can easily see why these public figures are so enamoured with the brand. After all, these are people with access to the upper echelons of the industry and intimate with luxury brands I can only dream about owning. In the case of Agolde, however, these are jeans that certainly warrant the investment, as I quickly discovered. Without further ado, scroll on below for my honest review of the brand every It girl is wearing and a breakdown of the best Agolde jeans.

The 5 Best Agolde Jeans, As Tested by a Fashion Editor

1. Agolde Harper Straight Jean

Style Notes: As someone who counts Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy as the ultimate jeans muse, it should come as no surprise to see me gravitate towards a classic cigarette-style straight-leg pair. The Harper is a relaxed style that still boasts enough stiffness to feel polished and premium through the leg. (Because there is nothing worse than ruching through the knee or too much gathering around the ankle.) Despite being a little long for my tastes, and specifically, my stature, I didn’t find them disproportionate around the hip. As a true mid-rise, I wish they sat slightly higher around my waist than they do, but I didn’t find them to cause any unflattering bulging. What I loved most, however, was just how comfortable they felt. A true second-skin finish, the material was incredibly soft and breathable, which is perfect for a city dweller like myself who is always on the move about town. If you're looking to invest in a pair of luxury jeans, this is the style I'd recommend.

2. Agolde 90's Pinch Waist High Rise Straight Long

Style Notes: The ‘90s Pinch Jeans are one of Agolde’s best-selling styles. Inspired by the decade in which the brand was founded, the shape takes cues from the cuts that were prominent at the time. Think: Bum-tight, taut around the ankle, cropped at the leg and as straight as a razor. After being recommended this pair by my chic colleague and Who What Wear UK’s resident jean expert, Shopping Editor Florrie Alexander, I knew that they were bound to meet the hype. Whilst they weren’t as comfortable as the Harper, they did feel really lived-in, almost like I found them in a curated archival boutique. Off the bat, I do have to say that this style will really only work for those who enjoy their jeans fitted quite close to the body. As the name suggests, the style is characterised by a signature “pinched” effect at the waist. The effect is quite sculptural and sleek, but for those who don’t enjoy the hem of their jeans prodding into their tummy, I will say that this won’t be the size for you. I did find myself wishing for a size up, which ultimately is a risk you have to take when shopping online. However, the way they lifted my bum and smoothed my legs is something I can’t fault.

3. Agolde Low Rise Loose in Pure

Style Notes: Now, I’m not typically a wide-leg jeans or low-rise jeans person, but there’s just something about this style that was so hard to put down. For days when I wanted to slip into something more casual yet still considered, this is the pair I found myself returning to. Perfect for a pint on Saturday afternoon or a more ritzy evening dinner at one of London’s hottest small plates restaurants, this pair suited it all in spades. What I loved most was how languid they were, and yet never slouchy. On the contrary, they were hardly rigid to the touch, but still comprised that buttery feeling that Agolde has come to be known for. What let them down was the fact that the fabric lacked very little stretch, which felt hard to break in at first because the firmer material had me walking around like Bambi taking his first steps. Once the jeans gave out to my measurements, I did find myself not wanting to take them off, which is the ultimate testament one could give a pair of jeans.

4. Agolde Arc Jean

Style Notes: Despite the styling on Agolde’s website hinting this style leans towards a more ‘00s attitude, from the moment I put them on, I found myself channelling a different era entirely. If you can’t tell from my perfect white t-shirt (Leset) or basket bag (M&S), these curved and cropped jeans reminded me of the late fashion starlet, Jane Birkin and the ease and hedonism of the ‘60s. The perfect wash of blue, this shade reminded me of a spring morning in Paris or a summer’s evening in Saint Tropez; bright, golden and optimistic. Of the latter, petite women will rejoice in the fact that these trousers are actually cropped, meaning you’ll save a trip to the tailor or the inevitable bugbear of constantly folding and cuffing your hem. The slight roundness through the leg also offers a nice silhouette that offsets fitting tops and balances out boxy jackets, like leather bombers. (Though you’d never catch the Hermés muse in one of those, she’s more of a blazer girl.) The truncated leg length did take some time getting used to, as it’s rare to find the base of my leg exposed when wearing jeans. Nevertheless, I overcame this by leaning into the styling tropes displayed on Michael Ryder’s debut runway as creative director for Celine in the brand’s Spring 2026 runway by teaming them with heeled boots, an oversized coat and a silk scarf that I wrapped around my neck.

5. Agolde Luna High Rise Pieced Taper

Style Notes: Despite never owning a pair of barrel-leg jeans in my life, I was finally made a convert thanks to the Luna style. Slightly bulbous around the mid-part of the leg, I found the shape more of a cowboy-esque horseshoe shape than a true barrel-leg. But semantics aside, I really did enjoy the way this pair gave my body some dimension. With quite a dramatic and sweeping curve, I did find that they looked quite cartoonish online, but really softened when padded out by my thigh. This is the exact sort of thing any well-edited wardrobe would feature as it really does the legwork in elevating basics like black turtlenecks and leather loafers. Once wearing them, I found myself wanting to emulate Audrey Hepburn by tying my hair into a high ponytail and finishing with a ribbon to sweep everything back off my face and letting the silhouette shine.

What to Look Out for When Buying Agolde Jeans?

After reviewing what felt like Agolde's entire catalogue, I noticed a few crucial points to consider when shopping the brand. The main point, which is always the chief concern when buying jeans, is sizing. As someone with a very standard size UK 10 frame, I always find myself opting for a 27-inch waist when wearing denim. Typically, these dimensions will always fit. However, in some specific Agolde cuts, I found them to barely go over my bum.

For instance, the slim-line Cocktail jeans, which are a skinny style designed for occasions where you want to look more considered or dressed up, could hardly move an inch over my waist and didn't even do up, despite me taking my regular size. The style I was most looking forward to wearing, the quasi-Lynchian blue velvet straight-leg style, didn't have any leeway, meaning it was a battle even to slip into them, let alone wear them out and about. Given the fact that Agolde doesn't have any brick-and-mortar stores in the UK, with the only retail presence in London's iconic Selfridges department store, this is a challenge for those who fluctuate between sizes or are armed with the knowledge that they'll have to size up in certain styles.

How We Tested

These Agolde jeans were rigorously tested by Who What Wear UK's SEO writer, Ava Gilchrist, to determine which styles were the best the brand had to offer. After trailing thousands of jeans over the course of her career, she already knew the qualities that made up an incredible pair: comfort, stiffness, softness, quality, comfort and price point. With these factors in mind, she wore a series of Agolde jeans over the course of a few weeks to rank and review them in a variety of different settings, including the office, a cocktail bar, brunch, movie theatre and pub dinner. Weighing them against one another, she determined the best jeans based on silhouette, cut and quality. (Albeit, for the price point, all the jeans are certifiably quality!)

When a new shot of Jennifer Lawrence lands, I rarely assume I’ll be adding her exact outfit to my basket. With her well-documented love of The Row and Dior, our wardrobes tend to sit on far ends of the budget spectrum. Today, however, was a welcome exception.

Stepping out in an ensemble that undoubtedly totalled a hefty price tag, Lawrence grounded her look with a surprisingly down-to-earth shoe. Soft and textural with a fuzzy felt finish and classic gum sole, her choice was worlds away from the polished party heels she’s favoured throughout events season.

A brief Google rabbit hole later, I’d tracked them down: a felted mule clog by British brand Haflinger. Known for crafting outdoor-friendly footwear from natural fibres, the brand’s offerings come in under £120—and, delightfully, are available on Amazon.

Whilst Jennifer often channels an honorary Olsen with her minimalist styling, this isn’t the first time she’s slipped into a humbler shoe. Already an early adopter of the rubberised garden-shoe revival, her earthy, unfussy approach to off-duty footwear continues to surprise (and charm) me.

As someone who logs an inevitable high step count living in the city, a comfortable, durable shoe is always welcome—and this pair ticks every box. Consider me officially inspired to follow Jennifer’s lead. If you’re tempted too, read on to discover and shop the best felted clogs on the market right now.

If working in fashion has taught me anything, it’s that no shoe is too ugly to be chic. From tabi flats to loafer-trainers, jelly sandals to toe-separating styles, there’s always a corner of the style world ready to embrace the unconventional. The latest devising pair to steal the scene? The garden clog.

Riffing on the clog trend that made Birkenstock’s Boston a wardrobe essential, this latest iteration takes inspiration from a far less glamorous source—the humble gardening shoe. Once reserved for pottering around the patio, the rubbery, practical slip-on is showing all the signs of becoming fashion's new favourite, including scoring a place in the wardrobe rotation of one of fashion's most prolific trend setters.

Stepping out in New York on Monday night, Jennifer Lawrence styled a dark pair of slip-on clogs with a pair of trousers cuffed just-so and a bright red jumper. Assembling an off-duty outfit steeped in her signature relaxed ease, Jennifer finished her look with a spattering of jewellery, including an anklet that peeked out between the cuffed trousers and the low-profile shoe.

For anyone raised in the British countryside, the silhouette will feel comfortingly familiar—these are the same shoes that have long framed back doors and garden sheds. But now, they’re cropping up in the wardrobes of the world’s most stylish city dwellers as a practical (and surprisingly chic) option for navigating the season’s soggy, leaf-strewn streets.

And while Jennifer may be an early adopter, it’s safe to say this low-key slip-on is poised for a big season. Whether paired with relaxed denim or soft corduroy trousers, garden clogs lend an easy, relaxed touch that feels perfectly attuned to winter’s slower pace.

There’s truly no business like show business, and Hollywood’s best and brightest never miss an opportunity to take their turn as a leading lady whenever they’re in front of a camera—both on and off screen.

This was true for both Kendall Jenner and Jennifer Lawrence this week. Whilst in New York, the stars brought a touch of the dramatics to their respective off-duty wardrobes by wearing outfits inspired by the wistful and sensible costumes of a ‘90s romcom.

The supermodel turned mogul and Academy Award-winning actress share a taste in street style, given their similar repertoire of designer brands. However, these back-to-back looks were a slight departure from their established quiet-luxury uniforms, with their ensembles emulating something worn by Meg Ryan in You Got Mail or Renée Zellweger in Bridget Jones Diary. Because you can’t wear a boxy coat, cute little knitted hat and a useless, silly scarf during a crisp Manhattan morning and not expect to be compared to a character from this, our personal golden age of cinema.

Jennifer Lawrence—who is currently on a press tour promoting a film that couldn’t be further from this genre, Lynn Ramsay’s psychological thriller Die My Love—first wore this look for a stroll through Greenwich Village.

For the occasion, the star wore a double-breasted black wool coat from Scandinavian knitwear brand Almada Label, a studded suede bag from Barcelona-based cool-girl label Gimagaus, a Loro Piana cashmere hat and on-trend leather sock boots from Le Monde Beryl.

For her part, Kendall Jenner eschewed her typical casually elegant West Coast aesthetic for something far more fitting for a West Village jaunt with her best friend, Hailey Bieber.

She donned a head-to-toe look from The Row, including a cropped, collarless jacket with hidden hook-and-eye closures, straight-leg blue jeans, leather slippers, a cobalt blue scarf and a cotton-and-wool-blend hat.

If these looks are testament to anything, it’s that the dishevelled aesthetic of the “frazzled English woman” is well gone. In its place? The polished, albeit homely look of a fictional Upper East Side local falling head over heels with the love of her life. (Or at least, for 120 minutes on screen.) Given this time of year, I can’t think of anything more apt than channelling your Julia Roberts in Stepmom.

Truthfully, I might’ve even been slightly premature in adopting this trend, given the fact I wore a really lovely fisherman cap from Australian resortwear brand Asta Resort throughout August in London. (Unfortunately, I was grilled by a gruff pub owner about the questionability of the look after he mistook me for an Oasis-concert goer—not quite the quaint romantic look I was striving for.)

Still, I’m not alone, with tastemakers like Who What Wear US’s editor-in-residence and stylist Coco Schiffer, Norwegian influencer Annabel Rosendahl and content creator Makenna Alyse McReynolds all wearing an almost identical iteration of this look.

I’ve spent the past few months on a mission to find the perfect leather jacket. With funnel-neck, bomber, and chocolate-brown styles all vying for a place in my wardrobe, it’s been no easy task. I’ve forced myself to take a considered approach—after all, leather is one of those hardy fabrics that can last you a very long time, which makes finding a timeless style all the more important.

In my search, I’ve been paying attention to the pieces tempting my most stylish colleagues, and one buttery soft style from Róhe keeps cropping up in conversation. Featuring toggle fastenings and a long-line cut that skims the hips, it feels both wearable and elevated. It’s not hard to see why it’s captured my team’s attention.

Already intrigued, I then spotted Jennifer Lawrence wearing the very same silhouette this week. Blending the endorsement of my chicest colleagues with the approval of one of Hollywood’s most stylish women felt like all the confirmation I needed.

Cut to a slim-breasted width, Róhe’s jacket feels sleeker and more refined than the boxy bomber or biker styles dominating the market right now. While those silhouettes carry an cool energy, this one offers something different—less biker, more beautiful, it embodies that sleek mix of polish and ease.

Lawrence styled hers simply, pairing the jacket with dark-wash jeans and a crisp white tee, crafting an outfit that felt in tune with her pared-back, confident aesthetic.

If you’ve spent any time with me, you’ll know one thing for sure: I’m a boots person through and through. Come summer, autumn, winter or spring, you’ll rarely catch me in anything else (save perhaps for the year's very hottest days). There’s just something supremely chic about a great pair of boots. Over the years, I’ve become something of a connoisseur—honing a few foolproof outfit formulas that always bring out the best in my favourite pairs. Naturally, jeans play a starring role in all of them. And now, as we edge into the cooler months, my go-to boot-and-denim combo is ready to come into its own.

While different boot and jean styles drift in and out of my rotation, one pairing remains a constant: rounded-toe boots and straight-leg jeans. This week, Jennifer Lawrence reminded me exactly why I’ve always loved this timeless duo when she stepped out wearing the very combination I swear by.

Polished but practical, Jennifer styled her straight-leg, mid-rise jeans with The Row’s Billie Leather Ankle Boots (£512), a (sadly sold-out) Lemaire Leather Bomber Jacket, an Hermès Leather Bag, dark sunglasses and an oversized grey scarf.

Free from sharp lines or overstatement, straight-leg jeans and rounded-toe flat boots are an enduringly wearable combination that won't falter when the trends start to turn. Jennifer’s bomber-and-scarf look has definitely sparked my styling inspiration for the week, but as the temperatures drop further, I’ll be swapping in a longline wool coat or sweeping trench for an equally refined finish.

While pointed-toe or heeled boots can sometimes feel too fussy or impractical for day-to-day wear, rounded-toe flats always hit the perfect note. Similarly, though I've been tempted by the baggy jeans and flared pairs that fashion people have been leaning on this season, it's straight-leg styles and their consistent wearability that I'll undoubtedly come back to year after year.

Ever inspired by Jennifer’s style, I’ve rounded up her look, as well as my edit of the best rounded-toe flat boots to shop now.

If you took a peek into my wardrobe, it wouldn’t take long to realise that when it comes to styling, I’m a creature of habit. Sure, I appreciate new-season drops and impactful silhouettes, but I like to keep my own rotation pared back, sleek, and—most importantly—comfortable. That’s why you might notice a light layer of dust settling on the shoes in my collection that don’t quite deliver on that front.

Still, my love of style and fashion persists, which means I’m always on the lookout for a new-season shoe that offers a fresh wardrobe update and the comfort I crave—something that can carry me across the city while keeping me feeling confident and composed. So, when I spotted that both Jennifer Lawrence and Kendall Jenner had co-signed a new-season shoe trend that ticks all those boxes, I knew I was onto something special.

Tucked away in an Instagram carousel of Fashion Week looks, Kendall quietly backed what I think might come to be the shoe trend of the season. Not a heel, nor a boot, nor even last season’s trending Mary Janes—this time, Jenner emerged in a rounded-toe flat crafted from glossy leather.

What stood out most was the glove-like construction of the shoe. Instead of a stiff, structured shape, the soft leather closely hugged her foot, creating a form-fitting silhouette that felt distinctly fashion-forward. Peeking subtly from beneath her flowing black trousers, the rounded-toe flats looked relaxed yet intentional—the cool-girl alternative to the pointed-toe styles that have dominated recent seasons.

As if I wasn’t already convinced by the chic silhouette, I then spotted Jennifer wearing the very same shape. Styling her pair of black rounded-toe flats with relaxed jeans, her look felt considered but not overstyled—something Lawrence always manages to master.

Right now, it’s a little too warm for boots but certainly too chilly for delicate ballet flats, which makes this higher-coverage in-between style feel like the perfect solution for this time of year. Aptly inspired, I’ve curated an edit of the best rounded-toe leather flats to shop this season. Read on to discover my picks.

When it comes to spotting the styling tricks that really matter, I tend to look less to the runways and more to the celebrities whose outfits consistently resonate. And funnily enough, two of my biggest style muses happen to share the same first name: Jennifer Aniston and Jennifer Lawrence. Whether by coincidence or fate, both Jennifers consistently achieve the kind of effortless looks that shape the way I get dressed.

My own style leans minimal with a ’90s undercurrent, so it’s no surprise that Aniston’s Friends-era wardrobe often informs my day-to-day outfits. But when I want to push that aesthetic into 2025, Lawrence is the Jennifer I turn to. So when I spotted a recent look from her that instantly reminded me of vintage Aniston, I knew I’d found a styling trick worth noting.

This week, Lawrence was photographed in relaxed, low-rise jeans sitting casually on her hips, finished with a sleek black leather belt. It’s not a groundbreaking move, but it did feel striking—largely because belts have quietly disappeared from denim outfits in recent decades. While fashion insiders have been pairing jeans with bare waistbands, Aniston was once devoted to the belt, wearing it as her signature finishing touch throughout the ’90s.

A clean leather belt adds polish, structure and a sense of intention to even the most pared-back jeans-and-tee look. It’s a subtle styling tweak that instantly lifts an outfit, and it's also something I spotted over and over again among the street style set at New York Fashion Week this September.

Best of all, this is a trend that costs nothing extra. Most of us already own a belt or two, and looping one through your jeans delivers a Jennifer-approved outfit formula that’s stood the test of time. Pair it with your favourite tee or crisp shirt, and you’ve got a look that works as well in 2025 as it did in the ’90s.

I don’t make the rules, but I am happy to follow them, especially when it's Jennifer Lawrence setting the tone. And this week, the actor laid down the law: sandal season is officially over.

Instead of reaching for an open-toe shoe to pair with her swishy midi skirt, she subbed them out for a sleek pair of ballet flats in an easy swap that closed the door on open-toe days. Just a few weeks ago, strappy sandals would have been the obvious choice with such a skirt. But with rain in the air and pavements starting to scatter with leaves, stepping out in sandals feels inherently wrong. Luckily, Lawrence’s well-timed look proves that simple ballet flats are just as chic with midi skirts as the sandals that came before them.

Elevating her outfit, the actor layered a dark black single-breasted jacket over her ensemble. With a neat lapel and a sleek button-up design, Lawrence's jacket trend was refined and lengthening—offering a fresh alternative to the samey blazers that have stuck around for so long. Underneath, she styled a boxy T-shirt left casually untucked—a Gen Z-approved trick that added a dose of nonchalance.

Accessories were equally well-judged. A colourful pendant necklace, monogrammed Dior handbag and black sunglasses brought polish, while tousled waves framed her face for that undone finish Lawrence does so well.

Inspired by Lawrence’s look, I’ll be keeping my midi skirts firmly in rotation this season—swapping my sandals for chic ballet flats instead. Read on to shop the best midi skirts and flats to re-create the look.

If you’ve spent the past few days dashing around the city, you’ll know the humidity has been unforgiving. Getting dressed in the morning has evolved into a mission to stay cool for as long as possible. Right now, anything skin-hugging is out of the question. But all is not lost; Jennifer Lawrence brought me a new styling formula that doesn't compromise on chic, even when the air feels thick enough to swim through.

She started with the basics—as all the best late-summer outfits do—opting for an oversized graphic tee as the foundation. Cool, breathable and easy, Lawrence's outfit was off to a wearable start. Now, whilst it would have been easy to lean into comfort and reach for comfortable leggings or slouchy jeans, instead, Lawrence completed her look with an elegant lace-trim slip skirt.

It’s not the first combination that springs to mind when you think “oversized T-shirt,” but it might just be the smartest. The fluid, swishy fabric of a slip skirt grazes the body rather than clings, making it more forgiving in high heat. Comfort-wise, it’s up there with leggings, but the payoff in polish is worlds apart. The lace trim added a feminine touch that instantly elevated the casual tee whilst nodding to one of the season's most favoured motifs.

White dresses are elegant and all, but sometimes, they're a risk whenever coffee is around. They can also feel a bit expected. After all, the first recommendation people give when you ask about summer dresses is almost always white and made of linen or poplin. Everyone wears them this time of year, so if ubiquity isn't one of your style goals in 2025, you might want to look for an equally timeless but less "everywhere" colour to shop for in the dress department. My preference? Tan dresses.

Tan dresses are classic, sophisticated and neutral enough to pair with just about anything. You can play it safe with black accessories or add touches of fun with a red necklace or a navy pair of trainers. Gold and silver jewellery pairs well with the colour, and it comes in a variety of different silhouettes, from vest-like minis to fit-and-flare midis. I like to wear my tan dresses with flip-flops every time the temperatures rise, and apparently, I'm not the only one.

Jennifer Lawrence is also a fan of the tan dress, and just like me, she styles hers with easy, casual flip-flops. The actress was spotted in the West Village on Tuesday wearing The Row's Riah dress, a sleeveless, wool-blend, tailored dress with a high neck and a hem that hits just above the ankles. She styled the sophisticated number with a black stone necklace, Ray-Ban sunglasses, a large tote bag, and Havianas thong sandals. Her look was perfect for the occasion, which was dinner and a show at Greenwich House Theatre.

I'm not saying that you should get rid of your white summer dresses by any means, but if you're itching to switch things up before autumn's arrival, why not give a tan alternative a try? Lawrence clearly backs the refined colour option. You should, too.

If you’ve spent any amount of time on fashion’s corner of the internet, you’ll be familiar with this piece of advice: If an outfit isn’t interesting through texture or shape, make it interesting through colour. The latter is seemingly what every style insider has collectively decided to do over the past few weeks, with the red top trend a fiery new way of dressing that’s swiftly becoming hard to ignore.

Indeed, not since the red Versace dress Cindy Crawford wore to the 1991 Academy Awards has this colour garnered so much interest. But when smothering the top half of your body with a bold hue that commands traffic, you’re bound to steal attention.

What Is the Red Top Trend?

The red top trend first piqued my interest when I saw Zoë Kravitz wear a one with teeny tiny athletic shorts and round-toe mules à la Carrie Bradshaw while grabbing an iced latte in New York City. The thought of enhancing a very simple ensemble with a dominant shade in this way wasn’t one that had really crossed my mind before. I was interested, especially as an owner of a red cashmere Prada top that I have often struggled to style in the past. (I’ve probably worn it twice since buying it, and both times over a polka dot skirt.) One sighting does not make a movement, of course. But once I saw this outing, I began to notice elegant red tops cropping up everywhere.

Just last month, Victoria Beckham took to the streets of Paris in a polo-style red top, complementing the strong shade with flared jeans and an Hermès Kelly bag. Earlier in the year, while in Los Angeles, Kendall Jenner paired a scarlet half-zip long-sleeve style from The Row with wide-leg trousers and black loafers. Elsewhere, in New York, both Jennifer Lawrence and Dakota Johnson put two very different spins on the red top trend, with Lawrence wearing hers under a blazer and with woollen trousers and Vans trainers, while Johnson styled a crimson button-down with Agolde jeans and Saint Laurent shoes.

How to Style the Red Top Trend

Of course, there are so many different iterations of the red top trend, as the crux of this silhouette really comes down to contrasting the daring tone with a neutral base in order to make yourself appear more striking.

This is something the ‘pop of red’ trend and ‘unexpected red’ theory, both of which went viral in the early days of 2024, taught us. But here, the red top trend acts as a very breezy way of helping an outfit look more considered, as all you need is a well-structured shirt, blouse or tank to make you appear thoughtful and put-together.

This trend's appeal also lies in its versatility, as it does so much to elevate basics like trousers or jeans. It’s no surprise to see this hack appear time and time again in the collections of The Row, Khaite, Bottega Veneta and Tibi, so this fuss-free formula is key to achieving the same level of polish and chicness that these brands possess.

And to borrow the teachings of colour theory for a moment, red is tied up with a number of psychological and biological associations, making this trend really one to get the blood pumping…

Our advice is grounded in expertise and has to pass our exceptional taste levels—so you can feel confident in every recommendation.

We live in a time in which the '90s dictate nearly all of our present-day bag trends. I, for one, am okay with that. Bags in the '90s were really good. They weren't fussy—they were just cool and versatile. But not all of the '90s bag trends have made a 2020s comeback (yet). Shoulder bags' reign—and every iteration of them—has been long, but Jennifer Lawrence just wordlessly indicated that a new trend is likely to enter the chat.

The trend I'm referring to is mini backpacks. Yes, like the Clueless-era ones. While out in NYC, Lawrence was photographed wearing a tiger-print vintage Fendi mini backpack, which made me do a bit of a double-take. I definitely owned multiple mini backpacks when I was in school, and I vaguely remember owning a Mansur Gavriel one in the 2010s, but I hadn't thought about them much until recently. But Lawrence's bag choice reminded me that I'd recently seen a few mini backpacks among Miu Miu's new arrivals, which is a major indicator that a trend is making a comeback (because, Miu Miu). It's also worth noting that Chanel, Prada, and Saint Laurent never stopped making them.

One of the main things that draws me to mini backpacks is the hands-free aspect. Crossbody bags and fanny packs are also in that category, but I think we can all agree that it's time for a fresh hands-free option. Perhaps mini backpacks are it. If you agree, or are at least curious, scroll on to see Lawrence's bag (which she paired with a slip dress, ballet flats, and a sweater around her shoulders), and shop other designer mini backpacks (including the new Miu Miu one) since her cool Fendi one is vintage.

I’m done with overcomplicating my outfits—Jennifer Lawrence just reminded me how chic low-maintenance style can be. Spotted strolling through New York, the actor made the case for simplicity in a matching satin set—yes, satin pyjamas—and simple mesh ballet flats. And still, the whole look felt undeniably elevated.

Was it the way the supple satin swayed? The soft, neutral palette that managed to be both timeless and fresh? Or maybe it was the elegant accessories that shone against the neutral base? Most likely, it was a little of everything that made her look so compelling.

Jennifer Lawrence does not hate trainers—quite the contrary. She loves them and seemingly has a closet full of trendy styles. So if you ever want to know what the latest and greatest 'It' trainers are, you can look to her to wordlessly inform you. And even if you are someone who hates trainers, the pair she just wore is so unique that there's a strong chance they'll appeal to you.

The trend I'm referring to is a hybrid style in the same vein as ballet trainers. This one is Mary Jane trainers, and a quick internet search proves that the trend is taking off.

There are even Adidas Samba Mary Jane trainers (yes, you read that correctly). Lawrence's pair is an almost-sold-out designer style by Wales Bonner. Her fabric shoes feature a Velcro strap across the foot and a sporty gum sole, offering the best of both Mary Jane and sneaker worlds. Considering how wildly popular Mary Jane flats remain, it's only natural that designers are trying new things with them. If you ask me, these are the perfect summer trainers, as they work best without socks.

Lawrence wore her Mary Jane trainers with baggy black jeans and a sheer, dark-red top, plus her favourite vintage leopard Prada bag, but I'd love to see them with shorts or a dress. If you'd like to be one to try that combination this summer, keep scrolling to shop the best pairs of Mary Jane trainers on the internet for yourself.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve always found skirts to be some of the trickiest pieces in my wardrobe to style. Don’t get me wrong—I adore them—but I’m constantly caught in a push-pull between wanting to wear them and not quite knowing how to make them work. During the colder months, it’s easier: knee-high boots and skirts are one of my all-time favourite pairings. But come summer? That’s when things get a little more complicated.

So, I’ve been patiently waiting for a hit of new-season skirt styling inspiration, and this week, it finally arrived. In the form of a lace-trim skirt and elegant strappy tan sandals outfit, courtesy of Jennifer Lawrence.

Wearing a white lace-trim skirt that swished just so, Lawrence, forgoing her usual flip-flops, opted instead for sleek, light tan sandals with delicate straps that wrapped around the foot. In a versatile neutral shade, they added a sense of ease and polish while complementing the length and colour of her lacy skirt.

Working well with the midi-length and neutral shade of Lawrence's skirt, these versatile sandals would also style neatly with shorter minis.

Keeping things cool and casual, Lawrence paired the ensemble with an oversized graphic T-shirt, a bright red Hermès Victoria Leather bag, a white baseball cap, and a layered stack of necklaces, creating an interesting ensemble that could withstand New York’s high-summer heat.

Finally satisfied: I’ll be styling my skirts with sleek tan strappy sandals for the rest of the season. If you’re tempted to do the same, keep scrolling for my edit of the best lace-trim skirts and tan sandals to wear right now.

Over the last three summers, white poplin skirts have become as synonymous with the season as denim cutoffs or flip-flops, especially across Europe and in major American cities like Los Angeles and New York. They're breezy, elegant, and versatile, a combination of attributes that few other fashion items can consistently boast. All that said, it would take a lot for an item to come along and disrupt the growth of white poplin skirts this time of year. And yet, that's exactly what we're seeing happen all around fashion capitals, from Milan to Paris to Manhattan. Just as pretty, but with a touch more formality and newness, lace-trim skirts are here to dominate summer 2025. And this just in: Jennifer Lawrence is getting involved.

On Jennifer Lawrence: The Row bag and shoes

The No Hard Feelings actress was recently seen in New York City wearing a red blouse and black cardigan with a lace-trim midi skirt, also in black. She styled the skirt with mostly The Row accessories, including her £30,000+ alligator Lady bag (also owned by Ashley Olsen herself) and a pair of sold-out Eva ballet flats. Whether she was going out to a nice dinner, meeting a friend for an outdoor lunch, or taking business meetings, you wouldn't be able to tell from her outfit, which is very much a benefit of the lace-trim skirt trend. It works for every occasion.

The European fashion set agrees, which is why we see stylish women in cities like Paris, Milan, and London all leaning into lace-trim skirts, styling them with everything from baggy T-shirts to cashmere sweaters and kitten-heel mules to knee-high boots. It's a trend with real mainstay power, which is why everyone who likes cool, effortless dressing should invest in one stat before the good ones are all sold out.

We’re on the precipice of the hottest period of the year. The dawn of summer draws our attention to the latest emerging trends and balmy new collections hitting shelves. Personally, I prefer to derive styling inspiration elsewhere, and that typically takes the format of pursuing the chicest off-duty moments from my favourite members of the celebrity set. This season has already been a particularly interesting one, from Daisy Edgar-Jones showcasing her posh languid wardrobe in the South of France to Dakota Johnson entering her revenge dressing era in a slew of sheer pieces while promoting her new romantic comedy, Materialists. However, there’s no one who has caught my attention more than Jennifer Lawrence.

While she’s always turned a look on the red carpet, who can forget that custom Calvin Klein red dress from her first Oscars or the stunning Raf Simons for Dior gown she wore when receiving the Academy Award for Best Actress in 2013, it’s only been within the past few years that she’s honed the craft of curating an enviable street style outfit. Shedding her Kentucky kitsch—read: jelly sandals and floral dungarees—in favour of a nonchalantly luxurious aesthetic that’s always timeless but still bubbling with personality, Lawrence has made Manhattan a stomping ground for an effortless and expensive closet that we can’t help but covet.

Style Notes: Jennifer Lawrence's latest summer outfit from the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, where she was promoting her latest project, the psychological dark comedy-drama Die, My Love.

In my opinion, summer is where the actress truly shines. Radiating a breezy energy that is so enviable during warmer months, the cardinal rules of Lawrence’s summer capsule wardrobe are ones that prioritise ease, elegance and a sense of calm. Her silhouettes are always billowy yet, but tailored perfectly to give her that editorially oversized proportion. The pieces she wears are classic, however never basic and fall into that contrived West Village regalia netizens find so pastiche. And underneath her classy core uniform, there’s always a hint of the hilarious Hollywood starlet we fell in love with all those years ago, be it in the form of a graphic t-shirt like Loewe’s “I Told Ya” top that appeared in Luca Guadagnino’s Challengers, or a camo baseball cap that could’ve easily been purchased impromptu at a petrol station.

After analysing what it is exactly about her wardrobe that just clicks, I landed on a few key staples that always prominently feature in her most prolific ensembles. There’s, of course, her stylist Jamie Mizrahi, who is undoubtedly indispensable in helping her pull together her demands-to-be-replicated attire. But more specifically, the secret to her wardrobe all lies in a few expensive-looking high street essentials. Lawrence might wear designer minimalist brands like The Row, St. Agni and Toteme, but it doesn’t take a lot of digging to find similar pieces worth injecting into your own sunny day sense of dress.

6 Chic Trends Spotted in Jennifer Lawrence's Summer Capsule Wardrobe

1. Button-Down Shirt

Style Notes: Coco Chanel once said, “Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off”. And while Lawrence’s summer capsule wardrobe always leans into her simplistic style philosophy, she always ensures to add this one thing: An oversized button-down. Be it dressing up jeans and a white t-shirt or elevating a simple tee and midi skirt, Lawrence always makes sure her outfits are well-balanced by throwing on this final layer. Don’t think for a second that this choice is haphazard, though. These shirts are always chosen with intention and often sport a pastel hue like a butter yellow or soft blue. When selecting your own, skip the linens and reach straight for boyfriend or Oxford style—two of 2025's biggest shirt trends—with a bit of structure and higher coverage.

Shop the Look:

2. Pendant Necklace

Style Notes: While there are countless A-listers who frequently wear similar brands in high rotation, Kendall Jenner calls to mind, Lawrence always makes these luxuriate’s feel unique to her through her clever use of accessories. There’s her penchant for a Y2K-inspired trainer, like the Adidas Tokyo or Puma Speedcats, of course. But also her vintage-influenced sunglasses—another of the year's major trends—like the oversized aviators from Phoebe Philo that she wears on rotation. However, no style is more synonymous than her pendant necklaces. When purchasing your own, seek out for an organically shaped object that hangs on a long black cord to really emulate Lawrence’s mood.

Shop the Look:

3. Slip Skirt

Style Notes: If you hadn’t noticed by now, a lot of what Lawrence wears comprises of natural fibres—a Jil Sander cashmere sweater, wool pants from The Row, La Ligne denim jeans. One of the seasonal updates Lawrence makes when compiling her summer capsule wardrobe is swapping out these heavier materials for light linens and sumptuous silks. These mostly take the form of slip skirts that fall just below her thigh. I specifically adore how she mixes light and tones and contrasts structured and smooth fabrics in this outfit through the pairing of a leather blazer with a lace-trimmed skirt. Note how she tops it all off with a hat that reads The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1. Our girl loves a reference. (And a Letterboxd rec!)

Shop the Look:

4. Coloured Kint

Style Notes: Irrespective of the garments she wears, the majority of Lawrence’s summer ensembles always begin with a neutral base. Typically, it’s a variation of a white t-shirt and black trousers combination. The actress uses this as a blank canvas upon which she can build a more impactful outfit. But like Monet with his watercolours, Lawrence always adds dimension through the addition of a lightweight knit in a vibrant colour. (Usually navy blue, beige, or red.) The contrast of tones cuts through the monochromatic starting point and instantly draws your attention to her because of how boldly her sweater stands out against the muted backdrop.

5. Satin Trousers

Style Notes: Londoners have already picked up on the allure of satin trousers. Still, for the uninitiated, it’s worth giving this newfound wardrobe necessity its flowers, especially when endorsed by someone as chic as Lawrence. The fluidity of the pants instantly relaxes any outfit, and the fabric feels so breathable on hot days. Take cues from the mother-of-two and wear with flip flops, ballet flats or slide-on sandals.

Shop the Look:

6. Tailored Trousers

Style Notes: As you probably have noticed by now, Lawrence’s formula for a sophisticated ensemble relies on a few important building blocks, like a crisp top and fun shoes. Tailored trousers are another. Normally high-waisted, wide-leg and pleated through the leg, Lawrence doesn’t discriminate when it comes to colour or material. Instead, she focuses on fit. The effect is a cut that’s far more coastal than slick for the city. When investing, consider if they’d be something that would fit in as easily in Brighton or Cornwall as they would in London.

Shop the Look:

Sure, tailored trousers and heels are a timeless pairing, but when I’m aiming for something a little more relaxed and, dare I say it, trendy, I’ll always reach for a flat. Comfortable and unfussy, flat shoes deliver an effortless quality that heels simply can’t replicate. And when styled with wide-leg trousers, they become the one shoe trend I know will look cool—every single time.

Proving my point, both Dakota Johnson and Jennifer Lawrence stepped out this week in tailored trousers, each opting for one of summer’s most impactful flat shoe trends. On an evening outing together, Johnson chose a light grey pair of wide-leg trousers and grounded her look with a glossy, square-toed loafer in black. With a similar throw-on ease, her trousers brought an easy elegance that was perfectly echoed by her chic choice of footwear.

Injecting colour and texture into her outfit, Johnson layered a warm brown blazer in a boxy cut over her ensemble, completing the look with The Row’s ‘90s leather tote and a long pendant necklace, the actor created a polished yet laid-back outfit that felt perfectly in sync with the relaxed energy of a summer evening.

Following a very similar styling formula for their shared evening out, Jennifer Lawrence opted for a pair of relaxed black tailored trousers, teaming them with sleek black, high-coverage leather flats. Her monochrome palette amplified the outfit’s sophistication, while a croc-print burgundy handbag added a subtle pop of colour and texture.

Together, grounded by the easy flat shoe and wide-leg trousers combination, their looks felt effortless and chic. For a two-piece foundation that guarantees polish without trying too hard, keep scrolling for our edit of the best wide-leg trousers and flat shoes to shop now.

If any brand knows how to make It trainers (affordable It trainers, I might add), it's adidas, and if any celebrity loves It trainers, it's Jennifer Lawrence. Sure, she may be one of many, but she clearly is fond of retro It trainers, and we report on it very regularly.

Speaking of adidas's knack for designing It trainers, the brand has made a habit of resurrecting styles from its extensive archives. Prior to 2023's Samba frenzy, you may remember the acute popularity of Stan Smiths and Superstars, but I don't know that any style has been more widely embraced than Sambas. With that kind of popularity comes fatigue, and people have been shopping for the next It trainers that aren't everywhere yet but are gaining buzz by the day. Lawrence appears to have heard the buzz.

While out in NYC this weekend, she was spotted wearing a pair of black adidas Taekwondo sneakers. The minimal slip-on style (it also comes in a lace-up version) was initially created for the Tokyo Olympics and is inspired by martial arts footwear. It's trending alongside adidas's Toyko and Japan sneakers, but now that the highly influential Lawrence is embracing the Taekwondo style, I predict that many orders are going to be placed for it, in particular. Keep scrolling to be one of those future adidas Taekwondo owners alongside Lawrence if you're so inclined.
